Enjoy this gift guide for the holiday season with Bosch eBike Systems
What began as a niche movement, eBikes have quickly become a global phenomenon. For young or old, for urban or sporty use, eBikes or pedelecs (electric bicycles that must be pedalled, rather than powered by a throttle) have made cycling more accessible and more relaxing for people of all ages and fitness levels.
Revolutionising urban transport and turning everyday riders into explorers, the pedal-assist boost of eBikes shrinks mountains, shortens the distances that lie ahead and make it even easier for you to reach your goals this holiday season.
What are the different types of Bosch eBikes?
EBikes can be broadly grouped in to a few categories, depending on their main use. For most people, it’s either primarily for transport, everyday leisure, or sports.
Different models can be better suited to different needs, so whether you’re thinking of buying an eBike for yourself or for a loved one, consider the following:
- Is it going to be used for carrying goods around such as shopping or a surfboard?
- Is it intended for mountain bike trails, to make those uphill efforts more enjoyable?
- Is it likely to be travelling at speed, or for leisurely cruising along the cycleway?
Where is the eBike going to be ridden?
- What sort of distances will it be doing in an average journey?
- What terrain is it going to travelling on?
What’s your budget?
- As with all things in life, the poor man pays twice. Consider doing some research to ensure you’re buying a quality product that isn’t going to come back to bite you with faulty parts or safety concerns later on.
More than 100 of the world’s top bicycle brands use Bosch eBike components. The long-lasting rechargeable batteries, and high quality drive systems offered by Bosch mean there is an ideal product for every bicycle and its intended use.
