2020 Electric Road Bikes
Electric Bikes are one of the most exciting additions and innovations to hit the world of cycling, and they are becoming increasingly popular in road bike format. Electric Road Bikes provide our customers with the best of both worlds, featuring the frame and geometry of a regular road bike, alongside high performance pedal assist power - allowing our customers to enjoy a road bike that they can travel further on, and one which makes steep ascents easier on the legs - allowing for a more fun, more enjoyable riding experience.
As mentioned above, all of the electric road bikes that we supply operate on a pedal assist setup, which means that the electric motor adds power to your natural pedalling motion and power - giving greater distance and speed with each and every pedal. The effect of the power assist is instant, and the more intense the pedalling, the greater the power. All power also stops when you stop pedalling too, allowing for a very safe power delivery.
There are two main types of motor and drivetrain on road bikes, that is Hub Drive and Crank Drive. Although there are a few differences, the distinction between the two is actually pretty simple - hub drive looks more like a normal road bike, and produces less power. Crank drive electric road bikes are more powerful, and on ascents this extra power is really noticeable. Crank drive bikes also have extra range compared to their hub powered counterparts, thanks to the addition of a larger battery pack.
As standard, all electric road bikes also have a display and menu which allows different power modes to be cycled. Below, we run through some of our newest 2020 electric road bikes, from the likes of Giant, Colnago and Cannondale.Â
