The great thing about electric bikes, or e-bikes as they're commonly known, is that there's one for pretty much every type of cycling. A commute that was too sweaty to do in work clothes becomes a breeze; for new or returning riders – or even for cyclists who don't go as fast up hills as they used to but still want to keep up on the club run – they're ideal.

With the increase in their popularity also comes better technology, improved batteries, better integration of the motor and lower weight. Some e-bikes are barely distinguishable at a glance from their purely pedal-powered non-assisted counterparts.
