The lightweight, stripped-back Ampler Curt e-bike is a fantastic town bike that has closer links to road racers than hybrids. Agile and nimble, there's a lot to love, with looks sealing the deal.

The saying 'never judge a book by its cover' was never more apt for most e-bikes. In fact, it's probably one of the reasons why there are still many e-bike naysayers, as looks alone are preventing many people from poking a toe in the electronic bike world. Once they did, I'd bet 99 per cent of them would be immediate converts.
