A hybrid electric bike is exactly what it sounds like – a combination of a e-road bike and a e-mountain bike. Hybrid bikes feature all the best bits to create a great all-rounder that’s perfectly suited to sorts of terrain. Electric hybrid bikes really shine in the urban environment. They’re the perfect city bike which makes them very popular among commuters.
Hybrid e-bikes usually have flat handlebars, similar to electric mtbs, rather than the drop bar you’d find on an e-road bike. This means that the gear shifter, brake components and display are usually very similar to those found on electric mountain bikes.
Hybrid electric bikes have an upright riding position somewhere between an electric road bike and a mountain bike that many riders find more comfortable and potentially safer in traffic.
Hybrid bike tyres are usually halfway between sporty thin road tyres and the thick knobbly tyres you’ll see on e-mountain bikes. If you’re planning on riding on trails, grass and muddy country roads, you’ll need to consider the tread on your hybrid tyre. On the other hand, cyclists who spend most of their time riding on the tarmac may wish for a more road-style slick tyre for performance on the flat.
Electric Hybrid Bikes are designed to be hardwearing and low maintenance, built for a life on the road with front forks to absorb the lumps and bumps. Plus, many come with protection such as mudguards and pannier racks, perfect for carrying your sandwiches and laptop or luggage before heading out for an adventure!.
So unless you want an electric road bike or mountain bike for a specific purpose, hybrid e-bikes are the most versatile option for casual cyclists – perfect for cycling to work during the week and ready for heaps of fun at the weekends.
Can an e-Bike replace a car?
E-bikes are responsible for almost zero CO2 emissions and produce very little noise when they’re on the road presenting a significant opportunity to cut carbon emissions by filling in the first and last-mile gap and replacing cars for many urban trips. Consider too the ever-rising cost of keeping a vehicle on the road. Our customers discover in no time that they have a lot more money in their pockets when riding their electric bikes rather than using a car, quickly recouping the cost of the e-bike in money saved.
Hybrid e-bikes are incredibly versatile, performing exceptionally well on and off the road, with a front suspension and all-terrain tyres fitted to most bikes. A comfortable ride in any condition is always guaranteed, making them perfect for touring and commuting.
Riding an electric bike is more like a stroll rather than a sprint, meaning sweat-free commutes eliminating the need to pack a change of clothing or a shower; cycling to work can be done in a suit rather than spandex. E-bikes are the ideal bridge between a traditional bicycle and a car.
Maybe it’s time to ditch the car!!!
