What's it like to ride?
Like all of the bikes that we sell, the Green Zebra Classic is a well made, well designed electric bike that is comfortable and gives great assistance when the power is applied. This review is focussed on the detail of the bike, highlighting some of the things that you might want to know when deciding which electric bike to choose.
It's a folding bike - what's the frame like?
The Green Zebra Classic has got a good folding mechanism with good clasps to hold everything in place when cycling. Like all folding bikes it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you've mastered the folding mechanism it's straightforward. The frame of this bike is quite high, so if you're concerned about getting on and off the bike (stepping through the frame) then this electric bike probably isn't for you In every other way, it's a super electric bike.

Configure your own Electric Bike
Have you been finding it difficult to find an electric bike
that is perfect for you? There are lots of electric bikes to choose from but
are they the right style? Too expensive? Not cool enough for your needs? We
might just have found the answer for you. Interested? Then read on…
What if you could choose the style of bike that you wanted and then add the electric components of your choice onto that bike. That would give you the perfect electric bike, right? Even better if a professional electric bike provider offered this service at sensible prices. Too good to be true? Well…No.
At Ebike Superstore the service to assemble the electric bike of your choosing is available, and it’s not as expensive at you might think. With prices starting at £695 it’s an attractive proposition. So how does it work?
To start with Ebike Superstore provide a range of top quality bikes on which to base your electric bike conversion. This is an important consideration because it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that an electric bike is still a bike and it needs to have good a quality frame; forks; shifters; gearsets and brakes. So with the starter bikes, this is all taken care of. Choose from a variety of mens and ladies bikes with a frame size to suit and then you can decide what electric conversion suits your needs.
The standard electric bike conversion comes with a seat post battery (sometimes called a frog battery); front wheel drive and a thumb throttle. You need to decide whether you want a different battery and whether to add a pedal assistance system.
You can change the seat post battery for either a bottle battery or a pannier battery – both of these will give better performance. There are pro and cons of the different types of electric bike batteries but that’s a subject for another time.
The final decision is whether to add a pedal assistance system. It’s hard to see why you wouldn’t want to add PAS to your electric bike – it’s great fun, makes cycling more interesting and just makes life so much more comfortable when you reach a hill. It also ensures that you prolong the life of your battery.
Even with the most expensive starter bike; battery upgrade and PAS added the final price of the conversion is still well under £1000 which is great value for money given that a number of electric bikes still retail for well over £2000.
More details can be found at Ebike Superstore.

Now for the science and technology lesson...
If you want to know more about ebikes technology then read on. Of course, the technology varies from ebike to ebike, depending upon the specification (you can find details at ebike Superstore against each ebike), but in general we can think about the battery, motor and overall design of the frame and components.

So just what exactly is an ebike?
An ebike (electric bike) is like a normal bicycle but it has a battery driven motor that assists you when pedalling. This makes cycling much easier because you have to expend far less effort when pedalling.
ebikes are relatively new to the UK and the popularity of these power assisted bikes has been incredible
