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.
