Electric Bikes; The Luxurious Cycling Option


Electric bikes, the luxury transportation option that merges 21st century design and technology, enabling you to cycle further, faster, and longer. If you’d like to supercharge your cycling, get in touch with our team of eBike experts and learn about the numerous electric bikes for sale at our Hampshire eBike shop.


The Luxurious Option For The 21st Century Cyclist

Electrical bicycles, also known as eBikes are essentially regular bicycles with a pedal assist that helps people as they cycle; merging 21st century technology with the classic push-bike we all know and love. If the electric bicycle meets the legislative requirements to be considered road-legal, you can ride it on a road, cycle path, or anywhere a ‘normal’ push-bike is allowed.

A pedlec electric bike works thanks to the pedal assist electric motor. This motor works differently to a full-power or no-pedal bike, instead using a hub motor, there is a separate motor located near the rear wheel where it provides the rider with assistance as they pedal. This assistance can be provided either through the gear sprocket, or by pressing against the tyre.

The Peak Of Technological Excellence

Electric bikes provide cyclists with the ability to ride at the peak of technological excellence. For example, the Strada GT on our online store holds the powerful 24 Ah Panasonic battery, making it arguably one of the only road legal electric bikes with this level of power. This powerful battery means that whilst still complying with relevant regulations and limitation required to be road legal, it can still travel at speed for the effortless range of over 80 miles.

However, the technological supremacy of the Strada GT isn’t merely restricted to the power of the battery; this electric steed is also designed using new groundbreaking hydroforming technology. This results in a bicycle frame with superior strength and rigidity, which translates to a smoother and more balanced ride for the cyclist.

21st Century Tech Intertwined With Vintage Fashion

Whilst electric bikes are equipped with mind-blowing pedal assist technology, you can still enjoy riding a vintage styled bicycle. Based on a step-through frame of a pre-existing Axcess model, the Axcess Dressage includes amber walled tyres, a tan leather-look saddle and grips, and a front wicker basket. However, whilst vintage in style it is undeniably equipped for the needs of the modern day cyclist. This luxurious step through bicycle comes with a relaxed saddle and polished aluminium swept back handlebars, providing a comfortable ride. It also has a range of ergonomics that can be adjusted to suit your own unique riding style. Making it the ideal choice for those searching for a blend of vintage style and 21st century innovation.

Why Should You Cycle With An eBike?

Why should you choose to cycle on an electric bicycle instead of a luxury acoustic/analogue bike? There are numerous advantages of eBiking over cycling unassisted. Firstly whilst you may think that cycling unassisted is a better way to get more exercise, eBikes could potentially be more advantageous. This is because pedlec bicycles still require pedalling which provides a valuable source of exercise.

Additionally, one could make the argument that eBiking is actually more advantageous as the assistance will allow you to cycle for longer, make exercise less tiring, and boost the likelihood you’ll cycle more frequently; increasing the amount of exercise in your day-to-day life. For example, according to information found on Bicycling.com “when 20 non-exercising men and women e-biked about 40 minutes three days a week, they improved their cardiovascular fitness and blood sugar in just one month”

Electric bikes are also a stylish way to travel to work. Cycling to work isn’t just about exercise and keeping active, it’s also a key ingredient to defeating workplace stress. Exercise causes your body to release chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and various endorphins into your body’s system. This provides a mood boost and helps you to fight the impacts of workplace stress. However, exercising before work can result in you arriving to work feeling exhausted, however the wonders of 21st century eBike technology can provide you with the boost you need to arrive at work ready to start the day with the assistance of all the advantages of exercise; helping you as you assist customers/clients and interact with co-workers.
