e-Road

Electric road bikes combine the sleek design of traditional road bikes with the powerful boost of an electric motor. Whether you're tackling hills, riding against headwinds, or just want to go further with less fatigue, e-road bikes make every ride more enjoyable and accessible.

What Is an Electric Road Bike?

An electric road bike is a lightweight, drop-bar bicycle equipped with a motor and battery to provide pedal assistance. This means the motor only engages when you pedal, amplifying your natural input and delivering a more powerful, smooth, and efficient ride.

Key Features

• Pedal Assist Motor – Usually a mid-drive motor for better weight balance and realistic riding feel.
• Integrated Battery – Sleek and efficient, powering your ride without compromising aerodynamics.
• Lightweight Frame – Typically aluminium or carbon, combining strength and speed.
• Road Geometry & Components – Drop bars, narrow tyres, and gearing built for performance.
• Disc Brakes – Reliable stopping power, even at high speeds or in wet conditions.
• Smart Displays – Control assist levels and track key metrics like speed, battery life, and distance.

Types of Electric Road Bikes

• Performance E-Road Bikes – Lightweight builds with subtle motor support for training or group rides.
• Endurance E-Road Bikes – Designed for longer distances and comfort, with a more relaxed geometry.
• Commuter E-Road Bikes – Practical builds with mounts for fenders, racks, and integrated lighting.

Why Choose an Electric Road Bike?

• Ride Further, Faster – Ideal for long-distance rides or commuting.
• Tackle Tough Climbs – Make hills feel flatter and more manageable.
• Bridge Fitness Gaps – Ride with faster friends or rejoin cycling after a break.
• Improve Daily Riding – Less sweat, more fun — especially in headwinds or stop-start traffic.

FAQs

1. Are electric road bikes heavier than regular road bikes?

Yes, due to the motor and battery, electric road bikes are typically heavier. However, many use lightweight materials like carbon or aluminium to minimise the difference.

2. How far can I ride an electric road bike on one charge?

Range depends on battery size, assist level, terrain, and rider weight, but most e-road bikes can travel between 50–120km per charge.

3. Can I still ride an electric road bike without power?

Yes. When turned off or if the battery runs out, electric road bikes function like standard bikes — though you'll feel the added weight.
