What’s the benefit of an electric bike test ride?
As mentioned at the beginning of this article, purchasing an electric bike can be a big investment. Whether you’re upgrading from a conventional bicycle, finding an alternative to your commute, or beginning a brand new fitness journey, it’s important to have all the facts about your electric bike before starting this new adventure. Not only should you ensure that an electric bike is for you, but you should also make sure you’re getting the right model for your needs. Peddle electric bikes come in four distinct models, each with specific features that make them perfect for different requirements. The Peddle Step, for example, has a low step-through frame that makes it easy to mount and dismount. Meanwhile the Peddle Go has a foldable handlebar stem and pedals for easy storage at home, in the office, or during the commute. The Peddle Pro is our most robust model, featuring a powerful Motinova central drive motor and a removable Samsung battery, making it perfect for any adventure.
