Things to Look at While Choosing an Electric Vehicle

Believe it or not, electric vehicles are indeed the future of mobility. Why? Because in contrast to vehicles powered by gasoline-diesel, they are cost-effective, environment friendly, easy to maintain and play a vital role in reducing noise pollution.

If you’ve been interested in buying an electric bike for a while, now will be the perfect time to take the next step. Not sure how to choose an electric two-wheeler? Well, we got you covered! Check out some expert tips below.

#1 Bike range

One of our top tips to choose an E-bike is to look at its range – how far can it travel on a single charge? While deciding the range, figure out the purpose you need the E-bike to solve. Answer questions like does your day involve a heavy or light commute? If, indeed, your goal is to take the bike around town for daily work, a 70km range should be enough.

#2 Battery quality

The battery is your e-bike’s fuel. Therefore, your bike is only as good as the battery. It would be best to go for a variant that uses a lithium-ion battery with a long charge capacity and a substantial lifespan. Not to mention, the battery type used in the bike also makes a difference in its performance. Simply put, lithium-ion batteries would be excellent for your E-bike as they take anywhere between 2 to 6 hours to fully charge and let you travel an entire day without needing any recharges.
