New to electric bikes?

Do I need a licence, tax or insurance?

Torque is the shove you feel the instant a climb bites. Every legal e-bike is 250W, so wattage tells you nothing — torque is what separates them. Ours run from 75Nm to 120Nm. Torque explained

What does it cost to run?

Around 12p to charge a 500Wh battery at current UK prices. The real costs are chains, tyres, pads and eventually the battery. The full numbers
