Ebike Categories and Classes

Categories 

  • Urban ebike - Urban ebikes, also known as city ebikes, are a type of electric bike that are designed for use in urban environments. They are typically lightweight, with upright riding positions and features that make them easy to maneuver in traffic.

  • Comfort ebikes - Comfort ebikes are a type of electric bike that are designed with the rider's comfort in mind. They typically feature a relaxed riding position, plush seats, and suspension systems to smooth out bumps in the road. They also often have a step-through frame design, making them easy to mount and dismount. Comfort ebikes are often used for leisurely rides, commuting, and running errands.

  • Mountain ebikes - Mountain ebikes, also known as mtb ebikes, are a type of electric bike that are designed for off-road riding on trails, rugged terrain, and steep inclines. They are built with sturdy frames, wide tires, and suspension systems that help to absorb shocks and vibrations from the terrain.

  • Fat Tire ebikes - Fat tire ebikes, also known as fat tire electric bikes, are a type of electric bike that are characterized by their wide tires. These tires are typically 4 inches or wider and provide a larger surface area of contact with the ground. This gives them better stability and traction, making them well-suited for riding on loose or uneven surfaces such as snow, sand, and mud.
