There are many types of electric bicycles. The needs of different riders can be met by purchasing different types of ebikes. This article starts from the classification of electric bicycles and explains the target audiences and suitable buyers of different types of electric bicycles.
"What types of electric bicycles are there? What rider needs do they meet?"
Many riders who have just started riding will have this problem. For many novices, choosing the right type is a very difficult thing. Many riders cannot choose the electric bicycle they want at one time. Then, I would recommend that you can choose according to different needs, or eliminate them through continuous attempts, and finally choose the ebike that suits you best.
"Folding Electric Bike"
Folding bicycles have a foldable frame. Generally, the folding mechanism is hidden on the frame. This mechanism is the key to making the electric bike take up less space, allowing you to easily put the ebike in a small space such as an apartment or office.
"Fat Tire Electric Bike"
Wide tires generally refer to the width of the tires. The common size of wide tires is 4 inches. Wide tires are most needed by off-road riders because of their unique grip and contact area. However, they are not exclusive to off-road beginners. They can also be used for smooth riding on flat ground.
"Commute Electric Bike"
Commuter electric bikes are usually suitable for riding in cities and suburbs because the terrain is not too undulating. Taking into account the needs of riding and carrying, this type of electric bike is often not very heavy. The light frame and sturdy suspension are matched with the rear luggage rack that the seller usually gives away. Storage racks and storage accessories can be connected to the luggage rack to facilitate the transportation of items needed for commuting.
"Cargo Electric Bike"
Freight, as the name implies, is designed specifically for heavy-duty transport. The load range is generally between 220-550 pounds. Different types of freight have different load capacities, suitable for transporting different weights and items.
"Electric Mountain Bike"
Electric mountain bikes are usually designed for off-road riding enthusiasts. They usually have wide tires, full suspension and long-lasting batteries, which can ensure that they will not collapse in soft sand or roll over in rugged areas.
"Cruiser Electric Bike"
Cruiser electric bikes have a unique design that attracts many cycling enthusiasts. Some have an elegant appearance with smooth curves and modern fashion; some have a retro appearance with clear lines and classic nostalgia. Regardless of the style, these electric bikes are meticulously crafted in details, showing the designer's ingenuity and superb craftsmanship.
Factors to consider when buying an electric bike
Battery
Common volts are 36V and 48V. 36V batteries are commonly found on medium-power electric bicycles, which are suitable for daily commuting and short-distance riding. Common amperes are 10Ah-20AH. If you are riding in the city and only riding on flat terrain, a 10AH battery is enough. A 20AH battery is generally chosen by riders who need to ride long distances.
Motor
Motors usually have the following wattage options: 250W/350W/500W/750W and motor wattages above 1000W.
The laws in different regions have different requirements for motor wattage. A 250W motor can comply with the regulations of most countries; A 350W motor can handle some longer distance riding; A 500W motor can handle steep slopes and some riding with luggage; And motors above 1000W are suitable for professional off-road riding.
Brake System
Mechanical brakes are more suitable for simple urban commuting and leisure riding. They are relatively simple transmission devices that are transmitted through steel cables. They are easier to maintain and have lower costs. They do not require professional tools.
Hydraulic brakes are suitable for high-intensity riders and professional riders. Hydraulic brakes are transmitted through hydraulic oil, which makes them feel better and more stable.
Frame
Carbon fiber frames are very light and have good performance, but they are expensive and have high maintenance costs. They are easily impacted and damaged.
Aluminum alloy frames are light and durable. They have the advantages of being light, durable and corrosion-resistant. They are suitable for all weather conditions. All frames of DAYLYRIDE are made of aluminum alloy
Steel frames are very strong and light, but they are relatively expensive and difficult to repair and process.
Tire
The tire sizes of electric bicycles usually have the following options: 20 x 1.75 inches, 26 x 1.95 inches, 27.5 x 2.0 inches, 29 x 2.25 inches, 700C x 40 mm. Generally speaking, electric bicycles with tire widths below 2.0 inches are more suitable for urban commuting and small electric folding bicycles, while tires of 2.0 inches and above are more suitable for all-terrain electric bicycles and road bikes.
