Why electric road bikes are awesome

Electric road bikes are similar to the e-bikes you know and love, but they’re lighter, faster and designed to deliver a real road bike experience over longer distances. Just like road bikes are generally more performance-orientated than traditional city bikes, these drop-bar e-road bikes are generally more high-performance than traditional city e-bikes. You can use an e-road bike for your daily commute, but they really shine on fast-paced group rides, long solo rides and epic weekend adventures.

E-road bikes have an electric assist system that boosts your own power so you can ride faster, climb with ease, ride through headwinds and cover greater distances. They’re designed for riding primarily on the road, but many models are also great on mixed surfaces and gravel.

Our e-road bikes are pedal-assist, which means that the electric motor helps turn your pedals while you’re pedalling. The motor amplifies your own power for a natural ride feel that lets you enjoy everything you love about road riding, and nothing you don’t.

Learn more about how e-bikes work

E-road bikes supercharge your legs you so you can focus less on catching your breath and more on soaking up the sights and spending time with friends.

Push any pace

Ride with faster groups, power through headwinds, and take the scenic route while still saving time.

Adventure without limits

Legs heavy? Wind howling? On an e-road bike, you can leave limits behind thanks to an extra boost that helps you power through the toughest parts of a ride.

Fly up hills

The extra power helps you make short work of any climb, leaving you with more energy to enjoy the ride, clock more miles and hit more hills!

You can ride your e-road bike on tarmac, gravel and bike paths. Regulations vary by country, region and city, so check out PeopleForBikes’ resources or contact your local authorities for more details.
