What Type of Ebike is Right for Me?
Ebikes come in many varieties. There's a style of Ebike for everyone! Listed below are some of the main types, and keep in mind, within these types are further sub-categories and features. Accessories make your new Ebike even more personalized to your exact needs. EbikeCityZen offers a wide selection of Ebikes, so you'll find the perfect Ebike for you right here on our store!
- Cruiser: Designed for the recreational rider that wants comfort and control. You will sit upright, and have a super comfy saddle. Perfect for getting some exercise, running a quick errand to the store, exploring your city's green trails, sightseeing or a combination of all the above. This is the Ebike you're going to take to try out that new restaurant that's just outside your neighborhood, but haven't, because driving there and parking are such a hassle. Add a basket to the front and a pannier to the back and head to the farmer's market in the center of your community like you've been meaning to do. Your friends and neighbors will want an Ebike too, so they can join you on your journeys.
- Commuter: Designed get there fast. You live too far from work to walk there, and you've not been riding a bike because you'd get sweaty on the way. Get some great exercise without breaking a sweat because pedal assist on your new Ebike makes it so easy. No more paying for a parking space downtown and you're getting to work faster than you would in a car because you take the bike lanes and weave right through traffic. Add a rack for carrying your laptop and gym bag, you're going to take the scenic way home and stop at the gym for weight training, because you have time and energy left to spare.
- Mountain / All-Terrain: Designed for riding on or off road taking you farther and faster with less effort than a traditional bicycle. With the motor and the battery you will have even more control and more fun than ever. Take the “fun factor” to new levels. Even when riding with a friend or partner that’s more fit than you, you have the power to keep up. If you want to turn down the assist and get in a good workout, go for it. If you want to take it easy and let the motor work for you, you can do that too. You're going to explore all those nature trails outside of town that you've always been meaning to do.
- Cargo: Designed for the urban delivery driver and the family.
- Been beating up your car barely making scratch with your delivery hustle? Not to mention time wasted trying to park and make deliveries on traffic congested city streets. Switch to an Ebike and watch your vehicle expenses disappear. You haven't done this yet, because with all that pedaling on a regular bike, you'd never make it through your shift. With pedal assist on your Ebike - you can complete more deliveries faster - and keep more of what you earn!
- Parents, get a cargo Ebike equipped with child seats and a box on front just like they do in the Netherlands. Get all your errands done faster and more efficiently while reducing your carbon footprint. Instead of loading up the SUV and heading to the big-box store, you've committed to shopping local and finding fresher more sustainable options that help build your community. You'll ride into your town center and feel like part of the community because you simply hop off your Ebike right outside all of your favorite local shops instead of having to park in the big parking garage and lug everything back to your car.
With all these options and more, you'll love your new Ebike lifestyle. Many styles also come in step-through designs for easy mounting and dismounting, folding designs to take on your vacation to that quaint little lakeside town, or fat tires to amp up the look and give you more terrain to conquer.
