If you’re looking for a comfortable bike that’s always ready for you to jump on and go, an e-hybrid is the perfect choice. These are comfortable rides with an upright seating position, medium size tyres and electric assist to help your adventures last longer. Here’s our quick guide to e-hybrids and our pick of six available at Cycle Technology right now - including some great discounts.
What is an e-hybrid bike?
A hybrid is essentially in between a road bike and a mountain bike, with models towards either end of the spectrum and everywhere in between. They’re great for everything from urban and commuter riding to recreation, fitness and heading out on adventures. They have flat handlebars and will often have practical touches like a rear rack, front and back lights as standard and mounting points for bottle cages, bags and more.
An e-hybrid is simply a hybrid bike with electric power assist provided by a motor and battery. UK law states that e-bikes can only provide assistance up to 15.5mph so if you want to go faster you’d better get those legs pumping or point your bike downhill! Larger e-bike batteries can provide assist for more than 80 miles, depending on the terrain and which power settings you’re using, so all-day exploring is yours for the taking.
