Why choose an ebike on the Cycle to Work Scheme?

Each commuting journey will require a different type of bike. eBikes have many benefits, especially for those with a lower fitness level or those who need to tackle hilly or tough terrain on their journey. Riders can simply use the bike’s “boost” to power themselves over more difficult areas, and ride for much longer and more consistently compared to a traditional manual bike.

Types of Cycle to Work Scheme ebikes

Electric Folding Bike

Electric folding bikes can be folded and unfolded in seconds, ensuring that they can be stored on buses, trains and under desks. Best suited to a mixed commute, they have small wheels making them easy to manoeuvre down city streets.

Electric Hybrid Bike

The most versatile of electric bikes, the hybrid bikes are designed to cover a wide range of varied terrain. It has many of the same features as a traditional hybrid bike, however, it also features that all-important electric boost to help riders reach their destination comfortably.

Electric Mountain Bike

Electric mountain bikes are suited for off-road rugged terrains, making those climbs much easier to manage. They usually have higher volume tyres and increased suspension features. These types of bikes tend to be more expensive and are much heavier than their counterparts.
