    Quite so,Rich! All good fun! Aren't we lucky to have so many different types of vehicles to play with? Can't see why more powerful ebikes need be so expensive though.

    Do make sure you ask for the throttle option if you go for a Tonaro.In my view it makes all the difference.

Welcome to Pedelecs UK - here you will find all the latest news, reviews and features to help you with your decision to purchase an electric bike, or just to keep up to date with the latest developments in electric bikes in the UK and world wide.

Visit our busy forum where you can discuss the merits of various electric bikes, from suppliers such as Wisper Bikes, Kalkhoff (50Cycles), Kudos Cycles, Storck Raddar, Oxygen, Juicy Bikes, Gepida, Ultra Motor, eZee, PowaCycle, PowaByke, Monark (ECOBike), Giant, Sparta, Urban Mover, Synergie, Alien, BionX, FreeGo, Giant, Haibike and many others.

Online since 2006, Pedelecs came to life as a place for people from all walks of life to discuss their passion for cycling and their interest in electric bikes. The community is made up of a broad range of people, from those just getting to grips with the idea of purchasing one of the electric bikes on the market today, to knowledgeable veterans happy to share the technical nouse they’ve acquired.

While we know guides and news are an important aspect of learning about the world of electric bikes, equally important is the ability to share experiences and knowledge and to hear those views first hand. We welcome views and experiences from ‘first timers’ to the original, early adopters of electric bikes on our forum, and also from trade members supporting the site too of course.

If you would like to contribute to our blog section, or would like to alert us to events or news then please email us.
