Why should you buy an electric road bike or mountain bike?

A battery on a road bike or mountain bike might sound odd, or like cheating, but the opposite is true. Anyone who owns a sporty e-bike doesn’t want to go back. The battery mainly helps you on the tougher stretches – that’s what you should use it for. It’s certainly not allowed, for example, to ride 50 km/h fully electric. The e-road bike isn’t designed for that either. But at moments when you’re out of energy, have to tackle a steep climb or use your bike to commute to work, the electric assist is the perfect solution. It takes the strain off your body, helps you along and prevents muscle burn and excessive sweating. So only use the battery in these kinds of situations and not to go even faster, because that’s not what it’s meant for and, due to legal limits, it isn’t possible anyway.
On a mountain bike, a battery is ideal for the part of your route on public roads to get to the trail or the forest. These distances can be quite long, and a mountain bike isn’t the most comfortable bike for long, straight stretches. Switch the battery on and let it help you arrive fit and fresh at the point where you want to start climbing. While riding a course you can also switch the battery on to make things a bit more comfortable and to tackle hills and forest paths more smoothly. Again, the battery is meant for this type of support and not to ramp up your speed and rocket through the woods or over public roads. This is also protected against and therefore not possible.
