Conclusion
There are quite a few things you have to be careful with when making your electric bike purchase.
- Vehicle range: You need to know just how far your bike will go between charges.
- Motor power: A high-motor-powered bike is pretty much necessary if you are an adrenaline addict who does not at all fancy a slow-footed electric scooter.
- Charge time: Ideally, opt for a bike that would cover more distance in less charge time.
- Budget range: One needs to balance necessities and luxuries with an actual amount one can spend on his/her e-bike. Choose based on what one pays for.
- Replaceable battery: A charged battery can be swapped for your existing one and is great compared to charging stations mushrooming here in India just like petrol stations.
