Why are These Ebikes Cheaper?<\/h2>\n

These e-bikes are cheaper for several reasons. First, they are all hub-drive<\/strong>. That is, they have their motors in the hub of the rear wheel. This is a simpler and cheaper configuration than a crank-drive, in which the motor is housed in the bottom bracket, between the pedals. Interestingly, it is also the most powerful placement. If you want more details about the pros and cons of hub drive versus a crank-drive, please check out the post below.<\/p>\n

Also, these bikes have cheaper parts<\/strong> mixed in, as is the case with all cheaper bikes. For example, the manufacturers of most of these e-bikes proudly state that they have Shimano gears, but that is somewhat like saying they have round wheels. Shimano makes a huge range of gears, and these ebikes will obviously have gears from the lower end of the Shimano range.<\/p>\n

That said, if you find you really love your new e-bike, there is nothing to stop you upgrading<\/strong> the components over time. Plus, you will have money to spend, because the cost of running an e-bike is pennies a day (for electricity).<\/p>\n

Also, fear not – these manufacturers have not sacrificed safety considerations<\/strong>. For example, most of these e-bikes sport mechanical disk brakes<\/strong>, giving you the stopping power you need for a fast e-bike. And a surprising number of these e-bikes even have integrated accessories, such as lights, horn, rack, fenders, and baskets.<\/p>\n[table \u201c135\u201d not found \/]

All of These Budget E-bikes Have Smart Chargers<\/h2>\n

All of these e-bikes come with smart chargers, meaning you can just plug the battery in to charge, and forget about it. It will stop charging when it is fully charged. Note that if you don\u2019t ride your ebike for 3 weeks or more, you should charge the battery up occasionally \u2013 just to keep it in good shape. Like us, lithium batteries need exercise! I bought a power bar with a 7-day timer<\/strong><\/a> that I connect up when the weather is very bad. I charge my battery (and my wife\u2019s ) for 30 minutes a week, and that keeps them healthy. It is also handy for keeping our Verizon hotspot charged, but not over-charged, as it does not have a smart charger.<\/p>\n
