Electric Road Bikes | Lightweight E-Bikes For Road Riding

Learn More About Electric Road Bikes

Unlike its bulkier off-road counterparts, a road e bike is specifically designed to be ridden on tarmac or smooth pavement. This can be seen in the bike’s lightweight frame for easier manoeuvring, lightly treaded tyres that offer better grip on roads, and overall slim profile for improved aerodynamics.

If you’re a commuter seeking a more efficient way to commute or a casual rider who prioritises comfort and convenience, an e-road bike could be your perfect ride.

Who Makes a Good Electric Road Bike?

There are many electric road bikes for sale, so how should you decide which to get?

The best electric road bike combines the best aspects of a traditional road bike with the added benefits of an electric motor. Consider the following features:

  • Lightweight construction: As electric road bikes are engineered for agility and efficient handling, they need to be as lightweight as possible (around 20 kg). You might find most good e-road bikes are built from high-quality lightweight materials like aluminium alloy and carbon fibre.
  • Motor power: Unlike high-power electric bikes, electric road bikes are equipped with motors that deliver moderate speed and assistance. With power output that ranges from 250W to 500W, these motors provide enough support for smooth and efficient riding and hill-climbing.
  • Pedal assist levels: The best road ebikes also have multiple pedal assist levels so you can customise your ride according to your preferred level of control and comfort. You can also adjust these to conserve battery and enhance your range, or adapt to different riding conditions.
  • Battery capacity: Range is crucial, especially if you are planning to get a commuter e-bike. That said, consider your typical riding distance and choose a battery with enough capacity to get you there and back.
  • Premium components: It’s also very important to choose high-quality components like Shimano drivetrains, hydraulic or mechanical brakes, clear LCD displays, and more.

What about suspension? You may find some electric road bikes with front suspension for added comfort, but this feature is largely optional, as these bikes are meant for smooth, well-maintained roads—not for tackling rough and challenging terrain.

Riding an Electric Road Bike

If your riding needs are more about efficient manoeuvring and less about conquering technical trails, then an electric road bike just might be your perfect match. 

With an electric road bike, enjoy a whole new way to ride and navigate the city. Experience effortless cruising on a cruiser e-bike or enjoy longer rides without exerting too much effort. Transform your commutes by exploring new routes that might have otherwise seemed daunting.
