How to choose the right electric bike for you
To choose an electric bike, start with your usual routes, distances and storage space. The Evolution Bikes catalogue includes brands such as Trek, Bergamont, Scott, Coppi, Via Veneto and Fantic. Compare the features of individual models: price alone does not describe comfort, equipment or ease of use.
- City: electric city bikes are designed for everyday journeys. Assess riding position, ease of getting on the frame and whether lights, mudguards and a luggage rack are fitted.
- Off-road: electric MTB offer geometry and tyres suited to off-road riding. Hardtails have front suspension; full-suspension models add rear suspension, useful on rougher terrain.
- Road and mixed routes: road e-bikes prioritise riding on tarmac; electric gravel bikes also let you tackle unpaved roads, depending on tyres and specification.
Mid-drive and hub motors distribute weight differently and can offer different riding sensations. Assess how assistance is delivered and whether it suits the hills you tackle. To learn more, read our e-bike guide.
Battery capacity needs to be considered alongside intended use: range varies with elevation gain, weight carried, terrain, temperature and assistance level. Also check whether the battery is removable and where you can charge it.
For sizing, consider your height, inside leg measurement and the model's geometry. Frame material influences the overall design, but is not enough to establish the bike's weight. Also compare gearing, brakes and tyres: they need to suit your routes and expected load.
If you are looking for an electric bike on offer, first check the available size and variant, then compare equipment and servicing support. A choice suited to everyday use matters more than the initial price alone.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose an electric bike on offer?
Start with your intended use and check that the size and variant suit you. Compare the motor, battery, brakes, gears and equipment, along with the availability of servicing support.
Which electric bike should I choose for the city?
Look for a comfortable riding position and a frame that is easy to get on. Check for lights, mudguards and a luggage rack if you need them for everyday journeys.
What range does an electric bike have?
Range depends on battery capacity, elevation gain, weight carried, temperature and assistance level. Compare the manufacturer's figures, taking into account the conditions in which they were obtained.
Is a mid-drive or hub motor better?
It depends on the route and model. A mid-drive motor concentrates weight near the centre of the bike; a hub motor acts on the wheel. Also assess assistance delivery, balance and ease of maintenance.
How do I find the right size for an e-bike?
Consult the model's size guide using your height and inside leg measurement. Geometry varies between brands and categories: the bike fitting service can help you assess your riding position.
