Our current models are equipped with a 14.25Ah battery that can reach distances of up to 35 miles per charge depending on variables like rider weight, terrain and how much you pedal. 2. There is a difference between city e-bikes and off-road trail e-bikes. Determine how you will use your ebike before purchasing. City bikes are best for commuting while off-road bikes are best for trails. 3. Assess your reaction time. Most ebikes can reach up 30 MPH going downhill and can be dangerous if you are not prepared to stop in time and be aware of your surroundings. 4. Compare different specs of ebike models and choose the one that fits you best. The weight of the ebike and the battery can be a deciding factor if you have to lift it for storage or transportation. 5. Battery charge time. Life EV batteries charge for 4-8 hours depending on the battery capacity.
