Some have hub drive motors which track your pedal rotations and power the bike's wheels. today, though, i am using an even smarter crank drive bike. this uses a torque sensor to respond to how hard i press the pedals, so i've got my high—vis, i've got my hat and i have my bike — let's go. wow — i can feel the power. this suddenly feels so light — i can't believe i am going uphill. hitting 15.5 miles per hour — that is the legal speed limit for e—bikes in the uk — was pretty effortless, too. some countries do have higher speed limits for pedal assist bikes, but if you've seen cycl...

That there will be some extra cables on your frame after this, and a powerpack attached to the handlebars. assuming that won't upset your chi or your aerodynamics too much, you switch it on, select your power assist level and you are ready to go. first pleasant surprise — it wasn't a complete disaster. being a total novice, i did expect it to be harder than it was. secondly, it is outrageously fast. i can't actually have it on the highest setting, not on the flats — it is just too fast. i hardly touch the pedals and i am away. the only thing is that the power assistance doesn't always beha...

That this could go faster but i didn't think i would have the confidence to do it. actually, once i got going, the weight of it made me feel so much more confident. why do they have to speed limit it? but all this comes a pricetag. £4706 — pretty shocking really. spencer has been looking at a far cheaper solution. you might like the idea of a e—bike, but you may only have a perfectly nice bike already. the good news is you can retrofit your bike to make it electric using a conversion kit like this. switch is a new front wheel with a 250—watt motor in the middle. it also comes with a pow...
