An electric bike or eBike is a bicycle that features an electric motor powered by a rechargeable battery. Most eBikes also feature a handlebar mounted control system for setting your level of pedal assistance and displaying basic ride information like speed and distance travelled.

eBikes make it easier to ride further and more often. You can go longer distances, get there faster, easily carry more luggage and arrive in a fresher condition when doing it! You still get an exercise benefit and the simple joy of being on a bike, but the experience is less taxing and something you’ll want to repeat daily.

When you consider no parking fees, minimal fuel costs and avoiding crowded public transport - it is easy to see why these bikes are becoming so popular.

To give more riders than ever before the opportunity to get on an eBike, Reid Cycles have partnered with industry leaders to develop our own range of electric bikes. Reid offer a range of systems from affordable hub motors by Bafang and mid-mount Ananda, through to the latest Shimano Steps systems for a premium experience.
