Ecoride E-bikes

What is an electric bike?

Electrically assisted bicycle

An e-bike is just like a regular bike, but it has a battery, an electrical system with controls, a display and a motor that can be located at the front, back or in the hub at the pedals. In other words, an electrically assisted bicycle.

How fast does an e-bike go?

An e-bike can be equipped with a maximum of 250W of motor power and can go up to 25km/h, but you can go faster using the pedals. Above 25km/h you won't get any electric assistance but you can of course go faster using the pedals.

How long does the battery last?

The range of the battery depends of course on the size of the battery, but many other factors also play a role. Road surface, load weight, temperature and tyre pressure are some of these factors. Our e-bikes have a range of 45-85 km.

Electric bikes for a Nordic climate

We only develop electric bikes specially designed for our Nordic climate. An electric bike from Ecoride is either equipped with our proprietary hub motor system Ecoride Drive System, or a centre motor system from the well-known Shimano STEPS. In our magazine you can read more about the advantages of each system and the differences between the hub motor and the centre motor.

Why buy an electric bike?

Perfect for commuting

It's much faster than a regular bike, and often faster than public transport too. Commuting with an e-bike is comfortable and you choose how much assistance you want your motor to give you.

Good for your health and well-being

Many of us have sedentary jobs where we get little physical activity during the working day. Starting the day with a bike ride and fresh air has several health benefits.

Electric bikes are good for your wallet

Buying an e-bike may seem like a big expense, but it's actually an investment. In fact, you quickly save the money you would otherwise spend on petrol, parking or bus passes.
Eliminate everyday stress and congestionBicycling is one of the most efficient ways to get around, especially in the city. With an electric bike, you can get going quickly in the morning. Avoid the stress of mile-long traffic jams, full car parks and delayed buses. You can park your e-bike for free and set your own timetable. Maybe you can find a shortcut where the car can't go?

Eco-friendly, fun and easy commuting

One of the biggest advantages of commuting with an electric bike is of course the environment. An electric bike is a climate-smart choice when it comes to commuting. It has low emissions compared to other vehicles such as cars, trains and buses. By choosing an electric bike, you contribute to better air quality, reduced road wear and a noise-free environment. It's a magical feeling to glide effortlessly up a hill (if you want to). And above all, the e-bike is easy to use and maintain.

How to choose the right electric bike

More and more people are choosing to ditch the car and get around on a bicycle saddle with a lively battery to help them along. Have you decided to go electric?

Our concept stores in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö or our retailers can help you map your needs. To consider before buying is:

In what terrain will you be cycling?

Do you have a lot of hills or will you mostly cycle in the city or on straight stretches? Our electric bikes have either a hub motor in the front or rear wheel with Ecoride Drive Systems or a centre motor with Shimano STEPS.

How far will you cycle?

Our e-bikes' batteries have a range of 45-85 km, depending on the motor you choose. If you're cycling within 20 kilometres, the e-bike will do without charging, otherwise you can easily remove and recharge. The battery charges quickly, about 3 hours if fully discharged.

What will you use your electric bike for?

Will you be commuting to work by bike? Do you need to load grocery bags or pick up children? Or should it be able to be taken on the commuter train? We have models for all needs!

How do you treat your e-bike?

After your purchase, there are some care tips to follow to look after your e-bike and get the most out of it. In our guide, you can read more about our recommendations for longevity.
To get as many years as possible, it's important to look after and service your e-bike. Of course, how often your e-bike will need servicing varies.

Servicing an e-bike

A frequently used e-bike should be serviced every six months for major maintenance and occasionally for minor maintenance. For an e-bike that is not used as often, a professional service every 12 months is sufficient.

What to do with your e-bike

Store your e-bike safely and preferably under cover.
This will reduce wear and tear from rain and sun drying out.

Give your e-bike chain love

Use degreaser to remove old grease and oil residues, remove dirt and re-oil the chain with new oil. Between oiling the chain, it's a good idea to periodically remove dirt with a clean cloth.

The battery is the heart of the e-bike

To extend the life of the battery, it is important not to let it fully discharge. A good rule of thumb is to keep the battery charged to 60-70%.
