Be cautious of so-called independent reviews! You can trust our independent advice because we don’t sell bikes or accessories, just our magazine A to B, and a few books on transport subjects.
Power-assisted bikes and kits have featured strongly in A to B magazine since the mid-1990s, when most of today’s retailers were selling frozen peas, so we do know a bit about it. Back then, electric bicycles were very new technology.
Unfortunately we have had to drop our ‘Buyer’s Guide’ because there are now thousands of brands, but relatively few power kits, making a choice of our top five a bit of a pointless exercise. It has, however, been replaced with the much more specific ‘Brompton Buyer’s Guide’, and we have a huge archive of more general information, covering price guides for electric bicycles, tricycles and power-assist kits, plus buyer’s guides and a lot of back ground information. If you’re deciding which electric bicycle to buy, or just looking into the subject, these pages will be useful:
