E-Bikes for Beginners
E-Bikes for Beginners is based on my experiences of learning about e-bikes and purchasing my e- bike.
Like most people who are new to e-bikes I found things bit confusing at first. This is especially true these days when there are so many e-bikes available on the market.
Absolute beginners firstly need to narrow down the choice to suit their type of cycling. This can be commuting, cycling to the shops, leisure cycling, cycle touring, mountain biking, etc.
Then they need to select the type of bike and the electrical system that best suits their needs.
Having gone through this process myself I have detailed some of my thoughts on e-bikes and the various steps that I took to eventually select and purchase my e-bike.
Each persons approach, of course, will be different depending on their needs and their level of knowledge. However, I hope that my experiences will be of some use in assisting the decision making.
I have detailed my thoughts and experiences over three pages, as outlined below.

Like other beginners I went through a learning curve when purchasing my e-bike.
I went online and read many articles about e-bikes. I visited bike shops that sold e-bikes.
I then prepared a spreadsheet to help me in my decision making.
This page details the various steps I took in this process.
