Whether it’s cargo bikes or step-thru folders, the e-bike community is buzzing with excitement over the latest models and all the various specs they have to offer. Naturally, it can be challenging to pick an electric bike that is the perfect fit for you and you have to consider several factors when buying one, such as battery life, price, performance, etc. Keep reading as we explore a detailed guide on the top electric bike models available in the UK in 2024. 

Criteria for Selection

When it comes to choosing the best electric bike for yourself, you have to ensure all your cycling requirements are being met for a comfortable and enjoyable ride at all times:

• Price: It’s crucial to understand what each price bracket of e-bikes has to offer, no matter whether you’re looking for a high-end or entry-level frame. This helps riders make an informed decision to find the best value for money. 
• Performance: A pedelec’s performance determines how well the vehicle can handle various speeds and terrains, affecting overall ride quality. We recommend examining the bike’s speed, motor power, and handling capabilities before you purchase it.  
• Battery Life: Battery life is essential for long-distance riders and daily commuters alike since it determines how far you can travel on a single charge. Ask your preferred brand the range you can expect on a single charge along with the time taken to recharge the battery. 
• Design and Features: The frame design, the weight of the bike, and the technological advancements incorporated into each model should be assessed to find the perfect fit for yourself. Everything from the electric bike’s ergonomics to the integration of smart features like GPS tracking and Bluetooth connectivity enhance the riding experience.

Users Feedback

If you’re still not convinced, see for yourself what our customers have to say about their E-Movement purchases and e-cycling experiences with our bikes:

“What can I say. This company puts most companies I've ever dealt with to shame. Their customer service is impeccable and they go out of their way to ensure you have an amazing experience, even after the 9-5 phone lines close!

I received my Thunder and absolutely love it, extremely high-quality bike for a low price! The look, ride, build and technology is fantastic. I look forward to many more purchases with this company and would highly recommend them if you are in the market for a e-bike. Keep up the amazing work guys.”

“I cannot praise this company highly enough. I bought a bike from E-Movement and although I fell in love with it and used it for a short time I realised it was a bit more than I could manage at my age, mostly because of its size and weight. One email to them and they suggested a swap for a similar but more suitable model - a quick visit to Woking and it was sorted.”

“Firstly the communication and advice I received from the team was outstanding. Gave me good advice and answered all the questions I had which gave me the confidence to order. The bike came fully assembled and only took 3 working days which again showed outstanding service. The bike feels great, the peddle assist is incredible and it looks amazing. Very very satisfied , thank you for your service.”

“I bought my bike 2 years ago and I love it,I have had a upgrade lately and the guys there were top notch they have always dealt with anything I needed I recommend the panther bike it’s brilliant”
