Considerations when buying an e-bike :

n you’re browsing an online bike shop in South Africa, you have to look for a bike that will work for you. To figure that out, consider the following factors:
Power
When you buy an e-bike, you have to look at the power it will provide you, while also considering the area you live in. If you live in a city with minimal hills, you’ll do just fine with a bike that offers anything between 200-350-watt motors.
Throttle
You’re going to want an e-bike with a throttle that controls power output. It’s a good addition to the power assist that you get from the e-motor. While you need to be pedaling to get the power boost from the motor, with a throttle you’re able to start up from a stop without pedaling.
