KALKHOFF: THE BEST ELECTRIC BIKES AROUND

If you’re looking for the best electric bike in 2019, take your pick from these Kalkhoff e-bikes. But why are we such big fans? Here are three reasons:

BEST QUALITY:

They use some of the best components and latest technology available, which is all rigorously tested during and after manufacturing. Due to this maintenance tends to be very straightforward and customer satisfaction is high. Their bikes have even won the prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design. Buy a cheap electric bike and you’ll not have to search hard to find someone who complains of broken components, power drop-outs, handling issues and many a more thing that can go wrong with an electric bike.

CHOICE OF STYLE:

There are electric hybrid bikes (also know as city or commuting e-bikes) for every style of riding. Kalkhoff offer a range of styles for all the bikes we mention below. Most electric bikes come as a unisex frame but you can still find women's or men's electric bikes for sale. The standard model uses a frame geometry you’re probably most used to seeing. A women’s model usually has a shorter reach (bringing the handlebar closer) and a lower standover height so make it a bit easier to mount/dismount. Kalkhoff make some of the best step through electric bikes UK has a completely dropped top tube to make it much easier to mount and dismount: ideal if you want convenience, tend to write in non-cycling clothes (such as business wear) or have an injury.

READY TO RIDE:

The cost of a Kalkhoff might be a little more than other brands on the market but add in all those components which are usually extra and you’ll probably find you’re getting a lot more bike for your money. And never mind the convenience of not having buy and fit them.
