From skipping traffic jams to getting off the beaten track, cycling offers up a whole world of possibilities. And with an e-bike, it's never been easier to live life on two wheels.

In the last few years, e-bikes have revolutionised the world of cycling. With a lightweight frame and a super-quiet motor, these nifty hybrid e-bikes turn those long, leg-burning journeys into chilled-out rides—meaning more people than ever before have been hopping on the saddle.

So, here's our question—what could an e-bike mean to you?

Whether it's beating the traffic jams, livening up your commute or exploring on the weekends, here are some of the best things about electric bikes.

A WORKOUT—BUT ONLY WHEN YOU WANT IT TO BE

If you're brand new to cycling, want to build up some healthier habits, or you just need a little extra help with the hills, e-bikes are an easy way to get some more exercise into your daily routine. With full control over your pedal assistance, you can make your ride as hard or as easy as you want it to be. Switch off the motor while you're riding along the flat, and dial up the assistance when you're battling those seriously steep hills.

DO YOUR BIT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Hybrid e-bikes aren't just great for you—they're also good for the planet. Unlike cars, buses and trains, electric bikes don't produce any harmful emissions—making them the best transport choice for the environment (along with normal bikes). So if you don't fancy the legwork of a regular bike, an electric bike is a brilliant way to reduce your carbon footprint.

GET OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

Whether you're someone who likes to hit the trail on the weekends or you prefer to take long, lazy rides along the river, e-bikes are the perfect way to get off the beaten track. With a grippy tread and a lightweight frame, electric hybrid bikes are designed to take you from tarmac to trail—and back again. Spend some time discovering all the best trails near you, or head down to the beach and ride along the promenade on super sunny days. With an e-bike battery that can take you dozens of miles on a single charge, the possibilities for adventure are limitless.

And the options don't end there. With our range of electric folding bikes, you can stash your bike in the boot and bring it along for the ride. Staycation in Cornwall? Weekend trip to the Peaks? Take your wheels with you.

So—where are you going to go first?
