This page is the e-bike: battery, motor, range. Not an ordinary city bike with a sticker.
Message about this e-bikeIt starts at the battery
An e-bike is a bike with a motor and a battery thieves already know. So this story starts at the battery, not the colour. How many cycles, original charger, a lock that holds the battery in the frame. Without that the rest is marketing.
Gazelle Bosch, Sparta, Stromer
Gazelle (often Bosch), Batavus, Sparta: that is commuting in this region. Stromer if you want a speed pedelec (moped plate, helmet). Refurbished VanMoof only if the frame and the electronics check out — no shady import.
Battery locks are the day job
Opening battery locks is the day job. We know which cylinders seize after one winter and which cradle dies if you pry. We do not put that back on an e-bike you buy.
ART on the policy
Insurance: many policies demand ART 2 or 3 on an e-bike, lock through frame and a fixed object. A ring lock alone is often too light. We say what policies usually ask; check yours.
Mileage sometimes lies
Mileage sometimes lies. We look at discs, tyre tread, play in the motor mount. Too pretty for the price? Then you wait a week.
