Move more in 2022: 11 electric bicycles for all pockets to get around the city


If this 2022 you have proposed to move more in your day to day by making the leap to the electric bicycle, in this buying guide you will find what you must take into account to make the right choice and a careful selection of models for all budgets and the city as a scenario of use. Start the year pedaling and at the best price.


Which electric bike to choose for the city

  • Design. For practicality, the most recommended formats are urban, walking, folding or trekking and any of its variants. For tastes, the colors, but if you have little space to store it or you are going to combine it with other means of transport, a folding one is better. In case you are going to go for a walk on dirt routes or paths, bet on a trekking one. If you are looking for maximum comfort, take a look at the walking ones.

  • Security elements(and other extras). Sooner or later you will surely use it at night, so it is essential that they have a white front light and a red rear light. Reflective elements are not superfluous to be seen and the bell to alert pedestrians. From here, you will surely find it very useful that it has a kickstand to stand it up, fenders to avoid splashing when the pavement is wet and a grill to transport your things.

  • Battery and autonomy. Although the theoretical autonomy figures differ considerably from the practical one, for an urban scenario, the usual and sufficient range is 50 – 70 km. Of course, also pay attention to its charging cycles and the time required, its location and whether or not it is removable.

  • In the urban models the position of the engine is usually the wheel, where there is also a motion sensor to come into action when we start pedaling, usually in the rear

Fundamental: Electric city bikes are limited to 25 km/h and must be homologated for him Ministry of Industry according to standard UNE-EN 15194:2009, being considered as Assisted Pedaling Bicycles (EPAC) those equipped with an auxiliary electric motor, with a maximum continuous rated power of 0.25 kilowatts, whose power gradually decreases and finally stops when the speed of the vehicle reaches 25 km/h, or sooner if the cyclist stops pedaling“.

In any case, remember that the EPACs “help” pedaling by lightening the effort made by your legs, but they don’t pedal for you.
