Tern’s new Quick Haul Long electric cargo bike shows it’s not the size that matters

Are you considering purchasing an electric bike? Here are 10 essential things to know before making a decision: 1. **Speed and power**: Electric bikes come in various speeds, from leisurely 20km/h to high-performance 45km/h models. Consider your riding style and local laws. 2. **Battery life**: Understand how far you can ride on a single charge (typically 25-100 km), and whether the battery is removable or not. 3. **Motor type**: Choose between hub-drive, mid-drive, or rear-drive motors based on terrain, comfort, and power delivery. 4. **Gearing and modes**: Select an e-bike with multiple modes (e.g., pure electric, pedal-assist, or throttle-only) for varying riding styles and terrain. 5. **Weight and portability**: Consider the weight and foldability of your e-bike, as well as storage options like kickstands or racks. 6. **Safety features**: Look for e-bikes with built-in lights, reflectors, and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) for enhanced safety. 7. **Braking systems**: Understand how brakes are controlled on your e-bike – some models use regenerative braking to recharge the battery. 8. **Suspension and comfort**: Ensure your e-bike has adequate suspension and ergonomic design for a comfortable ride, especially if you’ll be riding long distances. 9. **Maintenance requirements**: Familiarize yourself with any specific maintenance needs for your e-bike’s motor, brakes, or other components. 10. **Warranty and support**: Research the manufacturer’s warranty, customer service, and online resources in case of issues or questions.
