About Electric Road Race

Roadies have also been treated to electrification and treated the benefit of quick get aways at traffic lights and enabling riders to zip uphills with ease.

However electric road bikes have proved not as popular as mountain bikes, as when you reach 15.5 mph the motor turns off and riders are left dragging the extra weight of the motor and batteries for 95% of the ride.

Older electric road bikes were is also less aerodynamic as the tubes are wider to accommodate the motor and batteries, but the latest models have gone a long way to remedying this.
