Welcome to the Quizinator Let us ask a few questions to help you find the perfect bike.
Which one best describes your riding credo?
OK, do you want the extra power of an ebike? Pedal-assist bicycles allow you to cover more ground, faster. They still require the rider to put some effort in, but you might turn up a little less sweaty.
What best describes what you primarily want to do? Ebikes come in all sorts of flavours. To choose the right one for you reflect on the type of riding you like doing, where you ride most often, and how long your rides are
Are you looking for any extra watts? Pedal-assist bicycles allow you to cover more ground, faster. They still require the rider to put some effort in, but you might turn up a little less sweaty.
Ok, you want to go fast, on big-hitting trails, but is that for race or pleasure?
Ok, what type of racing describes your interests?
Ok, you want a big-travel bike for the biggest terrain, but let's be more specific...
What kind of riding are you looking to do?
Righto, let's drill down a little more. What are you looking for
Ok, time to get a bit more specific...is there a particular type of riding will you be doing?

Ebikes come in two strengths, pick your poison? Full-power bikes provide the most torque and power but are generally heavy due to the size of packaging and larger batteries. Mid-power ebikes have a little less thrust but this allows them to have smaller batteries, therefore lighter. But generally speaking the range is similar. Full-power bikes are great for people wanting to climb up anything or require more power for bigger efforts. Mid-power bikes are lighter and handle more like regular trail bikes.

Ok, now we're really digging into it. You could be happy on any of the next three, but what best describes your needs?

Ok, you want something efficient but let's be more specific now...Do you want to attack the climbs or the descents?
OK, do you want the extra power of an ebike? Pedal-assist bicycles allow you to cover more ground, faster. They still require the rider to put some effort in, but you might turn up to your destination a little less sweaty.
Do you know what style of bike you want?
Is there a specific kind of race-ready hardtail you're looking for? Gravel bikes aren't just toughened road bikes and they aren't just old school MTBs. They're uniquely designed to be ultra-efficient across a very wide range of surfaces. But if you're really going off-roading or hitting the singletrack most of your ride then opt for an MTB.
On your marks get set...hang on, do you want full suspension?
