The motor’s extra power makes it easier for you to conquer hills. This is a key advantage of electric bikes. You can pedal without exertion and power assistance matches your efforts.
If you enjoy the challenge, most eBikes can be assisted significantly, which means more leg power. San Jose Turbo Specialized Bikes Dealer in San Francisco, a Santa Clara-based authorized dealer of Specialized Turbo Electric Bicycles, is located near Santa Clara. We have the largest selection of 2021 Specialized Turbo E-Bikes, as well as pre-owned inventory. Our sales, service and parts departments are staffed with friendly, experienced staff.
The majority of the eBikes that we have in stock and the best ones on the market can handle normal hills without too much difficulty. They should be avoided if they are below PS1,500, as they have weak motors and tiny batteries. Electric bikes are great for commuters and weekend workouts.
Explore each of the three main types of motors.
Crank or Mid Drive
These motors are located low on the bike’s centre, making them ideal for hill riding. They are easy to ride and provide natural, indirect power delivery.
A good example of a balanced package is the use of common motors like the Bosch Active line from the Raleigh Motus range. Performance without compromises.
Front Hub
These are located on the front wheel of folding bikes due to their small size. They are found on cheaper eBike models, and they feature heavily in eBike converter kits. They are the weakest motor type and will “pull” your bike along. Avoid hills!
Rear Hub
Although rear hub motors look very similar to Front Hub motors, there are important differences. They “push” the rear wheel and deliver more power. They are often used in Speed Pedelecs and electric bikes that have the fastest speeds.
Below are some of our customers’ favorites that are great all-rounders and can handle most daily cycling situations.
