What e-bike are you riding?
I've been involved with e-bikes for around 10 years now and have ridden and tested a lot of different bikes in that time, but I'm always interested to hear what other people are riding.
So, let's get the introductions started.
What e-bike are you currently riding, and how are you getting on with it?
It doesn't matter whether it's a £500 folding e-bike, a high-end Bosch-powered machine, a conversion you've built yourself or something you've owned for years.
Tell us a bit about it. How long have you owned it? What do you mainly use it for? How many miles have you covered? And has it been reliable?
Feel free to add a photo as well.
I'll start. I've ridden everything from budget hub-motor e-bikes through to premium mid-drive bikes over the years, and I'll add a few of my current favourites below.
I'm currently riding this 2026 Moustache Dimanche 28 Urban. I've been lent it to test for an online review, and it's a great all-rounder - fairly lightweight at 20.5 kg, with a Bosch SX motor and a 400Wh battery. Great fun to ride, nippy around town and surprisingly competent on gravel. The photos were taken on a recent off-road ride on Bodmin Moor.
The Fiido C21 Pro was another bike I really enjoyed riding. It's a lightweight, sporty e-bike that feels much more like a conventional bike than many budget e-bikes, and I found it particularly good fun on the lanes and gravel tracks around Cornwall.
This Vitus Mach 1 Seven was a bit different. I bought the bike new and converted it using a Bafang hub motor and 540Wh battery. The whole build cost me £681, including the brand-new donor bike and conversion kit. I covered several hundred trouble-free miles on it before selling it on, and it just goes to show that an e-bike conversion done properly can be every bit as practical and enjoyable as a factory-built e-bike.
