If you like biking but not always to pedal, an electric bike could become your best friend!

One of the first electric vehicles to hit the main stream the E-Bike, already popular in many countries around the world, is just beginning to make and impact in North America. Its popularity has been growing rapidly as we become more environmentally conscious and as the price of gas and vehicle insurance seems to perpetually increase. North Americans are now looking for alternative transportation solutions that are both environmentally responsible and efficient. But there are many more reasons to own an electric bike. Aware of this fact we started looking at E-Bikes some time ago and we realized that though they are a good idea all E -Bikes are not created equal.

We started testing various bikes as they arrived on the market and there were many that fell short of our expectations. We have scoured the planet to select the best available to bring to them to you. What you see here are simple, well built, robust E-Bikes that represent the cream of the crop. Each one had to earn its way into our hearts and onto this web site.

These are simple and elegant personal transportation solutions that are very practical for today's world.

With is strong 400 or 500 watts motor they allows you to extend your distance compared to a normal bike. They can replace the bus, the metro and even your car for distance that could not be possible with your bike.

Easy to own and maintain all our E-Bikes can be purchased online or from one of our field representatives and shipped right to your door.

Whats New!
Merida Power Cycle - 500 Gets Top Marks on Value! A new e-bike just got top marks on value in our test center.

Merida is a new brand on the market and first impressions make clear the fact that Merida has checked the products of their competitors carefully, and their construction solutions are a few steps ahead.

The first recharging of the battery gives us an immediately sign that there's something special. The battery and charger are provided with their own ventilators. The electric part of the bike is exemplary, with detector and motor working perfectly. Switching on the switch gives a 'peep' sound. and the indicator shows the current condition of the battery.A small delay in starting the battery is a good idea. The start of any ride is the heaviest phase, and by doing it yourself, the battery saves a lot of energy. The durability of this battery in particular is amazing, with almost 60 km exceeding our wildest expectations.Merida was also provides the best equipment: the carriage has support shafts for side bags, a basket in the front, adjustable stem and comfortable suspension seat post.

The Merida is nice and stable to ride, but a few more centimeters between axles would be appreciated.The Powercycle provides environmentally friendly power assisted transport, taking the effort out of cycling, and putting the fun back in regardless of your age! Hidden inside is the unique smart technology. It instantly calculates the pressure you put on the pedals and gives you twice the power to get you started up to 5 m.p.h, and then eases back to equal your power through to 15 m.p.h There is now even a fully powered option, which will power you along with no effort at all!

Merida are continually developing the bike, working with leading Japanese electronics companies and European stylists.Making the bike is the easy bit, Merida make 1,200,000 top end bikes per year for some of the best brands in the world.The electronics are the key to success. Merida acquired a specialist battery manufacturer to develop the best possible technology. The Powercycle now has an optional Nickel Metal Hydride battery, similar to the technology used in mobile phones.

The independent Finnish magazine Tekniikan Maailma (Technique World) did an indepth examination of the four leading electric bikes. This bike was the winner.

The Merida -500 also won Green Works Best Value Award.

When Eco Wheels test center got our hands on one to test we were equally impressed and awarded a rare Five Star rating to this bike.
