You may have come to this page because you are interested to find out whether it makes sense to invest in an electric bike or just being curious about what you can do with it or where you can find information about it. So, you are in the right place. We have looked for interesting places on internet where you can find all kinds of info for total beginners, or where you can get inspired about how far you can push your e-bike.
However, if you want to find out whether you want to go for e-biking, the best way is to rent an e-bike for a day or two and do some riding. We found the best place to be depo33 in Senohraby, a small bike shop, where you can experience really good customer care. The shop is directly at the railroad station Senohraby. So, it is very simple to get there from Prague, rent an e-bike and test it on nice bike routes along Sázava river. If you decide to buy, they will subtract the rental cost form the bike price…
So, lets start with the economy of bike ownership. Here is the simple Excel spreadsheet which can tell you whether you should own or rent an E-bike. Just click on the link or the picture below and download the spreadsheet to your computer. (Magically, it works with any currency and with km or miles!)
