If you are looking for an e-bike to accompany you on your day-to-day life, a folding electric bike could be the bike for you because it's transportable and easy to store. If you plan to ride on country roads, then an electric hybrid bike would be the better choice. If you're looking for more adventure and plan on taking your bike off-roading and into sand, mud and snow, then the electric mountain bike (EMB) would be the bike for you. All of these choices are available in our selection of used electric bikes under €1,000, refurbished to be just like new.

In regards to the battery, the most common voltage is 36 V, while the capacity can vary from 8 Ah to 16 Ah. For the longest lasting endurance, choose a battery with a high wattage per hour (ideally between 400 Wh and 500 Wh). Nowadays, most e-bike batteries can be removed for easier charging. To make things easier, some brands allow you to use the same key for the frame lock and the battery. At Upway, we recondition or replace the battery completely on all our used electric bikes.

A lot of EAB users tend to forget to check the braking system of their electric bicycle, though it is of the utmost importance that the brakes be powerful enough to slow down or stop the bike effectively. Disc brakes are currently the most widespread in the world because of their reliability, while also being ergonomic and progressive. 

Belgian regulations limit the power and speed of electric bikes to 250 watts and 25 km/h respectively. All our reconditioned EABs comply with these legal requirements. 

The last thing to consider is which type of electric assist you'll require. There are two types: effort sensor (the motor activates when you pedal) or rotation sensor (it adapts the power of the motor to the force you exert on the pedals). You'll find both types of assistance on our best electric bikes under €1,000, although the rotation sensor is the most common because of its low cost.
