Ideal for those who enjoy long bike journeys, whatever the terrain, the rear-mounted electric bike stands out for its notable power, especially on slopes. Its lower center of gravity, thanks to the position of the motor, lends undeniable stability, a real plus when cornering and riding at higher speeds.

This type of motor also shines for its discretion: the quietness of its operation is a precious ally for those looking to get away from it all without noise pollution. And for the adventurous and lovers of the great outdoors, a rear-wheel electric bike offers a wider range of speeds, lending itself well to the challenges of changing terrain.

Not forgetting, a rear-wheel electric bike tends to be lighter than a mid-motor model, making it easier to handle on a daily basis. This is something to bear in mind if you plan to carry or move it around a lot.

However, you need to be careful when it comes to maintenance: such a motor can cause extra wear and tear on the chain and sprockets. Remember, too, that an open chain guard requires a certain amount of care to protect your outfit from grease stains. And in the event of a puncture, the motorized wheel can make repairs a little more complicated.

Nevertheless, these points are far from overshadowing the many qualities of such a bike. Especially when you opt for a second-hand model refurbished, where value for money is optimized.
