E-BIKE BUYER’S GUIDE

START WITH THE RIDE.
THEN CHOOSE THE POWER.

An e-bike is still a bike. Fit, comfort, handling and purpose come first; the motor and battery should support the way you want to ride.

Battery capacity tells you how much energy is stored. Torque tells you how strongly the motor can help. Neither number works alone weight, terrain, tyres, gearing and riding mode all shape the experience.

E-BIKE.

Five different jobs, five different answers. The figures below are useful typical ranges, not rules.

01
URBAN / HYBRID

EVERYDAY RIDING.
MADE EASIER.

Comfortable, practical and quick through town. Urban hybrids work brilliantly for commuting, shopping, fitness and regular trips to the coast.

BATTERYTypically 400–800 Wh
TORQUETypically 40–75 Nm
FRAMESTraditional, mid or low step through

ATLAS EXAMPLE

ESTARLI E28.9

Light, agile and properly useful, with an easy riding position and carrying capacity for town or a weekend run to the beach.

Look for mudguards, dependable lights, a rack and a frame that is easy to mount when the bike is loaded.

02
ADVENTURE / TREKKING

GO FURTHER.
BRING MORE.

Built for on and off road journeys with stable handling, wider tyres, lower gears and mounts for racks, guards, bottles and bags.

BATTERYTypically 400–800 Wh
TORQUETypically 50–85 Nm
BEST FORTouring, lanes, towpaths & luggage

ATLAS EXAMPLE

GIANT EXPLORE E+

A confident trekking platform with the comfort, range and carrying options needed for bigger everyday and weekend miles.

Prioritise ride position, battery access, tyre clearance and how the bike handles with loaded panniers.

03
E-MTB / HARDTAIL

SIMPLE. TOUGH.
TRAIL READY.

A suspension fork up front and a rigid rear keeps cost, weight and maintenance down while adding grip and confidence on forest trails.

BATTERYTypically 400–800 Wh
TORQUETypically 55–85 Nm
TRAVELUsually 100–130 mm

ATLAS MATCH

GIANT FATHOM E+

A strong first e-MTB choice for trail centres, bridleways, forest tracks and riders who value simplicity.

Hardtails feel direct and efficient, but the rear wheel needs more careful line choice on rough, fast terrain.

04
E-MTB / FULL SUSPENSION

MORE CONTROL.
MORE TRAIL.

Rear suspension adds grip, comfort and control. Choose travel and geometry around your terrain—not simply the biggest numbers.

BATTERYTypically 625–1000 Wh
TORQUETypically 75–130 Nm
TRAVELRoughly 120–180 mm

ATLAS EXAMPLE

NORCO SIGHT VLT

A properly capable trail e-bike with balanced handling for technical climbs, rough descents and bigger days in the hills.

Extra motor power can amplify mistakes. Good geometry, suspension setup, brakes and tyres matter more than a headline torque figure.

05
E-ROAD / E-GRAVEL

LIGHT ASSIST.
BIG MILES.

Subtle assistance keeps the bike feeling natural while helping on climbs, into headwinds or when the group pace rises.

BATTERYTypically 250–750 Wh
TORQUETypically 40–120 Nm
PRIORITYLow weight & natural handling

ROAD OR GRAVEL?

CHOOSE THE TYRES FIRST

E-road favours speed on tarmac. E-gravel adds tyre clearance, lower gearing, stability and mounts for mixed-surface adventures.

A smaller battery can be the right choice when it keeps the bike light, lively and easy to pedal beyond assistance.

02 / BATTERY + MOTOR

UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SYSTEM.

A bigger figure is not automatically better. The best system balances assistance, weight, range and the character of the bike.

01 / WH

BATTERY CAPACITY.

Watt-hours measure stored energy. Around 250–400 Wh suits lighter systems; 400–625 Wh covers many everyday rides; 625–800+ Wh supports longer or harder days.

02 / NM

MOTOR TORQUE.

Newton-metres describe turning force. Roughly 35–50 Nm feels light and natural, 50–75 Nm suits town and trekking, while 75–130 Nm is useful on steep trails and heavy bikes.

03 / DRIVE

CRANK OR HUB MOTOR?

Crank drive uses the bike's gears and feels balanced on hills. Hub motors can be lighter, simpler and excellent for flatter urban or performance-focused bikes.

04 / RANGE

REAL-WORLD MILES.

Rider weight, climbing, temperature, tyre pressure, luggage and assistance mode all change range. Plan around your hardest regular ride, not a perfect-condition claim.

ATLAS TAKEAWAY

Choose the complete bike and support package—not the largest battery or highest torque number.

03 / FRAME SHAPES

THE RIGHT WAY
TO GET ON.

Frame shape changes access, stiffness, storage and confidence. There is no lesser option—only the shape that works best for your body and journey.

01

HIGH-STEP

Traditional diamond-frame shape.

A full top tube creates a stiff, direct chassis and plenty of room for bottles or a frame bag.

BEST FORSportier riding & rough terrain
Requires more clearance when mounting and stopping.
02

MID-STEP

Lower access without losing a familiar shape.

A sloping or dropped top tube makes getting on easier while keeping a balanced, versatile frame layout.

BEST FORHybrid & trekking use
A strong middle ground for mixed journeys.
03

STEP-THROUGH

Easy access at every stop.

Ideal for limited mobility, normal clothes, frequent town stops or anyone who simply prefers an easier way onto the bike.

BEST FORUrban, comfort & loaded riding
Modern designs can be impressively stiff and stable.
04

LONGTAIL / CARGO

A longer frame built around carrying.

Extra length creates space for children, shopping or work equipment, usually paired with strong brakes and electric assistance.

BEST FORFamily & utility journeys
Check payload, stand stability and home storage.
FRAME MATERIAL

Most practical e-bikes use aluminium for strength and value. Carbon appears on performance road and e-MTB models where lower weight and tuned stiffness matter.

04 / E-MTB HANDLING

MATCH THE TRAVEL
TO THE TRAIL.

Motor power gets attention, but geometry, suspension, brakes, tyres and weight placement decide whether an e-MTB feels calm, playful or hard work.

TRAVEL

CONTROL, NOT STATUS

Shorter travel pedals efficiently and feels lively. More travel adds control on rough descents but brings weight and a calmer response.

WHEELS

29 OR MULLET

29-inch wheels roll smoothly and carry speed. A smaller rear wheel can add clearance and agility on steeper, more technical trails.

WEIGHT

WHERE IT SITS

A low, central motor and battery create predictable handling. A lighter bike changes direction more easily and is simpler to lift or transport.

SETUP

TUNE FOR THE RIDER

Correct suspension pressure, rebound, tyre pressure and brake reach transform control more than another ten newton-metres.

Bosch-certified e-bike diagnostics at Atlas Service Works
05 / BOSCH CERTIFIED

DIAGNOSED.
UPDATED.
LOOKED AFTER.

An e-bike is a complete electrical and mechanical system. Atlas Service Works is Bosch certified, with trained technicians and Bosch diagnostic capability in our Bridport workshop.

We can read supported-system fault information, check system components, apply available software updates and combine the diagnostic work with proper brake, drivetrain, wheel and suspension servicing.

06 / E-BIKE MAINTENANCE

SMALL CHECKS.
LONGER LIFE.

01
BEFORE YOU RIDE

Check tyre pressure, brakes, battery security and visible wiring. E-bikes are heavier and can wear soft tyres and brake pads faster.

02
KEEP THE DRIVETRAIN CLEAN

Motor assistance puts extra load through chains, cassettes and chainrings. Clean regularly, lubricate correctly and replace worn parts before they damage the rest.

03
AFTER WET OR MUDDY RIDES

Use gentle water and a soft brush—never blast bearings, seals, motor areas or electrical connections with a pressure washer. Dry and relubricate afterwards.

04
LOOK AFTER THE BATTERY

Use the correct charger, keep the battery dry, avoid leaving it completely empty and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for temperature and longer-term storage.

05
BOOK REGULAR SERVICE + DIAGNOSTICS

Mechanical servicing keeps the bike safe; diagnostic checks help identify system faults and available updates before they become bigger problems.
