In today’s digital age, the convenience of online shopping is undeniable. However, when it comes to purchasing an ebike, this convenience can quickly turn into a headache.
The biggest disadvantages of buying an ebike online is the inability to test ride before purchase. Without a test ride, you can’t be sure it is comfortable.
Service – Unlike a bike, local ebike stores only service the ebikes they sell. Find a local repair service before you consider purchasing an ebike online

Pricing – Many people think that by ordering a bike on-line they are saving money. Most ebike shops will match on-line pricing for the brands they carry.
Quality The easiest way to reduce the price on an electric bike is to reduce the quality of the bike components. Check out both the retailer’s and the bike manufacture’s customer ratings.
