UK launch: Electric Bike Action

Electric Bike Action, a US magazine dedicated to the new trend of electric bikes, has its UK newsstand launch on 2 January. The title is priced at £3.99.

According to distributors COMAG: Rapidly growing in popularity around the world, electric bicycles (‘e-bikes’) are essentially normal bikes that have been adapted or manufactured to incorporate an electric motor to help the rider.

Whether for recreational use, weekday commuting, to help with shopping, converts to ‘e-bikes’ are also drawn to the technological and environmental aspects of this mode of travelling.

Published by the editorial team behind titles such as, Mountain Bike Action Usa, Road Bike Action Magazine and Dirt Bike, Electric Bike Action is produced by an experienced and knowledgeable group of cycling and motorcycling enthusiasts.

Technological improvements in the manufacture of electric motors, batteries and even the construction of the bicycles themselves has led to the prices of ‘e-bikes’ plummeting in recent years, making them not only cheaper to buy, but also more affordable to power and maintain.

These advances have led to a new breed of e-bikes that are lighter, more streamlined and more robust than previous bicycles, making them more practical for sport and leisure cyclists.

Looking at the different types of e-bikes, whether for commuting, recreation or sport, every issue of Electric Bike Action will provide information for new and experienced users about choosing the right bike; explore the health benefits of each, as well as environmental issues.

With the latest news about battery, pedal and throttle technology, the Feb-14 issue of Electric Bike Action will look at the best on the bike to site a motor for different uses.

As well as this, the UK launch issue of Electric Bike Action has road tests of a number of e-bikes, compares the Easy Motion Neo Jumper dirt bike to the Specialised Turbo road bike, along with all the news and tech reviews for people interested in learning about e-bikes.
