Ultimate Guide to Tenways Electric Bikes in Ireland: Models, Benefits, and Cycle to Work Scheme

What Are E-Bikes?

While traditional bikes have been loved for decades, e-bikes are a more recent and exciting development in the cycling world. Simply put, e-bikes (or electric bikes) combine the classic cycling experience with the power of a battery-powered motor. This motor assists your pedalling, allowing you to ride with less physical effort, especially on hills or long distances. As their popularity continues to grow, especially across Europe, more people in Ireland are starting to take notice of the convenience and fun e-bikes offer.
