I want to buy a new e-bike for next season but I don’t know if I should wait. When do you think is the best time to buy an e-bike?

Bicycles and e-bikes, like clothes, are subject to fashion trends. As bikes tend to get cheaper towards the end of the season, space is created in the warehouse for the new collection. The best time to buy a bike is usually autumn. It can also be said that last year’s models were cheaper than current models. This is despite the fact that they are technically completely new bikes. It is therefore worth asking about such examples.

Pay attention to battery warranty

The situation is slightly different for show models and used vehicles. These are offered by manufacturers, homeowners and also many specialist retailers. The important thing, besides the discounted price, is that the e-bike is still in good condition and has a warranty. This should also include the battery, since at 500 to 1000 francs the battery is usually the most expensive spare part on an e-bike. Having to replace this will soon cost more than the savings made on purchasing the bike.
