Care tips: Tyres lose pressure over time. On average, they lose 1 bar/week.

So remember to regularly pump up your tyres. Riding with under-inflated tyres reduces your battery range, requires more pedalling effort, and increases the risk of punctures. Before performing any work on your electric bike (cleaning, electrical or mechanical maintenance), you must turn off your electric bike and remove the battery.

If you are not using your bike over the winter, charge it at least every 12 months.

B'Twin Bikes

B'Twin are a popular choice of bike in the UK, partly due to their widespread distribution by Decathlon, and partly due to the value they offer. Their bikes are divided into several slightly overlapping ranges, with Triban best known for road and gravel bikes, and Rockrider gaining a reputation for high performing MTBs to suit every budget. Elops largely consist of a range of city bikes, whereas Riverside focus on hybrids. All in all, B'Twin bikes are well worth checking out given the size of their ranges; there's a model to suit most budgets.

Tilt Folding Bikes

Previously produced under the B'Twin banner, Tilt bikes are Decathlon's range of folding bikes and e-bikes, ranging from around the £200 mark for the basic model up to £1000 for the electric motor powered version.

Each member of the Tilt bikes family is designed to fold into a convenient shape for ease of transportation and storage.
