Electric Hybrid Bikes

An electric hybrid bike combines the versatility of a traditional hybrid with the assistance of an electric motor, making it well suited to commuting, fitness riding, and mixed-surface travel. Unlike electric mountain bikes or road e-bikes, hybrid e-bikes prioritise comfort and practicality for everyday use rather than performance in extreme conditions.

Consider the distance of your daily commute and whether you need a longer battery range or a lighter bike for shorter trips. Also think about storage, rack compatibility, and whether the bike has features like integrated lights or mudguards that make commuting more practical.

Electric hybrid bikes are a great option for fitness because you can adjust the level of pedal assistance to match your effort level. Riders can choose to use minimal assistance for a harder workout or increase support on longer rides or hilly routes, making them flexible for a range of fitness goals.

Battery range varies depending on the motor system, assistance level, rider weight, and terrain. Most electric hybrid bikes offer enough range for typical commutes and leisure rides, but if you regularly cover longer distances, look for a model with a higher capacity battery or one that supports a secondary battery.

Electric hybrid bikes are designed for mixed-surface riding, handling sealed roads, bike paths, and light gravel comfortably. They are not built for technical off-road trails, but they perform well on the kinds of varied surfaces most everyday riders encounter.

Sizing for electric hybrid bikes follows similar principles to standard hybrid bikes, with frame size typically based on your height and inseam length. It is worth visiting a 99 Bikes store for a fit check or using our online size calculator, as getting the right frame size then adjusting saddle height and handlebar position will make a significant difference to comfort and control on longer rides.

Finding the right bike size can feel tricky, as different bike types have slightly different geometries. To make it easier, we’ve created a Find Your Size tool. Simply enter your height and inseam measurements (or those of the person you’re shopping for), and we’ll recommend the best size for each bike and pre-select the recommended option for you.

Not sure of your inseam measurement? No worries! We provide an estimated inseam measurement based on your height to help keep your recommendation as accurate as possible.

You can find the tool on each product page or at the top of categories when browsing. Try Find Your Size.
