"You can't buy happiness, but you can buy an ebike
and that's pretty close"

Hi, my name is Scott and welcome to
​love-ebikes
Scotland's premier, independent electric bicycle shop.​

We are proud to be Scotland's only Riese and Müller Experience Store

A reflection of our passion for the brand, level of stock and unparalleled service and knowledge.

Extremely positive customer feedback means we continue to open on an appointment only basis. 
Tuesday to Saturday: 10.30am, 1pm & 3.30pm.
Maximum of 3 people per appointment.
Please email, including a phone number to info@love-ebikes.co.uk or call 0141-339 8349.

Quick Note: We are aware of an ebike shortage... but not here!
We saw this coming and took measures to ensure we are fully stocked with over 50 of the best ebikes covering all 7 of our brands starting at £2450.

Our Mission Statement

"We aim not just to get our customers any ebike but the right ebike, everytime."
This is the love-ebikes guarantee.

Quite simply, we love electric bikes, all shapes and sizes. City and trekking ebikes, eMTBs and electric cargo bikes.
​We offer you a hand-picked selection of what we believe are the best-in-class electric bicycles on the market.

Our brands

 All of our brands are market leaders and we meticulously picked the very best bikes from each company, sometimes only choosing to stock one or two models due to their individual merit or specification. We then test rode each bike before choosing which ones to finally include in our range.

We believe we have the most comprehensive selection of electric bikes anywhere in the country.

When you shop at love-ebikes you will have the same point of contact every time, myself, so you don't need to hope the sales assistant you spoke to last time is working. One of the biggest differences with my shop is that I will be there every single day to give you a personal service that I believe most shops just can't offer.

​Customer service is paramount. Knowledgeable, friendly, personal customer service. Listening to what your individual needs are, discussing these with you, then making recommendations based on what we've learnt. Once we have narrowed down the selection, you can try some potentially suitable bikes for a test ride, and that's when the fun really starts.

We will take you out on a one-to-one demo ride and you'll see how great they are. We have nice, quiet, wide-open roads behind the shop with a good sized hill to see what they can really do. This is one of the many ways we make sure you get the right ebike not just for now, but for when you get a bit more adventurous in the future. Trust us, there is a very good chance it will happen!

​​We also stock Thule towbar bike racks and general parts and accessories to keep you and your bike safe when on and off them.

For some, riding an electric bike may seem like "cheating" but for many others it makes travelling by bike far more accessible and enables them to start incorporating more exercise into their daily routine. Electric bikes are becoming more popular and you have probably noticed them on the road yourself, but is an electric bike right for you?

The law in England, Scotland and Wales means that you do not need a licence to ride an ‘electrically assisted pedal cycle’ (also referred to as an EAPC, ebike or Pedelec). Nor do you need to register, tax or insure it – if you are over the age of 14 you can simply ride an electric bike in the same way as you would a regular push-bike. (Unfortunately in Northern Ireland this is not the case and you will need a motorcycle licence to drive any form of electric bike.)

​There are some regulations of course: your bike will only be pedal-assisted when you are travelling up to 15.5mph and have a maximum power output of 250 watts.

12 reasons to ride an electric bike
Here some excellent reasons why an electric bike might be the perfect fit for you: 

• Great designs and more variety of frames available. In the past electric bikes were seen as clunky, heavy and not very attractive for people who already ride bikes but as technology improves and batteries become smaller new designs of electric bikes are now very slick and even stylish. There are lots of different types of electric bike available on the market including mountain bikes, road bikes, step through frames, cargo bikes and even folding bikes. On average electric bikes cost more than a conventional bike, starting at around £1,500, so you may have to start saving-up to buy one, or you could try the Cycle To Work scheme if your employer offers it.
  
  
• Build confidence in your fitness and ability. If you have ever felt that you would like to cycle more but are yet to take the plunge into life on two-wheels because you’re worried about your fitness levels, having a bit of battery assistance could help you get started. An electric bike helps by giving you an extra boost as you cycle, so although you’re being electrically assisted you will still be pedalling the whole time. Therefore when riding an electric bike you burn almost as many calories as on a regular bike - which is a whole lot more than you would in a car or on a motorbike.
  
  
• Hills and wind need not be a problem. The thought of cycling uphill against the wind is probably one of the most off-putting reasons for not cycling. With an electric bike neither need to be a problem when you can tap into your electric motor as and when you need it. 
  
  
• Wear what you want while you ride. A massive benefit of not exerting as much energy while you cycle means that you won’t overheat and sweat as much as you might do on a traditional bike. This means you can dress more appropriately for prevailing weather conditions. This is a real bonus if you’re cycling to work and there are no shower facilities at the other end.
  
  
• Safer than you think. Having a little more acceleration when starting from a stopped position means that junctions and car traffic can feel a lot safer than if you were using a traditional bike. You may also find that you will be more aware of your surroundings as you won’t spend as much time head-down or standing up on your pedals in an attempt to build up speed.
  
  
• Another safety bonus is with your silent motor running you'll be more aware of the sounds around you than compared with being on a motorbike or scooter. 
  ​​
  
• Spend less time in your car. If you are an everyday commuter you may find yourself regularly sitting in traffic daydreaming about being anywhere else other than in your car. That dream can be a reality. Cycling to work is a great way to include more exercise into your daily routine. Arrive at work more alert and ready for the day.

• Enjoy cycling longer distances without getting exhausted. Being outdoors on a beautiful day can be one of the most enjoyable and relaxing experiences. One of the big draws to long distance riding is that you are able to experience more views and sights than if you were walking. With an electric bicycle you can enjoy the great outdoors without worrying about the after-effects on your legs. A short journey can turn into a mini-adventure that spans just that little bit further than you could usually attempt under your own steam. 

• Travel sustainably. Electric bikes not only have less-impact on your knees and thighs, they can also have less of an impact on the environment. If sustainability is important to you an electric bike may be a perfect alternative to driving. As you charge the battery yourself, you have complete control on how eco-friendly your bicycle is. If you’re electricity supplier is green then you are good to go!
  
  
• Perfect for shopping (carry more cargo). Cycling with a heavy load of groceries can be exhausting. With your panniers full you could be carrying quite a few extra kilograms of weight. If you plan your weekly shop with an electric bike in mind you can cycle to the shops and use your battery power on the way back - it’s more exercise than driving, so you can still earn yourself a few extra special shop-bought treats for the week.
  ​  
• Keeping pace with faster cyclists. Cycling can be a very social activity, and there are many who enjoy spending time with others whilst out on two wheels. If you are concerned that you wouldn’t be able to keep up but still want to enjoy time spent with friends or family on a bike ride then an electric bike can help you keep pace with others (and perhaps even go a little faster, if you’re the competitive type!). 
  
  
• Cheaper to run than a car or motorbike or using public transport. Although an electric bike may be more expensive than a conventional push-bike, compared to running a car the costs are minimal. If you already own a car you will be very aware that it is not the cheapest form of transport and public transport can cost between 10–30p per mile. It only costs a few pence to fully charge the battery on an electric bike and depending on your bike and battery it could take you as far a 30–90 miles.
  
  
• You can try before you buy. If you think an e-bike might be right for you there are many retailers that offer a “try before you buy” offer, so you have the opportunity to do exactly that before committing to buying the bike.
