How to measure for an e-bike

Size is one of the most important factors when buying a new bike. With a bike that’s too large, you’ll be overstretched and uncomfortable. At the other end of the scale, a bike that’s too small will leave you feeling cramped which can make a bike difficult to control.

Luckily, finding the right e-bike size is easy and we’ve provided the below table to help. Before using this table, you’ll need the following measurements:

  • height in metres or feet

How do I measure my height?

To gain an accurate measurement of your height, stand up straight against a wall with your shoes off and use a pencil to mark just above your head. Then use a tape measure from the floor up to your mark – it’s much easier if a friend helps you with this.

Do e-bike sizes vary between brands?

Yes, electric bike sizes can vary according to the manufacturer. You can use the below table to find the most suitable e-bike size. If you find yourself in-between bike sizes, that means both sizes should be suitable, but we’d recommend testing them both in person to see which one feels more comfortable.

Some electric bike brands use inches and cm when displaying bike sizes, while some use small/medium/large sizing. As a result, this is only a general guide to frame sizes, so be sure to check your manufacturer’s own size guide before making a purchase.
