Think carefully about what your primary purpose for the bike will be: commuting on it to work, leisure riding longer distances, or everyday leisure use. Consider price, specifications, and features you want like ABS, fuel economy, and comfort, before making your purchase.
Understanding what you want to use the bike for will help you select the best bike that adapts to your needs. If it is a bike you want to ride to commute daily, you will want a reliable bike that has good fuel economy. If the bike is to be used for long distance touring or off-roading, you may want a bike that has better power and durability.
Some of the features to consider, which would be important for a bike include ABS (anti-lock braking system), odometer, fuel gauge, speedometer, and trip odometer. These features improve the function of the bike, help with safety and improve the overall experience of riding.
Essential specifications to focus on when selecting a bike include mileage (EPA), type of engine (250, 500, etc), setting a maximum torque, type of braking system in the bike (single disc, dual or hydraulic), and top speed of the vehicle. They help define how the bike performs and if it will meet the user's needs.
Features indicate functionality, features could be ABS or the bike's digital odometer. Specifications relate to performance expectations of the bike, such as engine or fuel mileage. Both features and specifications are equally important, depending on whether comfort and safety are more important than performance.
Bikes can be classified in several different ways, scooters, cruiser bikes, sports bikes, dirt bikes, classic bikes, and street. The bike you choose will depend on your riding style and intended use.
If you need a bike that can commute through the city, you can consider a scooter or street bike. If you are looking to take long highway rides, you could consider a cruiser bike. If you are a sport enthusiast, a sport bike is well-suited. For some fun delving into trails and roads less traveled, you should look into dirt bikes.
E-bikes, or electric bicycles, are gaining more and more attention due to their friendly carbon footprint and cost saving implications. If you are looking to stay green and have low-tosh on a daily driver, an e-bike would probably be the best option.
