Hello and welcome to Electric Week on off.road.cc, a seven-day feast of e-MTB tech and the culture accompanying it. Over the next week, we’ll bring you a collection of e-bike-specific content to ensure you’re up to speed with all the electric trends, bikes, motors and batteries, as well as answer all the questions you’re afraid to ask – we’ve got you covered on all fronts.

Our team of experts comprising Liam Mercer, Lance Branquinho and Aaron Borrill, have been working hard behind the scenes, carefully curating an electric-flavoured programme to educate our new readers and entertain our regulars. To that end, we’ve got some special pieces planned for the week.

I’m not going to give everything away right now because there’s some really interesting stuff coming but things kick off with the pertinent question: “How much does an e-bike cost to maintain longer term?” Here, we cover all the details and separate fact from fiction.

We’ve got a special feature on the “Anatomy of an e-MTB,” and an educational piece on “How to wash your e-bike.” There's also a deep dive on ways to prevent battery damage and fires in our halo feature titled, “How to store an e-MTB – storage, charging and maintenance hacks.”

Of course, you can also expect a plethora of reviews and news stories covering the latest electric mountain bike releases. And for anyone interested in investing in an e-bike of their own, we'll be publishing some buying guides and roundups covering the best e-MTBs not to mention highlighting what to look for/avoid before making a purchase.

Once each story is published, it will be listed below so you can navigate the entire week effortlessly without hiccups. Lastly, we would like to hear from you. This won’t be the last themed week we cover here at off.road.cc, so if you have any questions, ideas or suggestions – either for Electric Week or a future week – please drop us an e-mail at info@off-road.cc.

We look forward to hearing from you.
