Types of Bikes

There are several different types of bikes available, each designed for specific purposes and terrains. Here are some common types of bikes:

 

  • Road Bikes: These bikes are designed for use on paved roads and are typically lightweight with thin tyres and drop handlebars.

  • Mountain Bikes: These bikes are designed for off-road use and have wide, knobby tyres, suspension systems, and flat handlebars.

  • Hybrid Bikes: As the name suggests, these bikes are a mix between road and mountain bikes and are suitable for a variety of terrains.

  • Touring Bikes: These bikes are designed for long-distance cycling and are built to handle heavy loads.

  • Cyclocross Bikes: These bikes are designed for racing on a mixed terrain course that includes both pavement and off-road sections.

  • Electric Bikes: These bikes are equipped with a battery-powered motor to assist with pedalling and can be used for commuting or recreational purposes.

  • Folding Bikes: These bikes are designed to be compact and portable, making them ideal for commuters or those with limited storage space.

  • BMX Bikes: These bikes are designed for stunt riding and racing on a closed course.

  • Cruiser Bikes: These bikes are designed for casual riding and are often seen on boardwalks or beach paths. They have wide tyres, a comfortable seat, and a relaxed riding position.

  • Tandem Bikes: These bikes are designed for two riders and feature two sets of pedals and a longer frame.

  • Tricycles: Tricycles or Trikes are bicycles with 3 wheels.
