Beyond the financial and practical element, the question of 'is it worth it' will also depend on the amount of use you get out of it. E-bikes can be incredibly motivating and enjoyable and if converting your standard bike to electric helps you to ditch the car on a regular basis, then the answer becomes clear.

The most simple options are the friction-drive kits, such as the Rubbee X, which place a roller onto your rear tyre. In the example of the Rubbee, you simply need to mount the device onto your seat post, with the roller placed against the tyre. However, more complex systems require the removal of drivetrain components and wheels, and the installation of wiring. These are far from impossible, but they may require some tools and a bit of patience. How much does an electric bike conversion kit cost? When you are ready to use the motor, press the button at the top of the unit and lift it a bit. The catch releases and allows a hydraulic actuator, and gravity, to push the whole unit against the rear wheel. The actual interface is a rubberised wheel with a concave cavity in the middle. In the world of electric bikes, there are a lot of brands you may not have ever heard of. There's been a boom going on for a while, so new brands are popping up all the time. Not only that but Europe, and especially the US, are playing catch up to the trend of electric bikes. You will probably stumble across a lot of unfamiliar brand names.This rubberized wheel pushes against the bikes rear wheel and provides power. It makes noise and it makes even more noise when it's wet. (Image credit: Josh Ross) Once that's done, we do the real-world testing, judging the range, the ease of use and the durability of the product in question.

If you want a monetary answer to this question, then there are ways to work out whether the investment is worth it. Take a moment to think about your current car usage and work out the cost per day/mile, including fuel, parking and running costs. Try to work out how many journeys, days or miles you will use the bike for after it is converted. Once you know this, you should be able to work out the reduction in car running costs per mile/day and, with that, you should be able to work out how many miles/days it will take for the electric bike conversion kit to pay for itself. Should I just buy an electric bike instead?

The Rubbee just didn’t feel very satisfying, it doesn’t offer a whole lot of power and isn’t capable of going very fast by American standards
