Compare your shortlist before ordering

Two similarly priced e-bikes can suit very different journeys. Compare battery watt-hours, assistance system, gearing, total weight, frame geometry and practical equipment. Allow a range reserve for hills, wind, cold weather and your rider or cargo load; a manufacturer's maximum range is not a route guarantee.

• Storage: check weight and folded dimensions before choosing a folder.

• Scheme purchase: confirm the exact supplied model's eligibility and your employer's process in the Bike to Work guide.

Electric bike buying questions

How much does an electric bike cost in Ireland?

At Lifty, new electric bikes start from €624 (Fiido D3 Pro Mini), and many commuter and folding models are between €1,000 and €1,500. Cargo e-bikes and premium mid-drive models cost more. Through the Bike to Work (Cycle to Work) Scheme your employer buys the bike and you repay it from your gross salary, which can save up to 52% depending on your tax position, within the €1,500 limit for a qualifying e-bike (€3,000 for a cargo bike).

Where can I buy an electric bike in Dublin?

At Lifty Electric, 157 Capel Street, Dublin 1, a short walk from the Jervis Luas stop. The showroom is open Tuesday to Friday 11:30–18:00 and Saturday 11:30–17:00 (closed Sunday and Monday). You can also order online for delivery across Ireland, and have the same bike serviced in our own workshop (repairs by booking). Contact us to confirm a model is on display before you travel.

Can I buy an electric bike on the Cycle to Work Scheme?

Yes. Bike to Work and Cycle to Work are two names for the same Irish scheme. A qualifying pedal-assist e-bike (250W continuous, assistance cutting out at 25 km/h) can be bought through your employer up to €1,500 including eligible safety equipment, or up to €3,000 for a cargo e-bike. Request an employer-ready quote through our Bike to Work guide.

Are electric bikes legal in Ireland?

Yes. In Ireland a pedal-assisted e-bike (pedelec) is treated like an ordinary bicycle if its motor is rated at no more than 250W continuous, it only assists while you pedal, and the assistance cuts out at 25 km/h. You don't need a licence, motor tax or insurance, and you can use cycle lanes. E-bikes with a throttle that works without pedalling, or that assist above 25 km/h, fall outside this category and are treated as motor vehicles. Read the Department of Transport e-bike guidance.

What should I avoid when buying an electric bike?

Avoid bikes sold for road use that aren't compliant pedelecs (more than 250W, a throttle that works without pedalling, or assistance above 25 km/h), bikes without a CE mark and EN 15194 certification, and batteries or chargers from unknown sources. Also check that parts and servicing are available in Ireland for that brand, and that the frame size suits your height before you buy.

Do you sell second-hand electric bikes?

No. Every electric bike we sell is new, with the manufacturer's warranty. Servicing and repairs are available at our Lifty Labs workshop at 157 Capel Street, Dublin 1, by booking.

Does “Stock/Ready to order” mean the bike is in the Dublin showroom?

The Stock/Ready to order range shows models that can be ordered online. It can include pre-orders, which keep their separate badge. It does not confirm that every colour or frame size is physically available to view. Check the exact variant and ask the team before travelling.

Which electric bike should I buy for commuting, storage or carrying a load?

Start with your daily distance, hills, storage space and carrying needs. Compare city and commuter bikes for everyday journeys, folding bikes for compact storage, or cargo bikes for a suitable load-carrying design. Check each model's weight, dimensions and rated load; a folding frame does not automatically make a bike easy to lift.

What should I send my employer for a Bike to Work purchase?

Choose the exact model, size and colour, then request a quotation through our Bike to Work guide. Confirm your employer's process before paying: Revenue's scheme requires the employer to buy the bicycle; reimbursing an employee's own purchase does not qualify. The exemption limits include eligible safety equipment: €1,500 for qualifying e-bikes and €3,000 for qualifying cargo bikes. See Revenue's current rules.

Can every electric bike be delivered, and how long will it take?

Collection, delivery and preparation depend on the model and destination. UTO e-bikes are Dublin collection only under our current policy. Other models may have availability or preparation lead times. Read the shipping policy and confirm the charge, expected timing and assembly option for your exact bike in the quotation or at checkout.

How do I check whether a particular e-bike is suitable for Irish public roads?

Check the supplied version, not just the model name or a selectable speed setting. The Department of Transport describes the pedal-assisted e-bike category as up to 250W continuous rated power, with assistance stopping when pedalling stops and cutting off before 25km/h. Read the official technical and usage requirements and ask us about the exact configuration before ordering.

What should I check about servicing before I buy?

Confirm warranty arrangements, compatible parts and workshop support for the specific model and electrical system. Our Dublin e-bike repair information explains the workshop route. Contact the team with the model and issue before bringing in a bike; parts, diagnostic work and repair scope depend on the job.

Is it an e-bike or an e-moped? Every e-bike here is a 250 W pedal-assist pedelec. See e-bike vs e-moped vs e-scooter rules in Ireland, or plan a ride on the Royal Canal Greenway.
