Velo Index

ChatGPTby Alexander McParland

Velo Index helps people find and compare e-bikes by budget, market and recorded specifications, using an independent catalogue of manufacturer-published information. It covers thousands of model variants from well over a hundred brands across the EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, organized into consistent fields, with numeric specifications standardized for comparison and reviewed manually before publication. Ask for bikes that fit a budget, weight, claimed range, battery size, torque, frame type, motor position or sensor type, and in the US and Canada an e-bike class. Sort by price, weight, claimed range or battery and page through every match. Look up one model's recorded specifications, including frame material, suspension, wheel size and tyres, or set two to four models side by side. Numeric specifications are standardized for comparison; descriptive specifications retain the catalogue's recorded wording. Values Velo Index has not recorded are marked as not recorded, never estimated. Results appear in an interactive panel: a carousel of matching bikes with catalogue images, a filterable explorer, and a two-bike comparison table that marks differences without declaring a winner. Each bike links to its full record on Velo Index. Velo Index publishes no rankings and accepts no payment for inclusion or placement. It earns revenue through affiliate commissions, which have no bearing on which models appear or in what order. The plugin is read-only, needs no account and reads the public Velo Index catalogue only.
