Collection: E-Bikes

Electric bicycles, or e-bikes, are bicycles equipped with a battery-powered electric motor that assists the rider in pedaling. They offer an additional boost of power, making it easier to tackle hills, carry loads, or travel longer distances. E-bikes still require the rider to pedal, but the motor provides extra assistance, making riding more manageable. 
Here's a more detailed look at what e-bikes are and how they work:

Key Features:

• Motor: A motor, typically located in the wheel hub or mid-drive area, provides the electric assist.
• Battery: A rechargeable battery powers the motor.
• Controller: This component regulates the power output from the motor.
• Pedal Assist: E-bikes are designed to assist with pedaling, not replace it entirely. 

How E-bikes Work:

• The rider pedals, activating sensors that detect the amount of effort.
• The sensors send a signal to the controller, which then adjusts the power output from the motor.
• The motor provides additional power, making it easier to pedal.
• The rider can choose different levels of assistance, balancing power and battery life. 

Benefits of E-bikes:

• Easier Riding: E-bikes make hills and headwinds more manageable.
• Longer Distances: Riders can travel further without tiring.
• Increased Accessibility: E-bikes can be beneficial for riders with physical limitations or disabilities.
• Versatility: E-bikes come in various styles, including cargo bikes, commuter bikes, and mountain bikes. 

Types of E-bikes:

• Pedelecs: Pedal-assist only, no throttle, and capped at 20 mph.
• Throttle-Assisted: Can be ridden without pedaling, also capped at 20 mph.
• Speed Pedelecs: Pedal-assist with or without throttle, and can reach higher speeds, up to 28 mph.
