e-Bikes

e-Bikes, or electric bikes, are bicycles equipped with an electric motor that assists with propulsion. They are designed to enhance the cycling experience by providing additional power to the rider, making it easier to travel longer distances, climb hills, and handle challenging terrains. e-Bikes come with rechargeable batteries that power the motor, and they often include features such as pedal-assist and throttle control. Pedal-assist means the motor engages when the rider pedals, while throttle control allows the rider to control the speed without pedaling. e-Bikes are increasingly popular for commuting, recreational riding, and reducing reliance on fossil fuel transportation, contributing to more sustainable urban mobility. They typically fall into classes based on speed and power output, influencing regulations regarding their use on public paths and roadways.
