What is an Electric Bike?

MORE THAN JUST A BIKE

An E-Bike, short for electric bicycle, is a bicycle equipped with an electric motor to assist with propulsion.
These bikes typically have a rechargeable battery that powers the electric motor, providing varying levels of assistance to the rider as they pedal.

The electric motor can be activated in different ways, such as through a handlebar-mounted throttle or by pedaling, where the motor provides assistance as the rider pedals.

A pedal-assisted E-Bike, often referred to as a pedelec (pedal electric cycle), is a type of electric bicycle that requires the rider to pedal to activate the electric motor. With a throttle, the E-Bike allows the rider to control the motor independently of pedaling.

EASIER TO PEDAL

On a pedal-assisted E-Bike, the electric motor is designed to augment the rider's pedaling efforts, making it easier to pedal, especially uphill or over challenging terrain.

The level of assistance can often be adjusted using a control on the handlebars or through a display panel on the bike. Some pedal-assisted E-Bikes have multiple assistance levels, allowing the rider to choose the amount of electric assistance they want.

This system will provide a more natural and intuitive riding experience, with the electric motor seamlessly complementing the rider's pedaling effort. These types of e-bikes are popular for commuting, recreational cycling, and touring, offering a balance between human-powered and electric assistance.

THE CHANGE BEGINS NOW!

E-Bikes have gained popularity as an alternative mode of transportation, with pedalling still a part of the experience, but this time around with the clear advantage that is so much more fun. Fuel, parking, insurance and pollution handling, such concerns typically associated with the car, become trivial when we have an electric bike that also “helps” by providing a calm, stress-free ride.

It will make you feel like a superhero. Pedalling against the wind or go up a steep hill without much effort are some of the "superpowers" granted to us by electric bikes. In a time when using a bike for urban mobility is increasingly popular, the synergy between technology and sustainability is capturing a growing curiosity that has already convinced many around the world.

So this such innovative idea is about revolutionising the urban micromobility concept with a “green” stamp.

There are as many bikes as tastes so the only barrier to taking down is to find out which is the one waiting for us by just trying out!
