How Does an Electric Assist Bike Work? A Complete Guide for Beginners
An electric assist bike or e-bike is a bicycle equipped with a battery-powered electric motor that helps propel the bicycle forward. The motor is activated by pedaling or through a throttle, and it provides additional power to the rider’s pedaling efforts. The motor’s power output and speed can be controlled by a control unit mounted on the handlebars, and the battery can be recharged by plugging it into an electrical outlet. The electric assist feature of e-bikes allows riders to travel further and longer distances with less effort and can be especially beneficial for commuting or recreational cycling.
