Are Electric Bikes Harder to Pedal? Debunking Common Myths and Misconceptions
No, electric bikes are not harder to pedal because they have an electric motor that assists the rider while pedaling, making it easier to ride uphill or against strong winds. The rider can choose the level of assistance they need from the motor, so they can pedal as hard or as little as they want. However, electric bikes are typically heavier than regular bikes due to the added weight of the motor and battery.
