Electric Bikes

Electric bikes, or e-bikes, are bicycles that are equipped with an electric motor to assist with propulsion. This motor can be powered by a rechargeable battery, which provides energy to assist the rider while pedaling or in some cases allows for throttle operation without pedaling. E-bikes come in various styles, including commuter bikes, mountain bikes, and cargo bikes, and they offer different levels of assistance, often categorized into pedal-assist and throttle-activated modes. The primary purpose of electric bikes is to enhance cycling performance, making it easier for riders to tackle hills, longer distances, or difficult terrains, while also promoting more sustainable modes of transportation. They are an alternative to traditional bicycles and can help reduce reliance on cars, lower carbon footprints, and encourage healthier lifestyles through increased physical activity.
