An electric bike, often known as an ebike, is a kind of bicycle that is equipped an electric motor to augment the rider’s pedaling efforts. This motor, powered by a rechargeable battery, provides varying levels of assistance depending on the rider’s preferences and the terrain.
The electric motor is usually located either in the hub of one of the wheels or integrated into the bike’s frame near the pedals. When the rider pedals, sensors detect the movement and engage the motor to provide assistance. This assistance can range from gentle support on flat terrain to more substantial assistance on hills or when the rider desires an extra boost.
Ebikes offer riders the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of cycling with added assistance, making commuting, leisure rides, and tackling challenging terrain more accessible and enjoyable for a wide range of individuals.
