Electric Bike - Page 42

An electric bike, or e-bike, is a bicycle that is equipped with an electric motor to assist with propulsion. This motor can help the rider pedal and is powered by a rechargeable battery. E-bikes can come in various styles, including pedelecs, which require pedaling to activate the motor, and throttle-controlled models that allow the rider to engage the motor without pedaling. Electric bikes are designed to enhance cycling experiences by providing additional power, making hills and longer distances more manageable. They are increasingly popular for commuting, recreational riding, and reducing the environmental impact of transportation compared to traditional motor vehicles.
