An eBike, or electric bike, is a bicycle that is equipped with an electric motor to assist with propulsion. This motor is powered by a battery, which provides energy to enhance pedaling efforts, allowing riders to cover longer distances with less physical exertion compared to traditional bicycles. eBikes typically come with various levels of assistance, which can be adjusted by the rider, helping to make cycling more accessible to a wider range of people, including those with varying fitness levels or physical challenges. eBikes can be used for commuting, recreational riding, and various other purposes, combining the benefits of cycling with the advantages of motorized support. They can be categorized into different classes depending on their speed and how the motor assistance operates, with some requiring pedaling to activate the motor, while others may allow for throttle operation.
