e-Bikes - Page 10

e-Bikes, or electric bicycles, are bicycles equipped with an integrated electric motor that assists with pedalling. They feature a rechargeable battery that powers the motor, allowing for a boost to the rider's pedalling efforts. e-Bikes can vary in design, with some offering pedal-assist, where the motor engages only when the rider is pedalling, and others providing a throttle mechanism that allows the rider to accelerate without pedalling. This assistance helps to make cycling more accessible, especially for those who may struggle with traditional bicycles due to fitness or terrain challenges. e-Bikes are increasingly popular for commuting, recreational riding, and reducing reliance on motor vehicles, contributing to more sustainable transportation options.
