Riding an electric bicycle is an excellent way to get active outside, no matter your skill level. Unlike standard bikes, electric bikes feature a motor, pedal assist and more to make riding easier. Powered by a handy rechargeable battery, e-bikes can average up to 20km/h when cruising and are an eco-friendly option for commuting.
Are electric bikes easier to pedal?
Yes. The pedal assist feature gives your pedaling an added boost when riding up hills or over rugged terrain, while also providing a smoother, easier overall ride.
How often do I need to charge the battery on an e-bike?
You should be charging the battery whenever it dips below 30 percent. While you don’t need to charge your battery fully after each ride, it’s best to have a full, 100 percent charge for your first use.
Can an e-bicycle go up hills?
Yes. They are designed to easily tackle hills and inclines with the electric pedal assist feature, which also means less stress on your muscles and joints. Although ecycling may feel smoother than standard cycling, wearing Helmets & Safety Gear are strongly recommended.
