Electric Bike Information
What are Electric Bicycle?
Electric Bicycle (ebikes) are bicycles that have a battery and motor. This give you extra power which is great for riding up hills, into wind, or ensuring that you can get in some exercise before work without breaking a sweat.
Are all ebikes the same?
No! Some ebikes have a motor built into the front wheel, some have a motor built into the rear wheel and some have a motor built into the crank system, a.k.a. mid-drive motor.
Another distinction is how your access the power. With some ebikes you only get the power assistance when you are pedaling. On other ebikes there is a throttle that you can use to make the bike move even if you are not pedaling. There are a few different classifications of ebikes, and there are slightly different rules that apply to each one.
Type 1- Pedal-assisted ebike. Power maxes out at 20mph.
Type 2- Throttle-assisted ebike. Power maxes our at 20 mph.
Type 3- Pedal-assisted ebike. Power maxes out at 28 mph.
