An electric bike, commonly referred to as an e-bike, is a bicycle that is equipped with an electric motor to assist with pedaling. This motor can be powered by rechargeable batteries, which can typically be removed for charging while not attached to the bike.
Electric bikes come in various styles, including pedal-assist (or pedelec) models, where the rider must pedal to activate the motor, and throttle models, which allow the rider to engage the motor without pedaling. E-bikes are designed to enhance the cycling experience by providing additional power, enabling riders to tackle hills and longer distances more easily than traditional bikes.
In most jurisdictions, electric bikes are classified based on their power output and speed capabilities, which can influence where they can be legally ridden. E-bikes are increasingly popular for commuting, recreation, and as an environmentally friendly alternative to motor vehicles.
