An electric bike or e-bike most closely resembles a normal bicycle with a motor and battery to aid the cyclist in mastering hills and carrying heavy loads. Depending on the battery, terrain and other conditions, the range of an e-bike can be 10-40 miles before a recharge is needed. An electric bike works by assisting the cyclist with pedaling with a motor attached to the pedals. It works best when the cyclist pedals though it can also do the pedaling for an exhausted cyclist.
By law, the motor is limited to 750 watts of power and maximum speed cannot exceed 20 miles per hour. More and more people are considering an electric bike as an alternate form of transportation for running errands and short commutes to work. With the assistance of an electric motor to help with pedaling, the commuter is not as hot and sweaty when arriving to work.
Lithium Ion Tools
There are several options available to the interested person from a kit which can easily be attached to the normal bicycle to a specially built bicycle ranging in price from 0 to 00. For more value for the money, the best option is to buy a kit and install it yourself. Some motors, due to the extra weight, require a sturdier frame and tires than normal bicycles. Check with the manufacturer for correct frame requirements. Some of the newer models hide the motor and battery in the frame and run silently.
An electric bike can work independently of cyclist efforts by activating a switch or the cyclist can pedal normally without activating the motor to conserve the battery. The most efficient battery is the Lithium battery which recharges using very little electricity but can be expensive. The Lead battery requires a sturdier bicycle due to the extra weight but is less expensive. In this case, more power would be needed to carry the extra weight therefore it is not as efficient.
Due to the restrictions by law, the operator of an electric bike does not need a driver's license, state tag or insurance and is a perfect alternative to those who have lost their license. An electric bike can be mounted on the front of buses for longer commutes and the cyclist does not have to worry about long walks to the bus stop.
How does an electric bike work? It works with the aid of a motor and battery that can be activated to assist the bicyclist in climbing hills and maintaining speed. It can be used to replace pedaling, stand alone pedaling or simply to assist the weary cyclist. Electric bikes are gaining popularity all over the world and are an energy-saving alternative to automobiles.
