What is an eBike and what are their basic technical characteristics?

 

The eBike or electric bicycle is a type of electric vehicle that consists of a bicycle with an electric motor which helps to propel if forward by facilitating the back wheel´s movement. In order for it to work, one must pedal so that the motor functions and helps strengthen pedal strokes. The energy is stored in a battery.

Assistance modes

 

Ebikes tend to have between 3 and 5 assistance modes. One of these is the eco. Other modes include the tour, active or track, which double your pedal strokes. The last would be the power or turbo mode, which triple your pedal strokes.

 

They also tend to have a walk mode, which can be activated on the handlebars. The pedals may be normal or PSD.

It´s interesting to note that the motor can be found on the back wheel, front wheel, or crankset.
