An electric bike is the same as, or quite similar to a regular bike, but with an on-board battery and electric motor; using a throttle, pedal assist and /or a combination of the two, that powers the bike.

Most electric bicycles will go approximately 20 mph. Some eBikes can reach speeds much higher. The majority of our models comply with the federal speed limit of 20 mph. Some of our off-road models are faster and reach speeds up to 28 mph or more. With proper maintenance operation, electric bicycles are safe for most everybody to ride. It’s recommended to follow the same safety precautions for riding any bicycle.

1. Some eBikes are equipped with a throttle, giving complete control over powering the bike. You simply engage the throttle and the motor powers the bike.
2. Some eBikes are equipped with Pedal Assist, which engages the motor by the action of pedaling. Sensors detect when you are pedaling. This activates the motor to provide additional assistance. Most bikes with pedal assist, or pedelec, will offer a numeric level of choice to choose how much assistance the motor should offer.
