First of all, it is like a regular bicycle but the only difference is that it has an electric motor. In other words, you can make it work by pedaling normally and once you have gotten tired of pedaling or you need help on the hills, then you can use it’s motor to provide you an additional assistance. It makes your riding experience easier and stress free. On the other hand, if you think that it is the same as a motorbike as it has a motor, then you are wrong for the reason that it runs silently.

Throughout the years, more and more countries and states have legalized the use of E-Bikes on roadways. Nevertheless, there are still maximum speed limit being implemented for the safety of the rider and the pedestrians as well. In terms of average power, it is capable of delivering 1/5^th of the horsepower or 150 watts. On the other hand, when it hits the hill, it’s speed drops and it then switches to an easy gear as they need to work harder.

For those who are curious about whether the motor recharges through pedaling, the answer is yes on most E-Bikes. Nevertheless, there is a need to take note of the fact that in order for it’s motor to recharge, the bike should move at a speed that is faster than the speed that the motor can attain by itself.

Through the emergence of E-Bikes, more and more people have also been turned into daily riders. Meaning to say, instead of taking a cab or the public transportation system, they ride the E-Bike in order to purchase something from stores. In addition to that, even those who have never ridden a bike as adults have also started riding on a daily or weekly basis.

In terms of the price of E-Bikes, while some people think that it is expensive, it is actually not. In fact, it is possible for you to turn your ordinary bicycle into an E-Bike and you would be able to send more cost by doing that. In addition to that, by using it as a mode of transportation, you also get to save money from the transportation cost.

Apart from the cost, another misconception that people have about E-Bikes is that it no longer counts as an exercise as it has a motor that assists the rider as he/she pedals. It still does count as an exercise and you can still enjoy the health benefits that riding a bicycle offers such as improved cardiovascular health, aerobic capacity and fitness. It can still let you sweat all those excess fats in your body out.
