You can use an electric bike not only for recreation, but also as an excellent means of transportation, with which you can go to school, work or somewhere else, without needing a lot of fitness, because the electric drive makes driving easier. Riding an electric bicycle is very similar to riding a traditional bicycle. At the basic level, an electric bike is equipped with a battery and an electric motor that makes it easy for you to pedal. Electric bikes have pedals, gears and brakes similar to a regular bike. Like regular bikes, they come in a variety of shapes and styles to meet a rider's varying needs for comfort, terrain, speed or utility. Electric bicycles are usually divided into three groups:
1. group - Electric bikes that provide assistance only when the rider pedals up to a maximum speed of 25 km/h. These bikes can be ridden on the same roads, trails and cycle paths as regular bikes.
2. group - Electric bicycles offer pedaling assistance, but also offer the option of using assistance without pedaling. The maximum permitted speed where you will receive assistance is up to 25 km/h. These bikes can be used on roads, bike paths like normal bikes.
3. group - Electric bicycles that can provide electric assistance to drivers up to a speed of 45 km/h while pedalling. Such bikes must be registered as a motor vehicle, and due to their ability to reach higher speeds, most regions restrict the bikes from operating on roads.
How does an electric bike work?
The electric drive is activated when the pedals are pressed. Its operation is managed and monitored with the help of the control unit, which is installed on the handlebars of the bicycle. Both the electric motor and the battery play a key role in how much power we will have to invest in cycling. There are three types of motors installed on electric bikes:
Motor in the front wheel
It creates a feeling as if "someone is pulling you". It is less visible and the bike looks more elegant.
Mid motor
It keeps the center of gravity of the bike in the middle, which has a favorable effect on the stability of the bike during the ride itself. It is suitable for more technical rides.
Motor in the back wheel
It conjures a feeling as if you have "the wind at your back". It is less visible and the bike looks more elegant.Electric bike motors regulate power with the help of sensors:
RPM sensor, the engine adds power depending on the number of revolutions and the set engine power,
A torque sensor that enables low consumption of electricity, as the motor precisely adds power according to your pedal pressure and the set level of motor assistance.
The front and rear motors usually contain a rev sensor. The mid motor usually contains a torque sensor.
The most important element is the battery
When choosing an electric bike, you should pay attention mainly to the battery and its capacity. The battery will determine how efficiently you will be able to use the electric motor drive on the electric bike. When choosing a battery, we must pay attention to the following information:
Battery capacity
Battery range
and battery charging time
