Electric bicycles, or e-bikes, are bicycles equipped with an electric motor that assists with pedaling. This motor can help riders travel longer distances and tackle steep hills with less effort. E-bikes come in various styles, including mountain bikes, commuter bikes, and folding bikes, making them versatile for different riding needs. The electric motor is powered by a rechargeable battery, which can typically last for several hours of riding, depending on the level of assistance used. Many e-bikes also feature adjustable settings, allowing riders to choose how much help they want from the motor. This makes them an appealing option for both casual cyclists and those looking to replace car trips with a more eco-friendly mode of transportation.
