How do ebike motors work?

Ebikes are equipped with electric motors that provide power to the wheels, either through a pedal-assist system or a throttle-based acceleration. Pedal-assist motors are activated when the rider pedals the bike, and they provide additional power as the rider pedals harder. Throttle-based motors are activated by twisting a grip or pressing a button, and they provide power without the need for pedaling. The motors are powered by batteries, which are typically lithium-ion and can vary in capacity depending on the model of the eBike. The motors can also vary in power, measured in watts, which affects the speed and torque of the bike. Overall, eBike motors work by providing additional power to the rider, making it easier to ride uphill or over long distances.
