How steep a hill can an electric bike climb?
The ability of an electric bike to climb hills depends on several factors, including the power of the motor, the capacity of the battery, and the weight of the rider and the bike. Generally speaking, most ebikes can handle grades ranging from 6% to 10%, but some models are capable of climbing steeper inclines. It's important to note that rider input also plays a role in the bike's climbing ability, as pedal-assist can make it easier to climb hills by boosting power output. Ultimately, the capabilities of an eBike will vary depending on its specific design and intended use case.
