What is an ebike?

An electric bike, or eBike, is a type of bicycle that comes equipped with a battery and motor, providing the rider with additional power through either pedal-assist or throttle-based acceleration. There are numerous technical differences and design variations available in the market, based on motor power, battery capacity, pedal assist levels, frame materials, wheel size, suspension, brakes, drivetrain, and more. Ebikes cater to different usage scenarios such as city commuters, cargo bikes, beach cruisers, and mountain bikes.
