FAQ's

What is an electric bike?
Electric bikes, also known as e-bikes, are bicycles equipped with a battery, motor, display, and other electrical components. Unlike traditional bikes, e-bikes provide motor assistance, making it easier to ride longer distances and conquer hills. This allows people of all ages and abilities, including those with disabilities or limited mobility, to enjoy the benefits of cycling.
How fast can an electric bike go?
The speed limit for e-bikes varies depending on the model and local regulations. In the United States, e-bikes are typically classified into three classes:
• Class 1: These e-bikes have a motor that assists up to 15.5 mph and only engages when the rider pedals.
• Class 2: These e-bikes also have a 20 mph speed limit but offer a throttle that allows for motor assistance without pedalling.
• Class 3: Class 3 e-bikes can reach speeds up to 28 mph and must have a speedometer. They may or may not have a throttle.
How does an electric bike work?
Electric bikes operate through a combination of human and electric power. Riders can choose between different modes:
• Pure Throttle Mode: The motor engages and propels the bike without pedaling, similar to a moped. (Availability may vary by class.)
• PAS Mode (Pedal Assist System): The motor assists the rider's pedaling effort, making it easier to climb hills and maintain speed.
• Traditional Bike Mode: The e-bike functions like a regular bicycle, with no motor assistance.
How do I choose the right electric bike?
Here are some key factors to consider when choosing an e-bike:
• Riding Style: Identify how you plan to use the e-bike. For example, a fat-tired e-bike might be ideal for off-road adventures.
• Height: Ensure the e-bike frame size is suitable for your height for a comfortable riding experience. You can usually find recommended height ranges on product pages under the "Size" section.
• Budget: E-bikes come in a variety of price ranges, depending on features and specifications.
How do I charge an electric bike?
Charging an e-bike is simple. The battery is removable and can be plugged into a standard outlet. For more specific instructions, you can often find assembly videos on the product pages.
How long will it take for my e-bike to arrive?
