What is an E-Bike?
Electric bikes, also known as “E-Bikes,” are
bicycles equipped with an electric pedal-assist
drive system. E-Bikes share components
common with pedal-only bikes.
What is a Drive System?
The drive-assist system consists of a drive
unit, a battery, a computer control, and various
electronic components (harness wires,
sensors, and switches). There are many
different drive-assist systems for differing
uses and bike types. Likewise there are various
drive-assist system manufacturers (Shimano,
BOSCH, Bafang, Yamaha, etc.)
How does the Drive System work?
It is important to know that when the
drive-assist system is turned ON, the drive
unit engages to provide power only while you
are pedaling.
The amount of power provided by the drive
unit depends on your pedaling force and on
the assistance mode/level you set with the
handlebar control unit. At anytime, if you stop
pedaling, the drive-assist will dis-engage.
In all modes/levels, the drive-assist system
power reduces progressively and cuts off as
the bike reaches the maximum allowable
speed. The drive-assist re-engages when
speed drops below the maximum allowable
speed as long as the pedals are turning.
Whenever the drive-assist system is turned
OFF, you can pedal the bike normally.
The drive system will not engage.
Understand your bike, its drive-assist
system, and the intended use of both.
Using your bike the wrong way is dangerous.
