ASTM CONDITION 2,
General Purpose Riding.
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.
