Welcome
Congratulations on the purchase of your Hebb Electric bike. You’re one step
closer in realizing a whole new way of commuting that is fast, fun and friendly
to the environment.
The hub motor is brushless and uses a technology called Pulse Wave Modulation
control, so that it’s not subject to wear like a regular DC motor. Planetary reduction
gears incorporated into its hub gives it a very strong torque, working in unison
with your leg power to flatten out those hills and to overcome headwinds.
Under normal cruising conditions (16 mph), the motor draws about 5 amps at
140 watts with 3 foot pounds torque and has an efficiency of about 80%. Its
electric consumption is about 1.0 kwH for 62 miles - even less energy than the
food you would consume riding by leg power alone. Making it by far the most
efficient vehicle ever made.
While the Hebb pledge to quality means our components are high value and
reliable, it’s your part to understand safety implications and the possible risks of
cycling. So please take some time and read this manual. It explains the bike in
detail and how to take care of it, so that you can enjoy using the bike for many
years to come.
