Thank You
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.
