Key parts of the electric bicycle
An electric bicycle is a lot like a normal bicycle. The major
difference is the inclusion of a motor which provides a boost when
desired. An onboard rechargeable lithium battery supplies the
motor with electric power. The bicycle can be ridden using both
pedal power and battery power at the same time.
Controller
The controller regulates how much power is sent from the battery
to the motor.
Throttle
The throttle allows the rider to control the bike’s speed. It sends a
signal to the controller telling it how much power to send to the
motor.
Battery
Electrical energy is stored in the battery pack. It is composed of
many smaller battery cells similar to that of a modern mobile
phone.
Charger
The charger plugs into the electrical outlet and is used to pump
energy back into the battery pack when it becomes depleted. The
more energy that is discharged from the battery pack, the longer it
will take to recharge.
Display
The display reads the battery’s voltage. This will give an
approximation of the battery’s charge state. The display may have
other buttons to control other functions.
Motor
The motor is built into the hub of the front wheel. When power is
sent to motor, it will began to spin, propelling the bike forward.
