Interaction between ebike and gear-shifting
The gear-shifting should be used with an ebike drive in the same way as with a normal bicycle. Irrespective of
the type of gear-shifting, it is advisable to briefly stop pedaling when changing gear. This will facilitate the
gear change and reduce wear on the powertrain. By selecting the correct gear, you can increase your speed
and range while applying the same amount of force.
Test the range of your ebike in different conditions before planning longer and more demanding trips.
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-ion 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.
