Electric bicycles (referred to as e-bikes) have recently become one of the trendiest ways to cruise the trails and bike paths. The battery-assisted bikes come in a variety of classes and styles, from moderate pedal-assist to full-throttle power. Whether you need the extra boost to keep up with your kids or to get through uphill, rough terrain, an e-bike is an essential addition to your outdoor gear.
Benefits
- SWEAT-FREE COMMUTE
Ride your bike to the office or social gathering without breaking a sweat. Pedal assistance allows you to choose how much of a workout you receive, from standard pedaling to full battery power. - EASY CHARGE
Most e-bike varieties either plug into a typical 120-volt wall outlet to charge or work with swappable battery packs. The bikes can typically be charged within three hours for 30-80 miles in assisted range.
- SPEED
Standard Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes can assist with pedaling up to 20 mph. Higher-performance Class 3 models have a drive system that will assist up to 28 mph. Always wear your helmet!
