Electric Bike FAQs
E-Bike Motor Technology
The model of motor you choose will determine the amount of power & torque available. A higher torque will make for quicker accelerations, and a higher overall power will let you go quicker up steeper climbs.
How fast can an e-bike go?
All ebikes are limited to 15.5 m/h (25 k/h) by law. Beyond this speed, the motor will switch off and you can ride the bike as normal as though there was no motor.
E-Bike Battery Life
Batteries come in many different capacities and form factors. These range from 300 – 700Wh, with a larger capacity offering a longer range. Most batteries are interchangeable within a given product range. For example, if your bike comes equipped with...
What Range Can I Expect on a Full Charge?
It depends! As a general rule, you'll be able to comfortably ride anywhere between 35 & 70 miles, on a full charge, depending on the route, conditions, battery capacity, model of motor & power modes you use.
How Do I Interact With my E-Bike?
Most electric bikes will come with a display & some control buttons on the handle bars. This can show a variety of information, including your speed, remaining battery capacity, estimated remaining range, current power mode, trip distance, total ...
How Much Does An E-Bike Weigh?
Again, it'll depend. E-bikes generally range anywhere from 12-30KG, though it's worth keeping in mind that most of the time you're not going to notice this extra weight - There's a motor helping you along after all!
