Electric Bikes

An electric bike (e‑bike) is a bicycle equipped with a battery-powered motor that assists your pedalling. You still pedal, but the motor makes it easier to accelerate and climb hills.

Battery range varies by model but typically provides 20–60 miles on a single charge. Factors include rider weight, terrain, assistance level and battery capacity.

Most e‑bike batteries charge fully in 4–6 hours. Charging time depends on battery size and the charger’s output.
