As a means of transportation, bicycles have occupied the market for a long time. Still, because their power source mainly depends on the pedaling motion of people, it is time-consuming and laborious, and the driving distance is relatively limited. Therefore, people have invented an uncomplicated and labor-saving tool-electric bicycle. It retains the frame shape of the bicycle and then assembles multiple electronic components such as the battery, motor, and controller. The battery can help the rider's long-distance riding desire. The motor can allow the rider to conquer rough roads and adventure activities. The pedal assist can enable the rider to customize the pedal assist level for different road conditions to overcome obstacles quickly. Compared with those oil-powered vehicles, it mainly relies on electricity and is more environmentally friendly.

Electric bicycles are becoming more and more popular, mainly because of what?

  1. Today's economic development is improving, and people's awareness of maintaining physical and mental health is increasing. The prevalence of diseases caused by lack of exercise and unhealthy living habits is increasing yearly. Therefore, people hope to increase physical activity and improve sub-health problems by cycling.
  2. Due to the needs of life, the number of cars continues to increase, and the traffic in some cities is increasingly congested. The flexibility of power bikes can alleviate the problem of urban traffic congestion to a large extent; The primary source is noise pollution. Vehicles powered by electricity will not produce exhaust gas or pollute the environment.
  3. Some countries and non-governmental organizations actively develop bicycle lanes to advocate for their people to buy power bike
  4. Recently, camping and fishing cultures have gradually become popular. People hope that through these biological activities, they can temporarily stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, choose to get close to nature, and invite relatives and friends to explore the outdoors in their free time.

In addition, COVID-19 has affected the commuting habits of many people, and countries are actively encouraging people to use bicycles as an alternative to public transportation because of the concentrated nature of public transportation. The market demand is constantly increasing, and people's need for power bikes will continue to grow in the future.

There are endless power bikes on the market. The design is constantly improving, the technology is becoming more and more mature, and the functions are updated continuously. As a novice, which type of car is more suitable?

First, we need to understand how the laws and regulations of electric bicycles in our state are defined?

The Federal Electric Bicycle Law stipulates that the maximum output probability of the motor is 750W, the upper-speed limit is 32Km/h, and the weight of the bicycle cannot exceed 50kg, making it clear that power bikes are not motor vehicles. E-bikes modified to seek speed can't be driven on bike lanes. You can go on the private territory or off the beaten track. Most states in the United States have no age limit, but under the age of 16, you must wear a helmet when riding, and some states are 18 and 15 years old. It depends on the actual situation.

Second, we have to consider the choice of battery and motor.

Battery: Units are volts and ampere-hours. It determines the distance traveled. For longer rides, we need to see if the parameters of the battery can meet the needs. Electric bicycles have batteries of three power materials: lead batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and lithium-ion batteries. Lead-acid batteries are cheap and have mature technology, but if the battery is charged too low or too high, the lifespan will be shortened, and maintenance will be more troublesome. Nickel-metal hydride batteries are rookie batteries born in the 1990s. They are developing rapidly and are characterized by being renewable, safe, and reliable. It is expensive; lithium-ion is the best material, with the advantages of high specific energy, high specific power, fast discharge, no environmental pollution, etc. Lithium-ion accounts for a significant market share, and many businesses will use lithium-ion batteries.

Motor: Generally, it can be divided into a mid-mounted motor and a rear-mounted hub motor; the mid-mounted motor, as the name suggests: the motor is in the center of the entire vehicle, which can play a role in balancing the front and rear. There are many parts of the mid-mounted motor; daily maintenance and modification are complex. The most significant disadvantage is that it is expensive, and the cost is several times that of the in-wheel motor; low, which is why in-wheel motors are more welcome.

Now that we know the basics of batteries and motors, let's consider which electric bikes are suitable for novices. Today, I mainly introduce four models, covering various riding styles. You can choose the right one according to your life orientation, or you can choose the best one under the advice of the professional team. I believe that no matter which one you prefer, you can enjoy the fun of riding in the future.
