1: Definition and Types of Ebikes

An ebike, in simple terms, is a bicycle with an electric motor and battery that assists the rider's pedaling. There are two main types of ebikes: pedal-assist and throttle-assist. Pedal-assist ebikes require the rider to pedal in order for the motor to engage and provide assistance, while throttle-assist ebikes can be powered solely by the motor without any pedaling.
