What is the difference between an ebike and a bicycle?

There are many differences between Ebike (Electric Bicycle) and traditional bicycles, which are mainly reflected in power source, riding experience, design structure and market positioning.

1. Power source
Traditional bicycles: rely entirely on human power to ride, and the wheels are driven forward by pedaling the chain, without relying on any external power source.

Ebike: Batteries, motors and electronic control systems are added to the traditional bicycles. When riding, it can be powered by electricity or completely powered by electricity, which greatly reduces the difficulty of riding and physical exertion. The power assistance system of Ebike is usually divided into two types: pedal-assist and manual control (throttle-based). The former provides auxiliary power according to the pedaling force of the rider, and the latter allows the rider to control the motor through the throttle on the handle.

2. Riding experience
Traditional bicycles: riding requires full human power, which may be more strenuous for long distances or uphill sections.

Ebike: Due to the existence of electric assistance, riding becomes easier and more labor-saving, especially suitable for long-distance riding, uphill or carrying heavy objects. At the same time, Ebike also provides a variety of power levels to choose from, and riders can adjust them according to their needs to get the best riding experience.
