How does ebike work?

An electric bike, or eBike, works by using a battery and motor to assist the rider's pedaling power. The battery provides the energy needed to power the motor, which can then provide pedal-assist or throttle-based acceleration. Pedal-assist ebikes use sensors to detect the rider's pedaling power and automatically adjust the motor's power output accordingly. Throttle-based ebikes allow the rider to control the motor with a throttle, similar to a Motorcycle. The power provided by the motor can be adjusted through various pedal assist levels or throttle settings. This additional power can make riding an eBike easier and more enjoyable, especially uphill or against headwinds.
