How to electric bike?
To ride an electric bike, first turn on the battery and motor using the controls typically located on the handlebars. Then, begin pedaling like you would on a regular bicycle. The motor will provide additional power through either pedal-assist, which means the motor only engages when the rider is pedaling, or throttle-based acceleration, where the rider can use a throttle to control the motor. Be sure to adjust the pedal-assist level or throttle carefully, as too much power can be dangerous. Additionally, like any other bicycle, be sure to wear appropriate safety gear and follow traffic laws.
