How to use an electric bike?
Using an electric bike is similar to using a regular bicycle. To start, turn on the bike by pressing the power button located somewhere on the handlebar or near the battery. Depending on the type of electric bike, you can either pedal or use the throttle to accelerate. For pedal-assist ebikes, the motor will automatically engage once you start pedaling and will provide additional power based on the level of assistance selected. To change the assistance level, use the controls on the handlebar or display screen. For throttle-based ebikes, simply twist the throttle to accelerate. Remember to always wear a helmet and follow traffic laws when riding your electric bike.
