What is mid drive electric bike?

A mid-drive electric bike, also known as a central motor or crank drive electric bike, is a type of eBike that has its motor located near the bottom bracket or the central area of the bike's frame. This allows the motor to directly drive the bike's chain, providing better power and torque to the wheels. Mid-drive ebikes are generally more powerful and efficient than hub motor ebikes, especially for steep inclines or challenging terrain. They also enable smoother gear shifting and more natural pedal assist, making them a popular choice for off-road and mountain biking adventures. The price point for mid-drive ebikes could vary depending on the features and quality of the bike.
