What is pedal assist electric bike?

A pedal-assist electric bike is a type of electric bike that uses an electric motor to provide assistance to the rider's pedaling. The motor is activated by the rider's pedaling through sensors that detect the speed, force, or cadence of the rider's pedaling. As the rider pedals, the motor provides additional power to help with propulsion, making it easier to climb hills or ride longer distances. The level of assistance can often be adjusted, allowing the rider to customize the level of assistance to their needs. Pedal-assist electric bikes are popular for commuting, Touring, and recreational riding.
