Who invented the electric bike?

The electric bike, or eBike, is a relatively new invention with no single inventor. The first electric bicycles were developed in the late 19th century, but they were not widely used until advancements in battery and motor technology in the late 20th century. Since then, many companies and individuals around the world have contributed to the development and innovation of ebikes.
