What is an electrically power assisted bicycle?
It is a bicycle that uses an electric motor to assist the pedaling force. It does not require a license and can be used by anyone. It can be used comfortably, especially for long distances and on slopes. The motor only assists the pedaling force, not the speed. Even when the battery is empty, the bike can be ridden as a normal bicycle.
I've never used an electric bicycle before, is it okay?
Riding an electric bicycle is no different from riding a regular bicycle. We will explain how to use it first.
How many kilometers can an electrically power assisted bicycle run?
It depends on the slope and road conditions, but you can run more than 20 km using the full assist mode.
