What is an electric mountain bike?
Electric power-assisted mountain bikes, referred to as e-MTB, can help you when you step on the pedals. When you stop pedaling, the motor stops assisting. Riding is still fun, but your energy investment will get a better return.

What is the working principle of e-MTB?
Electric mountain bikes have a small motor under the frame where the crank is located. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery powers the motor. The motor only provides power when you step on the pedal. It adds power to every stepping, so it feels like pedaling an ordinary bicycle, except for the feeling of wind under your feet. You can control the power provided by the motor through a remote control mounted on the handle. The e-MTB with transmission system has three different levels of auxiliary power to choose from. Or you can use the one-time setting e-MTB mode, which can automatically adjust the power assistance to provide the correct power for every situation on the mountain road.

How far will my e-MTB ride? What is the mileage of the battery?
The mileage of an electric bicycle depends on several factors. Battery size, motor power, rider weight, terrain and even temperature will affect how far your e-MTB can go after a single charge of the battery. Basically, the harsher the motor’s working conditions, the more power it consumes. The more power it uses, the faster the battery will drain. This is why larger riders drive shorter mileage than smaller riders, which is why riding in hilly areas with a lot of continuous climbing will consume the battery faster than riding in flat areas with less climbs. .

How fast does the electric mountain bike run?
Pedal-assisted mountain bikes are as fast as the pedals. However, once a certain speed limit is reached, the motor will stop providing assistance. Generally speaking, the speed limit in North America is 20 miles per hour, and in Europe it is 25 kilometers per hour. Beyond these speeds, you can continue to pedal, but the motor will not provide additional power.

Can e-MTB go up the mountain road?
The rules for riding electric mountain bikes vary from region to region. Generally speaking, electric mountain bikes can be used on roads that allow motorized or scooter vehicles to pass. Many traditional mountain trails do not allow electric bicycle riding, so it is important to check with the local land management agency or mountain trail owner before riding.

Is e-MTB right for me?
Although electric mountain bikes are super fun and can help you enjoy your favorite mountain trails and even more, not all places can be visited. Check the rules of the mountain trails you plan to ride. If the rules restrict the passage of pedal-assisted bicycles or motor vehicles, then e-MTB may not be your best choice.
