How do Electric bikes work?

Electric bikes are powered by motors located in the hub of the rear wheel or in more modern times, between the cranks. Mid motors are often deemed as superior over the traditional hub motor simply due to the weight distribution being 50/50 as well as being placed lower which inevitably ensures that your bike handles better. Alongside the handling benefits, Mid motors are usually more powerful as the motor is driving the cranks which multiplies the power before it reaches the rear wheel.

Furthermore, the motor will receive its power from a battery which will often be stored on the downtube of the e-bike or on the seat stay depending on the geometry of the model. If this is your first electric bike, it might seem frightening at first at the thought of wrapping your head around the motorised system. However, this isn't the case as most electric bikes come with an "easy to read" LCD screen which gives you full control of your new bike.

We recommend that electric bikes also receive a yearly service whereby the bike is fully stripped down and rebuilt to ensure that the motor system is working as efficiently as when you first purchased the bicycle. Regular maintenance that you would carry out on a mechanical bike still applies to Electric bikes just to ensure that the parts are longer lived.
