E-bikes tips: It’s advisable to ride on the proper side of the road. It sounds obvious but most of the riders believe in riding against traffic where you see vehicles moving towards you. Use warning devices like a bell, or an air horn on your e-bike. The two have different uses. An air horn is used for cautioning cars while a bell is used for warning pedestrians. This will save you from minor collisions and other multiple close calls.

First, let’s define our terms. An electric bike, or ebike, is any bike that has an electric motor. There are two main classes of ebikes in Australia. Pedelecs: The electric assist on these bikes is activated by pedalling. In most Australian states and territories, they are limited to assisted speeds of 25km/h with a motor of 250 watts or less. They’re legally classified as bicycles. Power-assisted pedal-cycles: The electric drive system on these bikes is activated either via pedalling or on demand with a throttle (e.g., a button or grip twist). There is no speed restriction on power-assisted pedal cycles but power output must be 200 Watts or less.

Get some exercise! Even with the pedal assist through the motor of the electric bike, you are still getting some exercise. You do still have to pedal, as well as balance the bike. It’s a great way to get some fresh air and sunshine, and the act of pedaling helps to boost cardiovascular health. It’s a good way to “trick” yourself into getting some exercise, because it doesn’t really feel like working out. And even those who are very fit can still burn calories on an electric bike.

Class 2 (also known as throttle assisted electric bicycles) is equipped with a throttle that can activate the electrical power without any need to pedal. These ebikes can develop speeds of around 20 mph quite easily. Class 3 (also defined as speed pedelecs, or speed pedal assist electric bicycles) provides you assistance only when you pedal. They will provide you with enough power to go up to 28 mph and have a motor with 750 watts. In some states and countries, they are considered equal to mopeds, and therefore require a driving license and registration. See a few more details at honestelectricbikers.com.
