What is the difference between an electric bike and a pedal-assisted bike?

The electric bike can move autonomously, like a scooter, while the pedal-assisted bike (pedelec) works only when you pedal, offering support via a motor up to 25 km/h.

What are the main components of an e-bike?

In addition to the frame, drivetrain and brakes of a traditional bike, an e-bike has a motor, battery, pedal sensor, control unit and charger.

How long does the battery last and what is the range of an e-bike?

The range depends on battery capacity, terrain, weight and level of assistance: with 24-48 V batteries and a 250 W motor, you can travel from tens to over 150 km in the most advanced models.

What types of motors are there on e-bikes?

There are motors in the front or rear hub (simpler and cheaper) or central motors in the bottom bracket, more balanced, powerful and suitable for climbs and challenging routes.

What maintenance do the brakes and wheels on an e-bike require?

E-bikes often use hydraulic disc brakes: the pads last about 1,000-3,000 km depending on use, then need to be replaced (they cost €15-40). Wide tires also improve comfort and grip, but need to be checked regularly.

How to choose the right e-bike for me?

It depends on the use: for the city choose a light city or folding bike; for trekking go for a trekking e-bike with a good battery; if you are looking for adventure opt for gravel or e-MTB. Evaluate autonomy, type of engine, weight and comfort.
