Most electric bikes use a battery to supply power to an electric motor. These motors come in different sizes/strengths. When comparing bikes, you will notice a number like 750W. This means the motor has 750 watts of power, which will make cruising up a hill super easy! It also means that it uses a lot of power when it is on, so you might not get as far as you would with a lower power 250W motor. Like everything in life, there are trade offs!
Most e-bikes also have LCD screens. The screens tell you important information like how much battery life is left, how fast you’re going, and what distance you’ve traveled. Some electric bikes also have built in headlights and tail lights, making them safe to ride at night.
