An e-bike is a regular bike with a battery powering a motor to assist with pedaling. E-bikes are fun! They help you get from point A to point B quickly and cost-effectively, and in an environmentally friendly way.

E-bikes are great for going uphill, tackling long commutes, and hauling kids or cargo. They are cheap to ride, safer in traffic, and easy to park. They are easier to ride if you have some physical limitations, but good for your health as you can choose your level of effort.
