Pedal-Assist & Pedal-Free Throttle

Author: POLEEJIEK Visit: 66

E-bikes are regular bicycles with battery-powered motors and they all come with pedal assist, which allows you to control your speed by simply increasing or decreasing the push on the bike pedals. You can also add a pedal-free throttle as an added feature to your pedal assisted e-bike! Throttles are great for people who want to ride without having to pedal. It's definitely not necessary, but it's a great option for long commutes and can be added to any e-bike! You can have a "regular" bike and turn the power on whenever you want, that's what's so exciting!

Pedal-Assist & Pedal-Free Throttle

Pedal-Assist

An electric-powered boost-system on the e-bike boosts the rider as he or she pedals. This function helps the rider in two ways, depending on the type of bicycle:

1. Increased speed: The primary purpose of e-bikes designed for riding on roads is increased speed. Street bikes with electric-drive-systems typically have hub motors, located on the back wheel.

2. Increased torque: Electric mountain bikes and delivery bikes are designed to provide extra torque for climbing steep hills or pulling loads. They usually have mid-drive motors, located in between the pedals. The gears in the hub of the rear motor provide extra torque as well.

Pedal-Free Throttle

Some e-bikes come with a handlebar-mounted throttle feature that will function without the rider having to pedal. You set the speed you want and press a lever on the handlebars. The throttle engages the motor with the press of a button, whether or not you are pedaling.
