With the awakening of citizens’ awareness of environmental protection, low-carbon and environmentally friendly travel methods have also begun to be advocated by the public. The E-bike market is gradually heating up. Many people have these two common misunderstandings about electric assist bicycles, let’s see if you also have them.
1.The electric assist bicycle cannot achieve the effect of exercise.
Many people think that electric assist will make bicycle riding lose its soul, and riding electric-assist bicycles will not play a role in exercise and health improvement. In fact, electric assist bicycles are different from electric bicycles, and they are not completely pure electric riding. It is based on human beings and supplemented by electricity. It still needs to be pedaled with both feet. Electricity only plays an auxiliary role, so that you are not as exhausted as riding a traditional bicycle.
In fact, electric-assisted bicycles are not only suitable for lovers of healthy riding and exercise, but also suitable for office workers who commute and ride. Because it not only has an exercise mode for healthy riding, but also a commuting mode suitable for commuting riding. In the commuting mode, the system will provide a larger boost ratio, so when commuting and riding, there will be no worries about exhaustion due to too long a distance, making the whole riding process easy and smooth. Not only that, there are leisure modes and manual modes. The leisure mode avoids the physical discomfort caused by cyclists when they are new to riding, and it is also the best choice for leisure riding. Because the whole boost is between exercise and commuting, it can be easily reached for long-distance travel. In the manual mode, users can adjust the assist ratio independently according to the riding feeling and have the riding experience they want.
2.The installation of the electric moped is complicated and heavy.
Electric assist bicycles require installing additional parts or replacing some components, so new riders will find it cumbersome. In fact, it is not as complicated as imagined. Generally, it is composed of motor, battery and controller. It is more of an integrated wheel design, which integrates the motor and battery box controller in the hub. The installation only needs to replace the front wheel, which can be completed in one minute, and it is lighter than electric bicycles. Breaking through the tradition, it is more friendly to beginners.
Some people may say that electric bicycles will be heavy when they are out of power. Ordinary electric vehicles on the market are difficult to ride because most of them use low-speed motors without clutch devices. When there is no electricity, the motor becomes a generator. The faster you ride, the greater the resistance. But now the motors are all high-speed motors with clutches, and there are clutches on the structure, so riding on flat roads without power will not increase resistance, and it is as easy as riding a bicycle. The higher-end ones are even equipped with 5.0 Bluetooth, which can be connected to the mobile APP to check the battery power and riding data in time. It can also adjust the power assist, set the over speed alarm, and report the loss.
Electric assist bicycles have existed since the 19th century, and today they are more in line with the habits of the public. Don’t confuse it with an electric car anymore. Give it a try, it’s better than you can imagine.
