How do electric bikes work?
All UK legal electric bikes are ‘pedal assist’ – meaning the motor works when you turn the pedals. The motors are powered by batteries located on the down tube or integrated into the frame. Riders control their bikes with a simple controller or display which also shows key data about your speed and battery life.
