Electric bikes are human power assist transport with an added battery power electric motor. Although capable of pushing you along without your help, electric powered bikes perform noticeably better when you pedal. Electric bikes typically travel at speeds of 10 to 20+ miles per hour and go up to 12-20 miles per charge. Charging your electric bike for four to six hours uses 5 cents worth of electricity from common 110 wall outlets. The e-bike's power can give you a break from pedaling or supply more power when you're going up hill. The emission free e bike is easy on the environment while keeping the classic ambience of the bicycle.
