Electric bicycles are a comfortable and ECO-friendly means of transportation in urban environments. Most hybrids are extremely small and lightweight, so they are suitable for folding and taking with you. There are also e-bikes for sporty riding and even transporting compact loads. As part of this article, we highlight the top 10 e-bikes for 2020.

Design features of electric bicycles

The electric drive completely and completely (or to some extent) propels the electric bike, increasing speed and making it possible to easily ride steep inclines and obstacles. The mechanism of action of an electric bike is to travel long distances solely on electric traction without the effort of the cyclist. You can also ride a bike hybrid using the pedals, just like on a regular bike. An electric bike is usually completed with:

  • electric motor;
  • controller;
  • battery;
  • the gas handle;
  • onboard PC;
  • auxiliary equipment.

How the e-bike works

The wheels are driven by an electric motor. A popular solution is considered to be a motor-wheel - a brushless DC electric machine. The controller activates the wheel motor and controls its operation. The controller is in some way an intermediary between the electric motor and the steering, which supplies electrical current from the battery to the motor and electrical components.

The controllers are available with voltages of 36 and 48 V, and are also distinguished by a sturdy and reliable device. The housings are made of aluminum alloy and the cable exit areas are hermetically sealed. The batteries supply the engine, therefore the battery is one of the most important components of the bicycle hybrid. Electric bicycles are equipped with LiPo, SLA or NiMH batteries. The battery voltage is commensurate with the characteristics of the wheel motor and controller. Batteries are often placed on the frame or trunk.

The solution with mounting on the trunk will not be an acceptable option for everyone, since by means of its own significant weight, the battery moves the center of gravity, which affects the controllability of the electric bike.

Important! Some frames are made with special cavities for the battery.

Good hybrids are equipped with modern on-board PCs, which are necessary, first of all, for athletes or professional cyclists. On the screen of an electronic gadget with independent power, the settings for the movement of the bike hybrid and the health of the cyclist are shown.

Advantages of electric bicycles

 

Let's take a look at the main advantages of e-bikes.

Save time

Get to the bus stop, wait for public transport, sit down and maybe get stuck in a traffic jam. By the way, public transport is often delayed. The electric bike, on the other hand, you just need to get it and go wherever you want.

Sustainability

There is a point of view that one person is not able to change the ecological situation. This is not true. If each individual begins to think in this way, then the IVF situation is unlikely to be inclined towards positive transformations. That is why, even 1 person who chooses a bicycle as a means of transportation, and not a car, is able to change this.

Sport

All sports loads force the blood to circulate properly and warm up the muscle tissue. Even if the e-bike rides "on its own", this does not mean that there is little benefit from it. The cyclist receives a supply of joy hormones (endorphins) and energy. Helpful? Still would!

Disadvantages of electric bicycles

Like any other means of transportation, electric bicycles are not without drawbacks.

Price

In reality, everything lies in the model, but bicycle hybrids are somehow expensive. Of course, they cost less than a car, but still.

Theft

This type of transport is difficult to ignore, so there is a risk of property theft. More accurate!

Weight

The electric bike is heavy. For example, it will be very difficult for a girl to cope with it, in particular, if she needs to lower the transport, for example, from the 5th floor.
