E-bikes are just like a traditional bicycle, but with an electric motor. The rider can control how much electric power they want using pedal assist, which is a mode to help you pedal faster and easier. Generally, e-bike power ranges from 250 to 900 watts with an average maximum speed of 28 mph. Professional road racing cyclist Lance Armstrong can pedal at an average of 400 watts, and with little to no effort on an e-bike, you can easily pedal faster than Armstrong!
