Which is better an electric bike or an ebike?
Even two ebikes that both claim to be the same power or ‘wattage’ level can actually be fairly different ‘under the hood’. I’ve written specifically about the myth of the ebike wattage, but I’ll cover it briefly here. Generally speaking, the higher the wattage, the higher your electric bicycle power will be.
How does the weight of a bike affect performance?
E-bike weight has less impact on performance than you think! The weight of a bike has little to do with the power requirements for riding. Why? Bikes usually weigh much less than their rider, making differences in bike weight irrelevant. Physics of riding a bicycle doesn’t change for lighter-weight, lower-power bikes.
Why do I need more power on my ebike?
Trying to ride an underpowered ebike up a steep hill, especially with a heavy rider, can risk causing damage to the ebike by burning out the motor or connectors. If you feel like your power is disappearing as you ride up a hill, that’s a sign the ebike is working too hard you need a higher power setup. Lastly, think about cargo.

Why is a bike faster than a run?
Humans can bike faster than they can run a simply because bicycles are more efficient than our own legs. A while back, scientists did an efficiency test to see which animals could cover a kilometer with less energy.
Which is more efficient, a cyclist or a runner?
Simply stating that “ cyclists go faster and use less energy than runners because cycling is more efficient than running ” is a tautology: it does not explain anything but simply restates the question in a different way. So, let’s have a look at how different are walking, running and cycling.
Which is better a mountain bike or a road bike?
Over a long distance you can expect to cycle over 2 miles further each hour on a road bike compared to a mountain bike.
What’s the best power level for an electric bike?
Nearly every retail electric bicycle and ebike conversion kit is listed at a specific power level, such as a “500 watt electric bike” or a “250 watt ebike conversion kit”, yet often this power rating is misleading. When it comes to choosing a motor for your e-bike, bigger isn’t always better.
