Basic Knowledge About E-cycle Motor

When someone hears an electric bicycle, the first image they imagine may be a scooter or an electric motorcycle, but they actually look very different. Imagine an ordinary bicycle, and then add several electronic components to it, such as a motor, battery, and controller, all of which are seamlessly integrated into the design. These projects form the basis of all electric bicycles on the market!

1. The working principle of electric bicycles

The pedals and handles of electric bicycles are just like ordinary bicycles. In general, electric bicycles also use the same components. Electronic components are designed to enhance manpower, not completely replace it. Electric bicycles make obstacles such as hills and headwinds easier to pass, and allow you to go further without getting tired.

2. Understand the e-cycle motor

E-cycle motor has a variety of rated power, from 200W to 1000W or higher. The legal limit in the United States is 750W, though different states can set their own standards. Think of this limitation of e-cycle motor as horsepower. Higher power means that the bicycle will be able to pull more weight more easily, but at the cost of using more battery capacity. Therefore, the 750W motor consumes battery power much faster than the 250W e-cycle motor, but the power will be greater.

However, e-cycle motor also needs to consider another factor. The design and location of the e-cycle motor play an important role in the way the electric bicycle works. The most common type of e-cycle motor is called a hub motor. It is usually integrated in the rear or front wheels. When engaged, it pulls or pushes the wheel. Although the system works well, it is not connected to the bicycle gear, and it loses efficiency on hillsides and variable terrain.
