Electric bikes are different from motorcycles or mopeds, which rely on motorized power; they are bicycles that can be pedaled with – or without – help from an electric motor. Riding an e-bike feels like riding a normal bike with a strong wind behind you; the motor just helps you go faster or climb hills. Unlike mopeds, e-bicycles are usually permitted on bike paths and they can’t travel faster than 20mph.

Their speed usually does not go above 20 mph They aren’t usually allowed to be ridden in bike lanes Their battery runs out quickly when ridden against the wind They are usually heavier than normal bikes
