Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is an electric cycle and how does it differ from a regular bicycle?
An electric cycle, also known as an e-bike, is a bicycle equipped with an integrated electric motor that provides pedal assistance to make cycling easier. Unlike regular bicycles, electric cycles offer power assistance while pedaling, reducing effort required for acceleration, climbing hills, and maintaining speed. This makes them ideal for commuting, recreational riding, and for people who want the benefits of cycling with less physical strain. Electric bicycles typically feature rechargeable batteries, LED displays, and multiple riding modes. Browse our
