Convert Bicycle to Electric Bike
After years of being theoretically exciting, electrically assisted bikes are finally becoming common in the United States — enough for people to start studying their many benefits. A new study by John MacArthur of OTREC at Portland State University offers some early results about the people e-bikes serve, the ways they get used and their possible role in reducing…

Last week, German automaker Audi made its first big splash into the E-bike world, releasing photos and videos of an exciting lightweight prototype electric stunt bike that may be among the most ambitious projects introduced in this space to date.

However, 95% of time spent biking, both for e-bike and conventional bike, were considered to be MVPA. E-biking were faster than…
Electric Bicycle Homemade
Electric bikes are a new and promising alternative form of urban transportation. They provide all the advantages of a regular bicycle: fun exercise, free parking, zero emissions, and freedom from gridlock, while eliminating one of the bicycle s more serious drawbacks, lack of power. Imagine pedalling up a hill as comfortably as riding down, that s what the e-bike…
Electric Power for Bicycles
This is perhaps one of the most often asked questions I get from people looking to build or buy their first ebike. There are many different electric bicycle power ratings out there which can be confusing to a beginner. 250 watt, 500 watt, 1, watt, 36V, 48V….. what does it all mean?! Well the first thing to know is that not all electric bicycles are created equally…
Fastest Electric Bicycle in the world
Last year, Specialized made waves in the bike world with the introduction of the Turbo, an electric bike with a top-speed of 28 miles per hour. It was the world’s fastest e-bike—too fast, everyone thought, for the U.S., where the legal limit for e-bikes is 20 mph. This weekend, the Turbo goes on sale at Specialized dealers in the U.S. How’s that possible? No…
Ladies Electric Bicycle
Some of us live with chronic pain but yet we want to maintain an active lifestyle. My name is Amberlee and I’m a customer service representative with LEED.

To make a long story short it put me on the couch for a few months and I was fortunate enough to find quick relief through…

Electric Bicycle Dublin
As a manager at Greenaer, Ireland’s leading electric-bicycle store, I get asked the same questions all the time from customers. It’s amazing how many false assumptions still exist in the Irish market with regard to electric bicycles. Compared to countries like Germany and The Netherlands, where 1 in 5 bikes sold are electric, Irish cyclists are just beginning…

Mountain Electric Bicycle
Specialized CEO and founder Mike Sinyard is no stranger to skepticism. When the company’s Stumpjumper, the first mass-produced mountain bike, hit the market in the early 1980’s, plenty of people wondered if it would go down in history as fad or failure. But the bike became wildly popular, created a new legion of bike riders and set the table for Specialized s…

New Electric Bicycle
Photo Credit Getty Images Gretchen Reynolds on the science of fitness. In the Tour de France, equipping your bike with a small electric motor is called mechanical doping, and is considered cheating.

Bicycle Powered Electricity
An NPR listener (with what may be the best Twitter handle ever — Booky McReaderpants) inquired whether a home can be powered by bicycle-powered generator. It s an interesting issue about energy and the modern world. And the short answer comes from just running the numbers. A typical house in the U.S. uses about 1, kilowatt-hours of energy in a month. So — to…

Press the throttle a little for slow assist and a full throttle will help…
Bosch Electric Bicycle
As I rode around New York on a bicycle with Bosch s electric power-assist system, I couldn t help but feel the boost of energy every time I turned the pedals, which helped me zip through traffic like a deranged bike messenger, all without breaking a sweat. But is the avoidance of pit stains enough of a reason to drop more than $4, on a bicycle? Geared for professionals…
Electric Bicycle Comparison
For some cyclists, the idea of an electric bike – even a so-called ‘pedelec’ that supplements pedal power rather than replacing it – will always be cheating. On the other hand, what if having a little help, like a permanent breeze at your back, could open up a whole new world of cycling possibilities? UPDATE: We have a much newer version of this article: Best…
