Riding e-bikes is super-easy. Once you get the hang of the pedal-assist levels and the throttle, riding an electric bicycle will become second nature. In this video, I'll teach you all you need to know about how to ride an e-bike in just five minutes.
If you're not sure how e-bikes work, it will all make sense after you finish watching this video. In addition to the basic how-tos, I included valuable pieces of advice on how to maximize your pedaling efficiency and battery range. Find out how to use an e-bike on hills, flat roads, and downhills to always get the most out of it. It's so easy you'll ask yourself why you didn't do it earlier.

Thanks So much! This was a great help. I was kind of hesitant, with much trepidation, regarding riding. Being 70 years young, I'm just trying to understand it all and be safe, Not a hazard. All EXCELLENT advice! Now I feel prepared! Only rode 2 or 3 times last year because uncertain how to shift gears correctly. I believe, if I ever get a break from babysitting grandkids, taking people to work, helping neighbors, etc, just maybe I can find time for ME! 👍♥️😊

I know this is an old video but thank you. I am looking at getting into cycling again (first time since I was a child, many years ago) - I am leaning towards an e-bike. Great video.

I love peddle assist. It makes it more fun to bike and you can bike longer. Sure it's less excerise than a normal bike. But if you bike longer and more regularly i think it's overall better for your health. I normally just have it off or at level 1. Espacially on flats or downhill. And just turn it up abit if i reach a nasty hill or if it's a long slope.

I'm 65 and have no idea how to operate an e bike, I just bought one from amazon and this video tells me lots thank you

@johnryan5497 6 месяцев назад

I didn't learn how to ride, only some logical ideas on how to save energy. I wanted to know what all the buttons do, or how to change gears, or how to use the brakes, etc. adjust the seat, fold the bike, etc. Please make another video to really teach us how to ride an electric bike. Thanks

3:50, thanks for clearing that up for me . Around my way in New York City, those delivery guys go all over the place on cruise ( very little or no pedaling) dropping off their food items. they must put a 1,000 miles or more on a 40 hour, plus, work week who knows.

@TTT69304 Год назад

I love the options. I ride a Heybike ranger pretty well everywhere around where we live. Got great bike lane system. Ill use the car if kids or wife are coming but usually i just peddle it out. If its juat the grocery store a couple miles away, i usually rely entirely on the throttle. If im going all the way across town, i turn odd assist on flats and peddle it then use the assist on hills. I tend to off and on whether peddling with assist or throttle. Mine, the motor continues for like 2 seconds after you stop peddling then it shuts down to a coast so its a nice balance.

Thank you for the wonderful advice for 'Newbee' like me, it is greatly appreciated !!! Now i have to decide between 'Half/Half' tire (Street and Terrain) or FAT TIRES !?!?! Cheers !!!

@gibson4676 Месяц назад

I’m an experienced Road (racer) cyclist with a history of long endurance rides. In recent years, I’ve developed a severely arthritic right knee which was becoming more and more painful over the last 6 years. Cycling especially painful on long step gradient hills. Just bought my first pedal assist e-bike (UK) and first ride out today. Only 7 gears as opposed to 20 but realise you use those gears differently with certainly less changes. Level 3 (my top level) eats those hills and saves the knee. My e-bike will keep me cycling longer 👍

Great info! I just ordered my ebike and was wondering how to combine using regular gears in combination with the PAS. I have been riding a 21 gear hybrid bike but in my 73rd year I wanted a little more help on the hills!

@paulgoldfinger5692 Год назад

As a beginner I find your video to be very good. But I would have appreciated more details on how to deal with turns, U turns and braking with the right hand when you are relying on the throttle.

@tranquility9325 2 года назад

I'm going to try one soon. I've never been on one. I cannot do a regular bike bec my legs are weak and I have fibromyalgia. So soon I will try and will watch this vid a few times before trying it in real life lol. Ty.

@LittlePieceOfHeaven.65 Год назад

Do you always have to start your bike riding in the 1 or 2 gear setting or can you start off in whatever gear it was last left in without putting the chain, etc in jeopardy ?

@96pershing Месяц назад

You explained a lot thanx

@timklein5850 2 года назад

Also I have a question. Is it bad for the ebike to use it just like a regular bicycle all the time?

@smileychess Год назад

I can't think of any technical reason this would be bad. The bike itself will be heavier than most other bikes you've ever ridden, so it'll be a workout. Also, if you go a very long time without using the battery, it will naturally discharge over time. If you leave it fully discharged for a long time, then that degrades the max capacity of the battery. So it's best not to go months or years without using & charging it.

I have an electric bike with 2 batteries ( Standard 48V 13ah and Extended Range 48V 21ah ). My question is regarding the 48V 21ah Extended range battery which goes from 50km to 90km in miles. How can I maximize my miles from 50km to 90km when using the 48V 21ah battery, if I'm using both PAS and the gear shifter if I want to reach to it's maximum number for range.

@achakma76 2 года назад

what bike were you using in the video

@eldiablo3794 2 года назад

Do you know if there are any e-bikes on the market that will recharge your battery as you pedal? That would be a cool feature to have. When your battery gets to a certain level, switch to pedal mode to convert the energy to battery power.. but then you would probably need a generator on the bike which would probably cost more money and add to the weight. Also, I'm looking at getting an e-bike but I'm a heavier guy. I'm in the 275lb range. Can all e-bikes handle that weight range? Any brands you can recommend checking out besides schwinn? Thank you.

@ebicycles6686 2 года назад

Engwe Engine Pro for example and its i-ERS “Range Booster” which as advertised on their website, charges the battery when “sliding” downhill in pa 0 while coasting at 16kph or faster.

@helenHTID Год назад

Yes there are ebike motors capable of regen, if you are fine with the resistance when coasting and the percentage of power you will get back... Which will vary between systems but is never much, I guess it could mean that extra few percentage on a journey that gets you over the line so to speak. Oh And it saves on brake pads is a bonus lol

@FRamirez1A Год назад

Silly question: so in this kind of bike, the bike gears are useless? If you are in pedal assist, changing the gears in the bike makes no difference? Thanks for your time!

@Roboprogs Год назад

Gears are very useful. They help you provide more push from a stop or up a hill, and to go faster on the flat. If you have a mid drive, which help turn the chain, instead of being inside the wheel hub, it gives the motor differing leverage as well.

@uknownothingoohkilledem5393 Год назад

could you bring a large care battery charger with you to charge the bike ?

@Roboprogs Год назад

If your bike has an external battery, see if you can buy a second battery. Take the plug-in charger with you??? Lead-acid batteries are very heavy. Edit: you can’t charge a lithium battery from 12 volts, so you would also need the bike’s charger and an inverter to run it.

@GarlicMuffin Год назад

Does anybody know if the speedrid e bike has throttle, it has 500W.

@BodaciousWench 2 года назад

I was hoping it had something about shifting.

@smileychess Год назад

I'm still new to this topic, but my understanding is that most ebikes have a single gear, so there's no shifting, at least not in the traditional sense.

@Roboprogs Год назад

@@smileychessonly the small bikes that look like scooters are single speed. Edit: Mostly. There are a few “cruiser” bikes.

@smileychess Год назад

@@Roboprogs - You're right. Soon after I wrote that comment, I actually replaced my car with an e-bike which has 7 gears (from Velotric). It's fantastic.

When you passed the person walking, you did not announce your presence. A simple "Passing on your left" is common courtesy. Also, going off trail is not appropriate, as it deteriorates the sides of the trails over time as more riders think it's OK...

Throttle only ebikers can pedal as much as they want. I pedal hard when I feel like it which is most of the time. Class 2 throttle only give you high intentionality and no trashed drive train elements. All these folks trashing their drive trains with middrives alas..if they only realized.

@gibson4676 Месяц назад

Pedal assist only in U.K. and restricted to 15.5 mph. Throttle e-bikes are illegal and considered a ‘mechanically propelled motor vehicle’ and can be seized by the police as well as a charge for no insurance & otherwise than in accordance with a driving licence …

@Capitalstankenthusiast Год назад

its just riding a bike just a little more advanced

@thomasmedeiros5722 2 года назад

So if your e bike can travel at 20 mph on throttle it is motorcycle/ motorized vehicle that should not be riding on a bike path. Like what could possibly go wrong when you have people with little or no bicycle experience riding motorized bicycles. Just Saying

@BadlyBentPub 2 года назад

In Ontario, Canada, if it has a throttle it is considered a different class of e-bike completely (class 2) and is subject to many more laws and regulations than a simple pedal-assist only.

@barbarabuford5795 2 года назад

He advised, if you see someone coming, the person riding the E bike or motorcycle should get off the path and allow walkers to pass! Makes sense to me.

@thomasmedeiros5722 2 года назад

@@barbarabuford5795 The problem is that you can’t rely on people doing the right thing. I observed a guy on a class 2 e bike riding on a path down to the beach that had many beach goers walking and pulling wagons with beach chairs and kids. It is a basic rule that you walk you bike in these areas. This guy just weaved his way through the crowd. This was in Hilton Head, SC where most people ride single speed cruiser bikes on flat bike / walk paths.

@dennisluz6453 Год назад

I gave up watching this after 1 minute. You should start from a STATIONARY position, spend one minute to point out the controls and explain each function. Next you should show hot to START the bike safely. Finally, narrate while riding. Sorry but I was disappointed.

@dennisluz6453 Год назад

I would start (being stationary) by pointing out the controls and what they do, i.e., power (throttle), pedal assist function, gears and when to use high/low gear. Also mention that one can cycle using three methods: straight pedaling (just like a regular bike, and without power), PAS and throttle with or without PAS. The foregoing could be explained in 2-3 minutes and then you could discuss the rest of your narrative.
