An electric bike is a standard bicycle that has electric components equipped on it. An electric bike will function normally like a regular bicycle. An electric bike will pedal like a regular bicycle, handle like a regular bicycle, and by and large an electric bike will use the same same parts as a regular bicycle. An electric bike is meant to be thought of and used as a bicycle, not as a motorcycle. An electric bike is meant to augment human power, not completely replace it. An electric bike is not about traveling at high speeds.

Here are the advantages of electric bike:

1. Faster Travel
2. Safety
3. Hill Climbing
4. Personal Fitness
5. High Resale Value

If you want to import ebikes from China, here are the tips:

HOW TO GET THE BEST FROM YOUR BATTERY

SLA: Like a car battery your lead acid battery takes a few cycles to get to peak performance, once there it should be topped up as often as possible. The reason you get a 3 year warranty with many car batteries is that they are being charged every time you run the engine and this means they rarely experience ‘deep discharges'.

Nickel: NiCd and NiMh batteries are tremendously robust; they can deliver high amounts of current and be ‘exercised' back to life when they start to die. As with most batteries the most important thing is to keep them topped up, however they are known to suffer from ‘memory effect' or ‘floating voltage'. To address this problem they need to have periodic full discharges and as they age the number of full discharges required each time increases. For a NiCd battery this period is every month and for a NiMh it is every 3 months.

Lithium: No matter which type of exotic lithium chemistry is used the battery maintenance follows a simple rule: keep it topped up! A lithium battery that will perform say 500 full cycles may well perform 1,500 or 2,000 half cycles. The trick is to get a bigger battery than you need for your journey or carry the (usually small) charger with you and take advantage of ‘opportunistic charging'. Reducing deep discharge cycles increase lifetime and performance over the lifetime.
