As motor and battery technology has become tougher, lighter weight and more powerful, electric mountain bikes have become a reality and are now widely accepted worldwide. In this video I explain what an electric mountain bike is and try to answer some general ebike questions including:
- How fast can an electric bike go? Class 1 is 20 mph with pedal assist only, Class 2 is 20 mph with throttle and Class 3 is up to 28 mph but tends to be more restricted by trails
- How far can an electric mountain bike go? Depending on the battery pack and motor power output (along with terrain, wind and rider weight) most can reach 20+ miles per charge
- How long does it take to charge? Usually you can fill a 500 watt battery within six hours, the first two hours charge much faster because the cells are not being actively balanced so expect 50%+
- Are electric bikes allowed on mountain bike trails? Are they legal? In many situations they are allowed anywhere a traditional bicycle is allowed as long as they are Class 1 (pedal assist up to 20 mph)
- How heavy are electric mountain bikes? The bike I showed in this video, the 2016 IZIP E3 Peak, weighs 49 pounds but the battery and wheels are removable for easier transport which combined weigh roughly 10 pounds
- How loud are the? Depending on the motor used, electric mountain bikes tend to be very quiet, often the noise generated by the tires on the trail at medium speed are equal to the sound volume of the motor
