When purchasing an electric bike, battery range should be one of the main considerations.

A bike with ample battery capacity allows riders to ride further without becoming fatigued or sweaty during long rides.

E-bikes are similar to regular bikes but with an electric motor powered by a rechargeable battery and activated when pedaled.

E-bikes are generally classified as bicycles rather than mopeds or motorcycles and can typically be used on bike paths and roads in most jurisdictions.

Micah Toll of Electrek, an online site dedicated to all things related to electric bicycles (ebikes), describes getting an ebike as an excellent decision for healthier, greener transportation that's more enjoyable than riding buses or subways.
