Introduction to Electric Bikes

The electric motor installed on this bicycle provides additional power assistance when the rider pedals.

Likewise, the introduction of electric bicycles is also becoming more massive when the business world gets involved in renting this transportation, such as Gotravela Indonesia in Bali and other rental businesses.

Let's look at history, the introduction of the first electric bicycle came after it was patented on December 31, 1895 by American inventor Ogden Bolton Jr. This design has a 10 volt battery installed that will provide approximately 100 amperes to the motor.

How e-Bikes Work

Electric bicycles or e-bikes use an electric motor powered by a battery installed in the bicycle. Batteries are usually charged using electricity from power sources that are generally available at home or public places. So this electric motorbike will provide additional encouragement when the rider pedals or uses the throttle.

The Motor Part automatically activates or provides power when there is pressure on the pedal or throttle, reducing the physical work required to pedal the bicycle.

Benefits of Electric Bikes

• Environmentally friendly: Electric bicycles reduce dependence on conventional motorized vehicles that use fossil fuels. By using electric power, electric bicycles can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, and help maintain environmental sustainability.
• Ease of Travel: Electric bicycles provide power assistance which makes it easier for the rider to cover longer distances or traverse hilly areas. The capabilities of electric bicycles also help overcome physical obstacles, such as strong winds or difficult terrain, that can make traveling by conventional bicycle more difficult.
• Growing new business sectors: The presence of e-bikes has triggered economic growth in this sector, the nation's children are competing to introduce electric bicycles and take part in producing this transportation. Brands are emerging, starting from Indobike, Strum and many more.

Types and Methods of Recharging Electric Bicycles

Lead-Acid Battery:

Lead-acid batteries are a type of battery that has long been used in electric vehicle applications.

They consist of Lead-acid cells containing liquid sulfuric acid as an electrolyte. Following are some Characteristics of Lead-acid batteries:

These batteries are generally cheaper than Lithium-ion batteries, making them an economical choice.

Additionally, lead-acid batteries tend to be heavier, which can affect their performance and resistance to the bike. However, lead acid batteries tend to have a shorter lifespan and more limited capacity compared to Lithium-ion battery.

Lithium-ion battery:

They are widely used in various Electronic Devices, including electric bicycles. Following are some Characteristics of Lithium-ion batteries:

Greater capacity: Lithium-ion batteries have a higher energy Capacity, enabling longer distances on electric bicycles.

Lighter and more compact: Lithium-ion batteries have a better power-to-weight ratio, making the bike lighter and easier to control.

The following are recommendations for safe refills for your electric bicycle:

1. Once removed, make sure the bicycle battery has cooled before recharging
2. Don't charge the battery more than 80% of its original capacity
3. Refill every 24 hours and keep an eye on the contents don't get below 25%
4. After the battery is charged, leave it for 10-15 minutes before plugging it back in
5. The electric bicycle is ready to use
