FAQ
Q. What's electric bike?
An electric bike uses a battery to drive an electric motor to push you along. To be legally considered as an ordinary bicycle an electric bike must have pedals, weigh less than 40 kg, have a motor less than 250 Watts and restricted to 25 kph (15.5 mph). All 3E Electric bikes conform to this specification.
Q. How far can it go?
Using a standard 10AH battery, the throttle range (100% power) is up to 20 miles. We have performed many times at an average speed of 14.3 mph.
Using mostly pedal assist, we did achieve 47 miles. With the new mega range battery, we achieved 85 miles without throttle.
