It&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An E-Bike is a bicycle equipped with a small motor. You can pedal an e-bike, but you won\u2019t have to pedal hard. Newer versions are lightweight, attractive, and more powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><strong>PROS OF AN E-BIKE<\/strong>:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<li>Gets you outside<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps you climb steep hills with its small motor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improves your balance and mobility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is a good low-impact exercise<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improves cognitive function and stimulates the mind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is a great way to green your transportation.

The average cost of an e-bike is between $550-$1,500 depending on the type of bike you buy. More expensive e-bikes can cost as much as $8,000. It\u2019s a good idea to rent one from a bike-share and try it out before you buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><strong>BIKE CLASSIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<li><em>Class 1:<\/em> has only pedal assistance up to 20 mph.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Class 2:<\/em> has pedal assistance + throttle assistance (ride without the need for pedaling) up to 20 mph\/<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Class 3:<\/em> has pedal assistance + throttle assistance up to 28 mph<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><strong>TYPES OF E-BIKES<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"margin-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<li><em>Cruiser bikes<\/em>: Riding on bike trails and paths.
