Electric bike

Electric assistance on e-bikes works through various components. Motors, batteries and sensors play their biggest role here.
How fast can you ride an electric bike?
For e-bikes, you can choose one with a top speed of 25 km/h or 45 km/h. If you choose an e-bike that can reach speeds up to 45 km/h, then you have chosen a high-speed e-bike. Such bicycles fall under the same legislation as mopeds.
