With so much buzz about the incredible benefits and fun an E-bike can provide, it can be hard to raise your hand and ask the simple questions that so many of us have. So, we’ve answered some of your most frequently asked questions about women’s electric bicycles below.
What does riding an E-bike feel like?
Imagine you are riding up a hill, and a giant hand is pushing you up the grade, or you have a MASSIVE tailwind. You are still working, but you make it up the hill using less energy, allowing you to ride further, longer and up bigger hills. Pretty Sweet!
How fast can an E-bike go?
The speed of your E-bike depends on how hard you pedal, the mode you are riding in, and is limited by regulations in your country.
While you are pedaling, the E-bike motor will assist you until you reach these maximum speeds. Once you reach these maximums, you can go faster, but your legs will have to do all the work; the motor will no longer provide assistance. Once your speed drops below the maximum speed, the motor assist will resume.
How much do E-bikes weigh?
The weight of Liv E-bikes vary, depending on the model, size, finish, hardware and accessories; and yes, an E-bike is most likely heavier than your traditional bike. However, the weight difference is more than offset with the boost you get from the pedal-assist motor and battery.
The most accurate way to determine any bike’s weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. All our E-bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.
Are E-bikes loud?
Absolutely not! E-bikes are surprisingly quiet. When the pedal-assist motor turns on as you turn the pedals, you will hear a low hum.
How do I buy an E-bike?
