Do I need to pedal on an eBike or is it fully electric?

Yes, you do need to pedal on an eBike, as they are designed to assist your pedaling rather than replace it entirely. eBikes are not fully electric; they are equipped with an electric motor that provides assistance as you pedal, making the riding experience easier and more efficient. This means that you can choose the level of assistance you want, enabling you to pedal with minimal effort if desired. The electric motor is activated when you start pedaling and senses the amount of force you apply, providing a boost accordingly. Some eBikes also have a throttle option for additional power without pedaling, but pedaling is still required for proper functionality.
