E-bike, what I want to suggest to you

we love e-bikes we love how accessible they make cycling and we love how sophisticated the technology they use is. I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about e-bikes and how to buy one. I'm going to talk about Road e-bikes, hybrid e-bikes, mountain e-bikes. 

E-bike advantages

Safe speed

Legally, all e-bikes in Europe are capped at 25 kilometers an hour. So above that limit, you will not receive any more support, this is what's known as pedal assist. It's safe.

Good points for e-bike

I'll talk about it more when I get onto the different motor systems later. It is what generates that feeling of acceleration when you start pedaling. You also get great variation in different models including mountain e-bikes road e-bikes and hybrid e-bikes. 

The mountain e-bikes have higher torque ratings, which are really important when you're riding off-road and up steep climbs. The hybrid bikes are also equally likely to benefit from increased torque because you get a bigger acceleration. 

It's really useful if you're starting from stopped at traffic lights or if you're riding in traffic. They also offer loads of advantages because you can ride to work. You'll be less sweaty, or you can commute further distances. When you're cycling uphill, the e-bike has replicated a ride feel as close to a normal bike as possible. It depends on motor placement, power torque delivery, and pedaling resistance.

Motor

There are a couple of things to look out for when it comes to motor placement on E-bikes. 

The first one is what's called hub drive. That's where the motor is in the rear hub on the rear wheel. The battery lives in the bike's down tube. If you want to create a normal-looking bike(e-bike), then it can also be a lightweight system, the second system is a mid-drive motor. They look bulkier, but they benefit from placing the weight lower down. It can have a really positive effect on the e-bike's handling. 

Its performance, the other great benefit of this system, is they work in synergy with your gears. Which can increase the overall efficiency of the system. Some brands prioritize a lower torque, this is to create a normal riding feel. This means the e-bike will not surge or accelerate as quickly when you start pedaling. Then you have less acceleration you'll have. That means you have to put more effort into yourself, especially when going uphill. 

It's something of a hot topic. The amount in E-bikes will typically have a much larger battery capacity than any road e-bike. This is because of their use on off-road and steep Technic called terrain. The fact that you'll never really ride above 25 kilometers an hour. So there'll be a more constant use of Systems was bigger battery capacity, including Shimano steps. There are trade-offs larger capacity batteries will weigh more. So road e-bikes will often spec a smaller capacity battery, they also want to prioritize keeping the e-bike's weight down.

E-bike security advice

A helmet for your e-bike

There is no legal ruling that says you have to wear a helmet when you ride a bike. But we would always recommend that you do and if you're going to be riding your e-bike for commuting. There are some really nice styled helmets that look really nice and provide lighting solutions all the surrounding way. https://www.coswheel.com/ebike-t20

Some necessary tools for your e-bike.

We would also recommend that you get yourself some tools. In case you have a mechanical when you're riding, as standard, we'd recommend you buy a multi-tool hand pump. And a set of tire levers, so you can swap out a tube should you get a puncture. 

The global potential of e-bike

Hoverboards, skateboards, scooters, motorcycles, mopeds, unicycles, tricycles, you name it, we've ridden it. But I'm here to tell you why I think electric bikes are more than just a fun tech fad. I think they could be the future of transportation. But that said, there's a lot out there, and you don't want to get fooled.

So here's some stuff you need to know about e-bikes. E-bikes are not new. They've been around for decades. And if you live in China or Europe, it's a good bet that e-bikes are already a way of life for you.

In Europe, for example, e-bikes have long helped older adults maintain independence and are just now blowing up with younger riders. But in the U.S., e-bikes are still pretty niche. Compared to more bike-friendly countries like the Netherlands. The sales of electric bikes in the Netherlands are more sold than regular bikes. Overall, experts predict that sales will hit $23.8 billion by 2025 in the world.

The basic topic about e-bike

The e-bike will save your power

Before we understand why electric bikes are the future of transportation, let's talk about the basics. So generally speaking, e-bikes are bicycles with a battery-powered assist that comes through when you pedal or use a throttle. Pushing on the pedal activates a small motor that gives you a boost. So when you're zipping up a hill or cruising over rough terrain, you don't have to break a sweat. Twisting a throttle does the same thing but without pedaling.

Different types of motor for ebike

There are two types of motors. One is the mid-drive which is located in the middle of the electric bike, usually between the two pedals. And then there's the hub motor which is located in the center of either the front or the rear wheel. There are pros and cons to both types of motors. Hub drives have been around forever and tend to be cheaper and more versatile. 

They're excellent motors for anyone needing a reliable e-bike for long, most flat commuting. Mid-drives are usually smaller and lighter and can allow for greater torque than hub drives making them well work, suited for hilly areas and off-road use. Their center position on the bike also creates a more balanced ride.

And changing a tire on a mid-drive bike is usually less of a pain in the ass. E-bikes also tend to use different types of sensors to determine how best to dole out power. There are two types, torque sensors, and cadence sensors. Torque sensors regulate the motor based on how hard you're pushing the pedals, while cadence sensors will work off of how fast you pedal.

Good bikes use torque sensors while the low-enders have cadence only, and a lot of bikes use both. I highly recommend testing out both types of motors before buying an e-bike to see which is the best for you.

Restrictions on electric bike in different area

The limited of motor for e-bike

Think about how you plan on using the bike. Commuting, off-roading, touring? The better e-bikes brands usually match the appropriate motor placement with the type of bike they're selling.

Most mountain bikes come with mid-range motors, and most commuter bikes are hub-based. Now let's talk power. Manufacturers will often offer power ratings for a variety of reasons.

Until recent power ratings were a way for bike companies to dance around Europe's strict importation laws which prohibited anything stronger than 250 watts.

But now they allow the sale of bikes with way more powerful motors, which is good because it allows bikes to be seen as a viable alternative to cars.

Still, power ratings can be pretty subjective, and you can probably get away with just ignoring them.

Different riding modes for e-bike

Alright, let's talk classes. There are three classes of e-bikes in the U.S.

Class one is pedal to assist with no throttle.

Class two is throttle & assisted but with a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour.

In class three, it's pedal-assist only, no throttle, but with a maximum speed of 28 miles per hour.

In Europe, they only have two classes.

Class one, which is by far the most popular, has a maximum speed of 25 kilometers an hour with no helmet required.

Class two is 1,000 watt plus motors capable of going 45 kilometers an hour, require a helmet, and can't be ridden on bike paths. Alright, I promised to explain why I think that e-bikes are the future of transportation.

So here we go. First, it lowers the barrier to biking. So if you're someone who's older, or you find it hard to ride a bicycle, it lowers the barrier, and it's easier to justify getting on a bike and just riding. You're more likely to ditch your car or delete your Uber app if you know you're going to get to where you want to go without getting sweating and stressed out. 

Electric bike could also be used for business.

And look, if you're worried about electric bikes taking all the fun out of cycling, well, you're wrong. They're going to make our cities more livable, and they're going to help clear up traffic congestion. So as our cities are becoming more congested, some companies are turning to e-bikes to make their deliveries.

E-bikes are used by food delivery workers in some cities. UPS is using electric cargo bikes. German delivery company DPD is going to be using these cute-looking mini trucks. Those are e-bikes in disguise. E-bikes are changing the way that businesses are doing business. But more importantly, when you got to the office super quick, much faster than if you had taken the subway, and you weren't a sweaty, stressed-out mess when you arrived.

We see them more as recreation than as transportation. https://youtu.be/kBKdTtNMz2w Our streets are designed for cars, and pedestrians and bikers are just an afterthought. But e-bikes can open up a whole world, especially for people with different abilities. Look, they're not going to solve everything, but I can guarantee that once you start riding, you're not going to want to stop. Here I recommend our new model-T26, it is pretty amazing. Not only suitable for commuting but also all-terrain. https://www.coswheel.com/emtb-t26

E-bike, why you choose coswheel？

Today I present this exciting electric bike T20. It is selected as the Best Fat Tire E-bike of 2020 among other fat tire e-bikes. So if you want to know a little more about this amazing e-bike, stay there because I'll let you know more about it now:

It is not so simple to promote a new brand to the world. It requires a lot of research to let customers clearly understand who this company/manufacturer is. What products they have, the quality, technical support, all of that is super important for a new brand.

Coswheel is the manufacturer of T20, which was established in 2015. Coswheel is from China, which is the same country where there are installed several companies, even Huawei, and other brands like DJI with drones, BYD with electric buses. They are all brands with super cool products, a technological zone compared today to America. And if there's technology, innovation, and quality, of course, it matches with everyone.

That's why we now bring T20: just take a look at this e-bike.

E-bike-NOVEL design！

Electric bike frame

The T20 has a super bold design. Someone even says that it resembles a BMW. Right away we can see that it is a fat bike with a 20 by 4-inch tire rim. Made of aluminum, the frame is also the compartment of the battery, and the soldering all around the frame is extremely well finished.

Just below the frame, there is a small case, and it fits perfectly with your cell phone or a bottle. A very nice accessory that can be installed and which is sold separately is the rear rack. Remember, the T20 bike supports a weight of up to 120 kg.

Electric bike configuration

The T20 bike comes equipped with a daytime running light called DRL. Remember that BMW headlamp that stays on. It's exactly this front light you have on T20. On the back is the traditional brake light and also the right and left blinkers. 

The T20's LCD display is a complete onboard computer. It shows current speed, average speed the maximum speed reached on the trip, the battery level, the total mileage, and the mileage of the trip. 

The T20's seat is adjustable and is ideal for anyone who is 1.65m or more. And it's extremely comfortable, no need to use those foam caps, one thing is that it has a hook in the back for when you have to lift your bike, making it easy to carry. 

And since I'm talking about comfort, let's go for the suspension. T20 has a double damping system: the front suspension that absorbs the first impact and goes down any type of curb.

And the suspension of the frame that absorbs the remainder of the impact during the ride. And this dual suspension together with the fat tire and the comfort of the seat makes the riding experience of this amazing bike unmatched by any other electric bike.

And it's not over! If everything I've already said wasn't enough, T20 is still surprising. With a 500 Watt motor and 48 Volt battery, it reaches speeds up to 45 km/h, and some have managed to surpass that mark. 

E-bike-riding mode

The T20 acceleration can be triggered in three ways:

One is by the throttle itself.

The other with an assisted pedal.

Or 100% off and it becomes a conventional bike.

In throttle mode, there are 5 speeds set by the LCD panel.

In the assisted pedal function, the T20 offers the 7-speed Shimano gearbox. The speed of each gear depends on a few factors, including your energy, whether it is a slope or not. And also from the initial 5-speed programming.

And 100% off mode displaying zero there on the panel, the speed depends essentially on your physical effort. After all, the T20 becomes a conventional bike. In gear 1 you can ride effortlessly up to 12 km/h. This increases, in gear 2: 14 km/h, in gear 3: 16 km/h. And so on, whoever rides a bike with a gear knows that the higher gears keep getting more difficult, harder, but then you can reach at gear 7 more than 35 km/h with some effort.

e-bike-battery

The T20 battery, as I said earlier, is stored in the frame of the bike and is removable, locked with a key, in other words, you can remove it any time put to recharge. Afterward, return to the bike so that you can ride in peace.

The T20 battery is available in 3 versions:The 10Ah version, the 15Ah version, and the 20Ah version.

e-bike-range

In the 10Ah version, the T20 offers a range of up to 80 km with a single charge in pedal-assist mode. Note that when we talk about range, we have to always consider consumption factors, the driver's weight, speed, and even slope may interfere with battery consumption.

In throttle mode, the 10Ah version will deliver up to 40 km of range.

The 20Ah version, on the other hand, has twice the range of the 10Ah counterpart, in other words, it can reach up to 160 km of range in assisted mode and up to 80 km of range in throttle mode. 

E-bike-fun idea

Look, one of the nicest things about T20 is the countless possibilities it offers for those who want to enjoy a ride. For example, just to get an idea, we're speaking of 5 speeds and 7 gears. When you combine speed 1 for instance which is slower, with gear 7 which is theoretically harder. You have an extremely comfortable, soft performance, you can easily reach 25 km/h.

Or say, you want to sprint and a little more power you can set a higher speed, speed 5 for example, and a slightly lower gear. If you're already tired and don't want to ride anymore, no problem. Just go on the accelerator, and it will bring you comfort. And even if you don't want any help, you want to ride a regular bike:

Turn the motor off, set speed to 0 and your T20 turns into a conventional bike and then you will enjoy the ride.

The last thing I want to tell you, is such a perfect electric bike, why don't you try it?
