The Versatility and Benefits of Electric-Assist Bicycles!

The electric-assist bicycle, also known as an E-bike or Pedelec, is a new type of bicycle that combines human pedaling with electric power assistance. It is different from traditional electric vehicles that rely solely on electric power and traditional bicycles that rely solely on human power.

There is still much controversy surrounding electric-assist bicycles in the cycling community. Many cyclists believe that only the elderly or those with physical limitations need electric assistance, and that those who want to exercise would not use it. From price and performance to bicycle culture, they have reservations about electric-assist bicycles and even believe that they should not be classified as bicycles. So, is the perception that electric-assist bicycles are "out of place" and "contrary to the original intention" really true? Who are electric-assist bicycles suitable for?

Firstly, the belief that electric-assist bicycles are "out of place" and "contrary to the original intention" is because electric assistance changes the traditional purely human-powered mode of cycling by adding an electric battery powered bicycle motor for assistance. For those who consider cycling a sport and enjoy the feeling of sweating and overcoming challenges to find pleasure, the emergence of electric-assist bicycles may seem like cheating in a race and deviating from the original purpose of cycling.

However, the purpose of electric assistance is to provide acceleration, not laziness. Electric-assist bicycles usually have multiple assist levels. For example, the Lvbu front wheel electric bike kit has three driving modes: human pedaling, electric assistance, and pure electric mode. The accompanying Lvbu Micro Power app offers five assist modes for commuting, exercise, leisure, climbing, and manual control. Each mode provides different levels of assistance, allowing riders to choose the mode that suits their needs. Instead of violating the original intention of cycling, electric-assist bicycles reflect the essence of sports - health and freedom. It allows riders to freely switch between different modes of transportation while still achieving exercise goals.

Secondly, electric assistance is not limited to "novice" or older riders, as commonly assumed. Electric-assist bicycles are suitable for various groups, including but not limited to the following:

Commuters: People who commute to work within a distance of approximately 20-30 kilometers can use electric-assist bicycles to exercise while saving time and energy. With an electric-assist bicycle, they can arrive at their destination faster and more comfortably without excessive fatigue or sweating. The Lvbu E-bike's commuting mode is specifically designed for commuting, providing a larger assist ratio (around 60%) to save more energy and allow riders to reach their destination quickly and enjoy their work or studies.

Long-distance cyclists: For those who enjoy long-distance cycling, electric assistance provides additional support, reducing fatigue and making the ride more comfortable. It gives riders more time to appreciate the scenery along the way while preserving energy to cover longer distances. The leisure mode of the Lvbu powerful 250 watt mini electric kit is suitable for long-distance rides. It uses a sinusoidal curve assist ratio, which periodically adjusts the load on the legs and knees, avoiding intense cycling and effectively relieving leg soreness and joint strain during the ride. It maintains a moderate cycling speed while achieving exercise goals.

Overweight individuals: Electric-assist bicycles can make cycling easier for people who are overweight, reducing pressure on the knees and other joints. For this group of people, using the Lvbu bicycle assist kits, they can switch to the exercise mode, which simulates three stages of exercise (warm-up, workout, recovery). It starts with a higher assist ratio for warm-up cycling, gradually reduces the assist ratio for workout cycling, and enters the recovery stage when the desired exercise level is reached. This mode prevents overexertion, controls the amount of exercise, and achieves more effective and healthier exercise, helping with weight loss.

Seniors: Electric-assist bicycles can make cycling easier for older individuals or those with physical limitations. The manual mode of the Lvbu electric powered bicycle kit is ideal for this group. It allows adjusting the assist level from 0 to 99. Seniors can set a lower assist level when they want to exercise and increase it when they feel tired. When they can't pedal anymore, they can switch to the maximum assist level of 99 and use pure electric riding mode.

Electric-assist bicycles are suitable for a wider range of scenarios than people imagine: whether it's off-road trails or urban roads, there are products available to fit your needs. For example, the Lvbu brushless bicycle motor kit from the KD car package series allows free adjustment of assist levels. Its entire electric drive system comes pre-assembled, making it easy for riders to upgrade their bicycles to electric-assist without having to search for various components. The overall configuration is simple, including the electric powered bicycle wheel, electric bike kit lithium battery, and controller. The installation process involves replacing the original bicycle wheel with the motorized wheel, installing the battery pack under the seat, and installing the controller at the bottom of the frame, then connecting the wiring. The modified bicycle looks almost the same as the original one but can be upgraded to an electric-assist bicycle. Additionally, it offers two options for assist range: 90km and 120km, making cycling more accessible and reducing barriers for more people who want to join the cycling community.

In conclusion, the perception that electric-assist bicycles are "out of place" and "contrary to the original intention" is not entirely true. Electric assistance in cycling does not detract from the essence of the sport but rather provides riders with options for different modes of transportation while still achieving exercise goals. Electric-assist bicycles are suitable for a wide range of individuals, including commuters, long-distance cyclists, overweight individuals, and seniors. They offer convenience, comfort, and additional support that can make cycling more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
