Other
Considerations
Recently in the United States, legislation was passed that
set the maximum speed of an electric bike at 20 mph without
pedaling. However, with pedaling you can attain speeds of
well over 20 mph. There are many companies that manufacture
and sell electric bikes so specifications vary, but typically,
the bikes are powered by 150-400 watt motors. Also, the
bikes can cover a distance of between 10 and 25 miles on
level pavement before needing a recharge. Depending on the
type and size, recharging the battery can take between 3
and 6 hours.
