This of course depends on the motor power, the rider&rsquo;s weight and the conditions of use of the bike. The range of an electric bike also depends on the quality of the battery.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Is an electric bike heavier than a conventional bike? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The weight of an electric bike is generally between 20 and 25 kg. The extra weight compared with a conventional bike is about 6 kg. Although the e-bike is heavier than a traditional bike, this does not bother the rider, thanks to the electric assistance that amplifies the energy generated when pedalling.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Can the e-bike be ridden when the battery is flat? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Electric assistance does not alter the way the bike works. When the battery is flat, the e-bike behaves like a conventional bike: simply pedal to move forward. However, pedalling an <strong>electric bike<\/strong> with a flat battery requires more physical effort, since the e-bike is heavier than a conventional bike.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How do I choose the electric bike battery? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The higher the battery voltage, the more powerful the e-bike. The higher the amperage, the longer the range. To guarantee the durability and performance of your <strong>electric bike<\/strong>, choose a battery of at least 36 V and 8 Ah.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Can a conventional bike be converted into an electric bike? <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yes, provided the bike is sturdy enough to carry the weight of the battery and the <strong>electric motor<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/en\/electric-drive-kits\">Electric bike conversion kits<\/a> are sold on the market and are available in different power ratings. However, fitting an <strong>electric kit<\/strong> to a conventional bike requires some knowledge of electricity.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clear answers to the most frequent questions about electric bikes: battery range, weight, riding with a flat battery, choosing a battery and converting a classic bike.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[127],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-user-experience"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26458\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
