The Impact of Brake Systems on Electric Bike Prices
The added “boost” from your battery and motor, while enhancing your riding experience, also introduces a significant factor when it comes to halting your journey. On average, e-bikes clock in at 8.3 miles per hour, nearly 2 mph faster than a conventional bike.

Now, consider this increased speed, coupled with the additional weight from the 1 ..read more
