In reply to Martin Wynne. Lithium ion batteries are the standard for e-bikes, so charging acts in the same way you're accustomed to with other electronics. Each e-bike or aftermarket system will come with it's own charger, which is made to connect to a standard wall outlet and has a DC adapter and voltage reduction before delivering power to the battery. Many e-bikes have a removable battery, which usually requires a key, so the battery can be easily brought inside for charging.

I came looking for information on how bike batteries are charged, but was disappointed here.

In reply to jhoblho. I have a paratrooper. I put a Luna Cycle BBSHD 1000 with a 52volt 13.5 Amp battery on it. Changed bars to Jones high loop bars. 48 tooth front sprocket. The battery is on the rear rack. It is very comfortable. My range is about 50 miles.

im seeing a trend, most mid or hub powered bikes really dont have a big difference, its mostly what your wattage is the motor can take. 500 watts or 800 watts mid motor or bug will provide the same power, maybe mid motors since on the crank will dampen the cadence making it a little easier to peddle and not skid out of rear tire but thats about it, not much difference, ive tried every bike and find they are all the same

In reply to Bruce Lamont. Hub motor kits are the easiest way to convert a non-electric bike to pedal assist. I recommend finding a local bike shop that specializes in electric, and talking to them about the conversion kits they offer.

I have a new 7speed cruiser style bike for comfort, but the super low gear for hill climbing is too low to maintain my proper balance. I am 75 year old male. What kind of kit would work for me

I don’t know the specific classification and working principle of electric bicycle until I read this article. It’s really a good article.
