Function of Pedal on Electric bikes

   Everyone knows that pedas are important parts of a bicycle(bike). But what about electric bikes?Many people think they are useless for electric bikes, but others do not think so.

  First of all, let's talk about the development history of electric bikes in China. The early start of mass production of electric bikes was probably in the late 1990s. At that time, electric bikes were mostly improved from bikes, and were always affected by bikes in terms of function or appearance. So in those days, electric bikes were all equipped with pedals. Because the battery technology and motor technology at that time were not very mature, the pedal still had a great role.

 But with the development of the industry, the appearance design of electric vehicles is becoming more and more different. They began to break away from the bicycle. Some small electric bicycles still have pedals, but they have no effect at all. Others are developing towards motorcycles. We call them electric motorcycles, and they no longer have pedals.In recent years, due to the demand of policies, electric bikes are required to have pedals. Those without pedals are either managed as motorcycles or not allowed.We make electric motorcycles very small and equip them with pedals so that they can be allowed. But their appearance is a little strange, and the foot pedal has become a form, which has no effect at all.

  Now electric bikes with pedals are mainly divided into three categories. The first is small electric motorcycles, whose pedals are only used to match the requirements of laws and regulations. The pedal itself doesn't work at all. The second is small electric bicycles. Their pedals are also designed to meet the requirements of laws and regulations, but they can play a certain role and are not particularly comfortable to use. The third is electric bike, or power assisted electric bicycle. This kind of pedal, like the pedal of a bicycle, can be used for riding and is an essential part. I will bring pictures of these threes in the article.
