You may have heard about e-bikes. Maybe you’re wondering: what’s it like to ride an electric bike

If we had to answer in just one word, we’d say: exhilarating

That sounds great, but you probably would like more detail. Here’s a handy guide to answer your questions about this fun activity, including how to ride an electric bike. 

If You Can Ride a Bike, You Can Ride an Electric Bike

Many customers are worried that they’ll need special skills to be able to ride an e-bike. Lucky for you, electric bikes ride almost the same as normal bikes. If you know how to pedal a manual bike, there won’t be a learning curve.

Electric bikes are equipped with an electric motor, but you still have to pedal and steer to keep the bike going. These bikes are perfect for people who don’t want to exert too much energy on a regular bike.

But Really, What Does It Feel Like?

Imagine riding a manual bike with a boost. That’s what it’s like to ride an electric bike. The boost comes from the electric motor. Whenever you pedal up a hill or work harder to get the bike moving, you can rely on the motor to do some of the work for you. 

Riding an electric bike is much more leisurely and relaxing than riding a normal bike. It’s exciting, fun, and really enjoyable. 

What to Know Before Renting

Here are a few things to know before renting your e-bike: 

  • Be even more careful around cars and pedestrians.
  • Since you’ll be going faster, you may need to brake sooner.
  • The e-bike frame is a bit heavier than a standard bike frame, so be careful to avoid injury.
  • Kova Rentals provides helmets at no additional cost, so you don’t have to bring your own.
