00:00Hey there eBikers, new eBike tech is more fascinating this year than ever.
00:17With a greater focus on user preferences, sustainability and advanced technology, eBike
00:22innovation isn't slowing down.
00:24Lisa here from eBiking Today and I'm ready to break it all down for you.
00:28First I'll show how ride technology works, then we'll peek into the future of electric
00:33bike tech and affordability.
00:35So gear up and let's take a ride.
00:37To understand the future of eBike technology, we first need to focus on the most important
00:42parts of an electric bike, the motor and battery.
00:46Let's start with the heart of the eBike, an electric motor.
00:49Most eBikes use either a hub motor or a mid-drive motor.
00:53Hub motors are built into the front or rear wheel and directly power the wheel.
00:57They're great for flat terrains and are generally more affordable.
01:01Mid-drive motors, on the other hand, are mounted near the bike's cranks and power the bike's
01:06chain.
01:08Understanding your motor's type helps in maximizing its efficiency and longevity.
01:13Next up is the rechargeable battery.
01:15The battery is your eBike's powerhouse and its performance varies based on its watt-hours
01:19or WH.
01:21A higher WH rating gives you more power and a longer range.
01:25Due to advanced battery cell technology, many electric bikes are now capable of a range
01:30of up to 50 miles or more.
01:34However, your eBike's true range is determined by additional factors such as rider weight
01:38and added cargo weight, flat versus hilly terrain, weather, and use of throttle and
01:44pedal assist.
01:45It's crucial to regularly charge and store your battery properly to extend its life.
01:50Since batteries are one of the most expensive eBike components, treating them right will
01:54extend their life, keeping you on the road and money in your pocket.
01:58Never let it fully drain and keep it away from extreme temperatures to maintain your
02:03eBike's battery life.
02:05Check the description below the video for essential battery tech tips.
02:09The controller is the brain of your eBike.
02:12It manages the power flow between the battery and the motor based on your input.
02:16Controllers also handle the bike's levels of pedal assist.
02:20With technology advancements, some eBike models allow customization of these settings
02:24via a smartphone app, providing a tailored riding experience.
02:28Thus, understanding how your controller works can significantly enhance your ride by customizing
02:33it to fit your riding style.
02:36Sensors play a crucial role in how smooth your eBike feels.
02:39Most eBikes come with two types of sensors, speed sensors and torque sensors.
02:44Speed sensors, also called cadence sensors, activate the motor based on how fast you're
02:49pedaling, while torque sensors adjust the motor's power based on how hard you pedal.
02:53Torque sensors offer a more natural ride feel as the bike adjusts instantly to your pedaling
02:58force.
02:59This makes it excellent for varying terrains and a consistent ride flow.
03:03There are benefits to both and you can get more information on which one is best for
03:07you in a link below the video.
03:09So what's next for eBike technology?
03:12We're seeing incredible advancements like improved battery efficiency, advanced controllers
03:17and even solar charging panels.
03:19Smart eBikes are also on the rise with features like GPS tracking, anti-theft systems and
03:25integrated health monitoring and goal tracking.
03:27These innovations aim to make eBiking safer, more convenient and better integrated into
03:32our daily lives.
03:33Greater connectivity such as through Bosch's eBike Flow app and access to brand specific
03:38apps and smart controllers will give eBike commuters the confidence to park their eBikes
03:44and find shortcuts to work.
03:46Recreational riders will explore longer distances having assurance that their bike's battery
03:51won't die during a long ride.
03:54Other important eBike tech advancements include lighter weight frames, improved folding systems,
04:00anti-lock braking systems and automatic gearing like the Enviolo Automatic.
04:05Look below the video for a list of eBikes offering these innovations.
04:09The latest eBike innovations in 2024 have introduced exciting new technologies and designs
04:15but the pricing remains a mixed picture.
04:17For example, brands like Urtopia have introduced models with AI capabilities offering unique
04:23features such as route planning, music control and even chat GPT integration.
04:29These cutting edge models however tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum.
04:33On the pricing front, there's a wide range depending on the type and features of the eBike.
04:39Standard models without high tech enhancements are seeing a slight decrease in price or stabilization
04:44thanks to factors like excess inventory and competition among brands.
04:48Brands like Rad Power Bikes actually decreased prices across the board in 2024.
04:51The newest models like the Rad Expand 5 Plus and Rad Wagon 5 are priced between $1,199
04:57and $2,199 with previous models priced lower indicating a range of prices that can cater
05:03to different budgets.
05:04However, there's potential volatility in pricing due to factors such as the lack of
05:08technology or the lack of inventory.
