Most electric bikes have some combination of manual pedaling, pedal assist (pedelec) and electric-only (throttle) modes. Make sure you choose the most appropriate one. If you have bad knees or just don't want to pedal, then make sure your electric bike in Kundrathur can propel itself forward with throttle only.
Battery
Make sure the battery is from a reputable manufacturer. Brand name batteries tend to have a much longer life (charge cycles) due to stricter testing.
Voltage and capacity
A 36-volt battery is fine for flat areas and lighter riders, but a 48-volt battery will provide enough power to help climb hills and push heavier riders more easily. The next point to consider is battery capacity; this is typically measured in amp hours and most electric bike batteries range from 10-20 amp hours. A higher capacity battery will give you more range.
Weight
Electric bikes are built similarly to their non-electric counterparts. As such, their weight limits are roughly the same as well. Most e-bikes can support someone weighing 300 pounds. However, just because they can doesn't mean they should. Manufacturers usually publish maximum weight limits 50 lbs. below the actual maximum to ensure reliability. A heavier rider would wear out the e-bike much faster and could damage wheel spokes.
Final words
Always make sure that volts and amp-hours are listed and never buy an electric bike that does not include these figures. They give you a general idea of what the real-world range might be. Remember to focus on the main differentiators: looks, power, range, price, motor type (pedal, pedal-assist, all-electric), maximum weight supported, battery brand, and real-world results. Good luck in your electric bike search.
