- E-bikes, also know as Electric Bicycles are actually very simple to use and operate. In this video we walk you through the basic elements of an electric bike and show you how each element operates. An electric bike can look like a normal bicycle but it has a motor that if engaged can either help the rider pedal or completely power the bicycle with use of the throttle. Riding ebikes is very much "like a riding a bicycle," it's that easy. Watch as we walk you through how to ride an electric for men or women.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching =)
X1.75 audio speed 👍
X1.25 audio speed 👍🏼
X1.5 audio speed 🤌🏾
Thank you lmao
I always watch at 1.5 or 1.75. All these videos move to slowly, Except for music videos.
You the MVP
Great video that gives the “facts” so that you can determine if it’s for you! Suspension system on one of the Models would be a great idea though, depending on where you ride & maybe for people with disabilities (me) or what a great “tool” for someone who wants to eventually use all his own propulsion and could do it ALL with one bike.
Thanks for watching, Christi. We appreciate your feedback.
Great helpful hints! Question: What is the best way of slowing down an ebike, when it speeds up (own gravity) going downhill? I usually use my brakes, but you can hear them while going down...is there another way? Thanks
Good question! Aside from brakes, you can also put your feet down once it' started to slow down, it may help. Thanks for watching!
I’m new to all of this. If your just starting out what would you recommend? Pedal assist or throttle? I eventually would like to get one of these for commute to work but like I said I’m just now learning and just wanting more information
Hi Rene! You can check this video for pedal vs. throttle asisst. czcams.com/video/7BvMRUMI4fA/video.html
Also, We'd be glad to make recommendations. If you have three minutes we have a proprietary algorithm to find the right bike for you. Simply go to our website www.sixthreezero.com/pages/get-fitted, and fill out and answer the questionnaires we prepared.
At the end of the assessment, it will give you a bike recommendation that fits your preference that fits your lifestyle and your riding style. :)
I learnt a lot and got an idea to buy this beast. Thanks buddy
Thanks for watching! Looking forward to your bike! :)
Great explanation.
Glad you liked it
EXCELLENT Very informative on the basics of electric biking, enjoyed it greatly, well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you just push the throttle a slight bit if you are getting on the bike and want it to move forward slowly rather than have a wobblier start/push off just with the peddles and without battery assistance?
Yes, you can do that and I find it easier to get balanced that way as opposed to pedaling!. We have another video on mounting tips: czcams.com/video/8qpfo17c9wA/video.html
cool video, i work as a fleet technician for an ebike share service, I spend all day swapping the batteries out!
Wow! Thanks for watching! :)
Do you ship to Australia?
I’m considering a Leitner Aria bike because I’m only 5’ and there aren’t a lot of small bikes for us littlies.
Do you have a comparable sized bike to this to avoid musculoskeletal issues on a wrong sized bike?
I like the idea of a 365 day return policy- Leitner doesn’t have this.
Don’t worry about it, I’ve been waiting since May for my very first E bike. Not sure if I’ll still be alive when all the parts are available to finish building the damn thing!!! 🤬🤬🤬
We're sorry to hear about the long wait for your e-bike. You may also send us an email to theteam@sixthreezero.com for options given the long wait for your ebike order. We'd be glad to help.
what about just buying an electric wheel kit for the cruiser bike I have?
A visit to a bike shop near you would be beneficial in this case. They'd be able to give you recommendation.
Ebikes are fun but not having suspension is a deal breaker
I’m glad you brought that to everyone’s attention, I think you’re right but it shouldn’t matter on flat paved surfaces, should it? A Mountain Bike with auto-assist would probably be perfect....
@@christip20 A mountain bike with auto-assist would really really be cool!
I find it hard to believe that the typical battery is not charged by pedaling! Which models provide such performance? What endurance/range is typical of electric bikes?
You would need a dynamo to charge a battery, our e-bikes do not have one.
That's the nicest looking ebike I've seen. Super clean, proven beach cruiser dedign.
Thanks, Matt! How long have you been riding?
@@sixthreezero My whole life but ebikes just as of recently because now I'm in a hilly city
Wow! How's your experience so far?
@@sixthreezero Fun, practical, but less exercise! ;)
Yes, but you can still do more exercise! :) Thanks for sharing!
Most e-bikes have a motor cut out when you apply the brake . I would hope yours does.
Hi Ted! Yes, the brakes have a cut-out to stop the motor when they are used. Thanks for watching! :)
Is there a regenerative charging option for charging the battery with the pedals while you ride?
For the sixthreezero there is not. I believe there are models that do exist with that capability, but manufactured by different brands. Good question and definitely a feature we will consider adding for the future.
When not using the motor, can you shift gears manually, or is there only 1 gear?
Hi! Yes, you can still shift the gears manually. The ebike on the video is 7 speed. You can check the ebike here: www.sixthreezero.com/products/evryjourney-womens-500w/?variant=14457323814961. Thanks for watching! :)
@@sixthreezero thank you. Nice bike
You're welcome. You may check our website for more bike models. www.sixthreezero.com/
do you ship to cancun mexico?
No, unfortunately we do not offer international shipping.
Are there training wheels for adults?
Our bikes do not have training wheels but if you would like to add one, you may get it from a local bike shop. They'd be able to provide you options as well as the correct size for your bike.
Is there a way if say the motor dies for it to still work as a normal bike?
It does! If the motor dies or if you turn off pedal assist, it operates as a regular bike :)
How long is the battery charged for? Will it last 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.?
This is a tough question to answer because it is based on amount of throttle and pedal assistance that you require. 12-24 Wh per mile is what you can expect from our bicycles.
250 Watt/36V: 15.5 - 31 miles | Safely, between 15-30 Miles
500 Watt/48V: 20.8 - 41.5 miles | Safely, between 20-40 Miles
How much.
Hi Thomas, our electric bikes' price and info are found here - www.sixthreezero.com/collections/all-electric-bikes. We also have standard bicycle collections (non-ebikes). Feel free to browse our website.
I would love this gorgeous bike!!!
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching!
Why don't you use secure technology to ensure that batteries stolen from bike A isn't able to be used on bike B without bike A owner authorizing its use first.
That would definitely be great to have but we do not have the necessary technology to do it right now. Thanks for the suggestion though!
I would love to see a kill switch on these bikes
Thanks for your feedback. :)
Does activating the brake actually cut the power to the motor?
Yes, when you activate the brake it will cut the power to the motor. I can only speak to our e-bikes, I can't speak to all e-bikes on the market though. But I believe most will function that way.
sixthreezero Bicycle Company , thanks!
Wow I thought you didn’t have to pedal at all lol
Got you there! =)
Same lol
Great information, but audio seems to be a little low.
Thanks for the feedback. We will make sure to improve. Appreciated.
So do you use either pedal assist or throttle and either/or only one at a time? Is the bike too heavy to just pedal like a reg non electric bike?
You can definitely pedal like a regular bike, you won't even tell the difference of it being an electric bike. You would use either the throttle or pedal assist, you can use at the same time. But basically the bike has the option to do any of the three, throttle without pedaling at all, pedal assist, or just ride as a normal bicycle.
@@sixthreezero thx
Dude you have to close your eyes 👀 when you ride an ebike it’s considered auto ride control
Thanks for watching!
You loose the healthy excercise!
Thanks, Thomas. You can still opt to just use the pedal assist or go manual on your ebike for work out purposes =)
