There is a Mitch Hedberg joke about escalators that applies here.
Almost all e-bikes can, at the very least, be used without battery power. Some can even be essentially "de-electrified" if need be. The fail state for an e-bike is "slightly less convenient."
- csomar 4y agoGood point. I stand corrected.
- bigmattystyles 4y agoYea, though some of them are insanely heavy that without the assist, it’s quite a workout!
- Doxin 4y agoGenerally the mid-motor models have some fairly serious friction when unpowered. Hub motors usually have way less friction, sometimes to the point of basically being a regular bicycle if you don't put the battery in.
