What Is an Electric Bike?

An electric bike (also known as an ebike or electric bicycle) is a bicycle equipped with a battery-powered motor that supports your pedaling. It gives you a boost when you need it (uphill, against the wind, or over long distances) while still feeling like a natural ride. You’re always in control, choosing the level of assistance that suits your pace and terrain.

What to Know Before You Buy

Here’s what first-time ebike buyers often ask and what you need to know:

Do You Need a License to Ride an Electric Bike?

In most US states, no license is needed for Class 1 and Class 3 ebikes, but local laws vary. Always check your state's regulations.

What’s the Difference Between an Ebike and an Electric Bike?

None! "Ebike" is simply a shortened version of "electric bike." Both terms are used interchangeably.

What Should You Avoid When Buying an Electric Bike?

Avoid bikes that lack proper safety testing, after-sales support, or poor component quality. At Gazelle, we combine Dutch craftsmanship with top-tier components and a lifetime of service.
