EBIKE TIPS - HOW TO Build an Inexpensive Ebike!

Electric bikes obviously consume energy, where a conventional bikes does not (if we ignore the environmental cost of growing and processing food - see below). However, the amount of energy used is very small compared to a moped, motorcycle or car. The only consumables are the batteries, and these can normally be recycled when life-expired. As for energy use, electric bikes typically consume fuel at an average rate of 100 to 150 watts of electrical energy, against 15,000 or so for a car (admittedly traveling much faster). In terms of fuel consumption, an electric bike achieves about 290 - 700 liters/kilometer. No other commercially available vehicle can match figures of this kind. If it's hard to place these numbers in your own lifestyle, think of a 100 watt electric light bulb burning unnecessarily for an evening - that's enough energy to propel an electrically-assisted bike for 35-70 km...
