All "electric" bicycles available on the market today
are electric
assist bicycles. This means that a regular bicycle design,
optimised for human power, has been modified to include an electric
motor add-on to assist the human, mainly for going up hills. There
are various methods of adding the electric power to the wheels,
either by a friction drive, a hub motor built into the wheel,
through the regular drive chain, and so on.
