Do you know where the power of an electric mountain bike comes from and how to make it work? When you use the pedals to accelerate while riding an electric mountain bike, how do the pedals work to accelerate the electric bike?
What is pedal assist and how does it help us save energy?
Pedal assist is a power device that assists you in riding. It is powered by a motor and can accelerate when pedaling.
Pedal assist for electric vehicles is usually divided into two types: cadence sensing and torque sensing. The operating principles of the two types of pedal assist are different and will also provide different pedaling experiences.
Cadence Sensor
The cadence sensor has a switch. When you pedal, the switch turns on and turns on the motor. When you stop pedaling, the switch turns off and the motor turns off. Of course, it is not that simple. When you pedal, you can adjust the pedal force to set the pedal mode and level. Different modes and levels often have different pedaling performances. Pedal assist is a more economical auxiliary sensor. Pedal sensors sometimes have delayed response and other problems due to individual reasons. If you want to buy a reliable sensor, you need to choose it carefully.
Torque Sensor
The perception of torque sensing will have much less delay than that of cadence sensing. You can judge how much auxiliary power should be applied to the electric bike according to the force you apply to the pedal. If you pedal lightly, the power generated by the torque sensor for the electric bike will also be reduced. Compared with cadence sensors, torque sensors can provide a smoother and more reliable pedaling experience, and the learning cost is relatively low. However, the price of torque sensors is much higher than that of ebikes with cadence sensors. The cost will increase. In many cases, they can only be seen on high-end electric bikes.
DAYLYRIDE Bikes offers a new cadence assist experience.
DAYLYRIDE Bikes equips all models of electric bikes with pedal assist technology. If you feel that the power is insufficient when going uphill and want more power, you can use pedal assist to help when passing through some bumpy sections.
When you want to exercise by riding, you can reduce the level or even turn off the assistance. DAYLYRIDE's new pedal assist design allows you to enjoy more aerobic exercise while reducing your learning curve and adapting to the use of pedal assist better and faster.
