Per editor consensus, we have split electric bicycles into their own article. Since there are hundreds of millions of electric bicycles in use across the world today, most editors thought it appropriate to give them a space of their own.
Next, I would personally like us to start working on improving this article to the point that we can submit it as a Good article. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Ebikeguy (talk) 23:54, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
I disagree with the assertion that the Pike research report is necessarily non-encyclopedic. As long as it is identified and described accurately, I think that we should allow references to it. I thought Nudecline's edits were valid, and I would like to restore them with some editing to ensure NPOV. Thoughts? Ebikeguy (talk) 15:13, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Finally, I want to clarify that I am just trying to keep the green transportation articles as NPOV and objective as possible, and it is dificult, because most of the technologies are just emerging, there are no books to use as reliable sources, but there is a lot of speculation around, even in the specialized magazines and journals. I rather prefer to present historical data and in the particular case of e-bikes, what applies to conventional bicycles not always apply to the new electric ones, such as assumptions about who is using them and where. We have to be patient and wait until those new trends and patterns begin to emerge based on reliable sources.--Mariordo (talk) 00:00, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
"While electric two-wheel vehicles tend to be a lifestyle choice in North America and much of Western Europe, in the developing world they’re used more as primary means of transportation". . Can it be included in experience by country or in a another (new) section?. On the other hand, what about a cycling-oriented development article or include in a section in transit-oriented development (really, sometimes the transit and cycling developments are linked)?--Nudecline (talk) 07:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

A new article needs to be made called Comparison of electric bicycles, at present, the only thing we have now is a section of an article on electric scooters. See Electric_motorcycles_and_scooters#Comparison_of_select_production_residential_speed_electric_scooters_and_motorcycles However, a 55 MPH electric, 2-wheeled vehicle doesn't fall within a specifications of an electric bike, instead electric bikes are far less powerful. For example, the Yikebike attains but 15 MPH (see http://www.gizmag.com/yikebike-mini-farthing/18114/), and range is but 10-20 km so that's nowhere near that 91.182.74.218 (talk) 10:10, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Here are a couple of external links that were recently posted:
These should either be integrated into the article or left off. A list of URLs is not encyclopedic. Jojalozzo 01:45, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
As I understand the sources, a pedelec is a bike that requires pedalling and is only assisted by the electric motor and an e-bike can operate on electric power alone. If that is so, then recent changes that modified "electric assist" for pedelecs to "pedal assist" are incorrect since a pedelec has electric assist and an e-bike has pedal assist.

I created a table comparing legal status between jurisdictions (countries), e.g. concerning speed and effect limits (after asking here and not getting feedback).
I think this improves readability and is useful e.g. when researching where to purchase suitable gear or where to plan a vacation.
Possible refinements:
Bjornte (talk) 21:11, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Now that the table is made, can all the other text concerning legal status be removed from this article and incorporated into the article Electric bicycle laws? To me it seems we have unwanted redundancy between articles right now, and the text is partially of low quality and too verbose in my opinion. Bjornte (talk) 10:21, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
Update: I haven't gotten any feedback on this subject. I therefore assume it's OK that I go ahead and remove the textual content and merge it into the main article Electric bicycle laws. Reply asap if I shouldn't. Bjornte (talk) 18:14, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected links on Electric bicycle which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Would include a section about innovation and aftermarket kits, as GeoOrbital . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.84.145.193 (talk) 09:15, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
The article seems very out of date, especially with regard to the examples of e-bike used. It doesn't even mention e-MTBs, the development of which has been rapid and astounding. Word is that for high-end bikes electric MTBs are outselling conventional ones and they are transforming the sport. They need more attention here, and should they have their own article?

There is a moped article, a motorized bicycle article, an electric bicycle article and scooter article. Plus more articles for 'proper' bicycles and 'proper' motorcycle. I would like these articles to be consolidated where needed, improved, and linked. If a more experienced wikipedian can help. A reasonable voice (talk) 12:36, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
E-bike use is growing in some markets, as they are seen as an eco-friendly and healthy alternative to cars, fossil fuel-powered mopeds and small motorcycles,[2][3][4][5] and a less physically intense alternative to conventional bicycles.[2]
The links for this section are both old and opinion pieces. While ebike usage has probably increased, newer information is likely needed. It is also written in a way that promotes ebikes. User:WikiDan61 I would be interested in your thoughts on rephrasing if you disagree about it seeming like a statement on a Trek bike ad? A reasonable voice (talk) 14:27, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
Some of the statistics are dreadfully out of date such as ebike use in 2008. 220.233.199.209 (talk) 09:17, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
