If you are going to purchase a new car, you may check which features are available in the car such as Power window, Navigation, ABS, Alloy wheel, navigation etc.

Similarly you have to know features in the electric cycle before purchasing it.

Here we divide electric cycle features in two category essential features(must have) & additional features.

Essential features – Motor, Battery, Controller,Cable harness, Display/Indicator( Battery indicator), throttle etc.
Additional features – Shocker, Gear drive, Disc brakes, Pedal assistant, Light (Front, Back, Side Indicator), Display with more features (LCD color screen, Bluetooth connectivity),detachable batteries, torque sensor, foldable, IP protection etc.

As additional features increase simultaneously the cost of the electric cycle increases.

Essential features of electric cycle

Motor

Motor is one of the important part of electric cycle & cost depends on Motor KW & Motor brands Generally motor use in electric cycles is a BLDC hub motor of different rating 250W, 500W, 750W,1000w with different operating voltage control.

In india generally electric cycle has 250W motor. You may also find higher rating motors.

Always ask for motor manufacturers (e.g:- Bafang, Tranzx, etc.).Try to search motor IP67 protection that will protect motor from water.

Electric cycle also divided as per location of installation on front wheel drive, mid drive & rear wheel drive. Maximum electric cycles come with rear wheel drive. Some electric cycles also come with mide drive but the cost of cycle is high in this case.

Battery

Battery is the main & costlier part of the electric cycle. General Cycle manufactures use lithium ion , lithium iron phosphate, Polymer batteries. You may find differences between Li-ion Vs LiFepo4
Generally Lithium ion batteries come with BMS ( Battery management system) to avoid over charging & make it safe.

Note:- As lithium batteries consist of lithium cells so always check lithium cells manufacturer e.g.- LG Chem, BYD, Samsung, Panasonic, etc. are some examples of good lithium ion cells.

Battery available in mAh & volt rating. Higher the capacity of the battery increases the range of the electric cycle.

Type of battery

In the electric cycle two types of battery are available as per installation. Fixed & detachable type.

Both have advantages & disadvantages, As a fixed battery available inside frame or connected with frame in this case no chance of theft & safe, but at the same type for charging of electric cycle you have to place your cycle near the charging point.

Similarly for a detachable battery you remove it from the cycle & charge inside home/flat & no need to palace cycle near the charging point, but at the same time in the parking area there is a chance of theft.

Battery life

Battery life completely depends upon the lithium ion cells & how to use it for charging & discharging. Some manufacturers give a warranty of 1 year. Try to avoid battery from excessive heat.

If you take small precautions it will improve lift of battery e.g:- Never full discharge battery, try to avoid charging in direct sunlight, protect from damage etc.

Further you may find safety precaution of 18650 battery

Controller

Controller is working as the brain of the electric cycle, when the rider raises the throttle simultaneously the controller gives power to the motor & run.

Other functions of controller for pedal assist, braking cutoff, light, etc.

Cable Harness

Cable harness is a bunch of electrical cable use for receive, transmit signal & power supply. In the cable harness both side connectors are available for connecting the motor, battery, sensor, light, throttle, display etc.

Display

A simple display gives you only information about battery status & in advance display system you may find a number of options eg- Battery percentage meter, speedometer, Bluetooth connectivity, color display, navigation, odometer etc.

Range

Range of an electric cycle is the same as the mileage of a normal vehicle & it depends on how to ride it. Higher the capacity of the battery has more range.

Some other factors also affect the range of the electric cycle range as weight of rider, wind direction, condition of road, tyre pressure, riding style, use of throttle etc. Generally range starts from 25 KM.

Throttle

Throttle works as an accelerator of a vehicle as you rotate throttle motor start running. In the electric cycle generally you may find two types of throttle controller- wrist control & thumb control. you may select as per your requirement.

Additional features of electric cycle

As additional features increase in cycle at the same time cost also increases. Your electric cycle also works without additional features.

Suspension

For a long driving suspension can give you a smooth ride on rod & avoid jerks.you may choose suspension in front, mid (single spring), rear suspension as per requirements.

Hydraulic disc brakes

For instant brakes it will give better performance in comparison to ordinary brakes.As speed of electric cycle is higher in comparison to normal cycle then you should go with disc brakes.

Pedal assistant

Pedal assistants also increase the range of the electric cycle. During pedalling signal rich to controller & reduce load on motor & battery. If you want to pedal & increase range must consider this feature.

Some cycle come with triple sensor(Torque, speed & crank sensor).

Gear

If you want to ride your cycle on an elevated road or hilly area you have to go with gear, but it will increase the cost of an electric cycle.

Warranty

Some manufacturers give 1-2 years warranty on battery, motor, controller etc.

Charging time

Generally cycle full charging from 4-8 hours depends on manufacturers. Some manufacturers give with less charging time. Try to avoid full discharge of battery.

Common problems & maintenance in the electric cycle.

If you have an electric cycle or want to purchase an electric cycle you must have gone through common faults in it & maintenance of the electric cycle. In this we consider specially points related to electronic/ electric components & not consider mechanical parts.

Common problems/faults in the electric cycle

Sometimes the ignition key or key holder is out of order.
When you give race & throttle not performs as per requirement or out of order.
Controller internal electronic component out of order.
Connector internal pin damage & not transmit signal and power through connector.
Brake switch – When you apply brake simultaneously, the brake switch sends a signal to the controller & cuts off supply of motor. But when brake switch out of order controller not detect signal & only bake apply in this case chance to failure of controller & motor also.
Insert water in controller, display, battery pack, motor, inside connector etc due to run in deep water or in monsoon season.
Charger not working.
Display out of order.
Sensor out of order
Light & light switch out of order.
Failure of motor consider following things ( Bearing damage, sensor damage, motor winding damage etc.) we can repair it.
Damage wire harness.

Maintenance on electric cycle

Always read the manual of manufacturers & follow all instructions for better ride & better life of electric cycle.
Always try to avoid your electric cycle from water, either from deep water or direct insertion.
Always use appropriate charger as per manufacturer’s recommendation & never use high rating charger for fast charging. It will not be good for the battery pack.
Always use a separate switch & socket for charging.
First insert charger pin to first bakery pact than other side of charger to power supply socket. Similarly at the time of removal charger first switch of power supply, remove charger from socket than charger pin from battery pack or electric cycle.
Never connect charger to power supply from wet hand.
If your charger is not working replace it with the same charger or same rating charger for safe charging of the battery pack.
Always use a good quality of charger.
Life of a battery pack depends on the quality of cells & how they assemble it. As BMS available in battery packs so it will protect from over charging.
Try to avoid charging in hot areas or direct sunlight areas.
In the summer season if you come from outside with an electric cycle, first try to cool down 15-20 minute of battery back than charge it.
Try to charge before the battery reaches 20% level.
As we charge our mobile phone whenever possible to reach 100 %. Similarly charge your electric cycle & not wait to reach 20 % & keep it 100%.
Get service for your electric cycle as per frequency provided by manufacturers or 3- 6 month.
In service check for battery, motor, controller, display, controller, connector connection, sensor etc.
For better range maintain tyre air pressure as per recommendation of manufacturers.
Try to use throttle judiciously .
Use the pedal when you start the cycle to reduce load on motor as well as on battery.
