An all-terrain bike (abbreviated ATB). If you are looking to just ride within the city, consider getting yourself an ATB. These bicycles come with a simple frame geometry, with a raised handlebar that offers you an upright riding position offering the rider a lot more comfort. ATBs also have a large seat that makes riding for longer durations, more convenient. There are also women-specific city bicycles available that are designed keeping in mind a woman's comfort.

All-terrain tires are known for their ability to handle different terrains. They come with grooves and channels that distribute the load evenly, improving the traction. This makes all-terrain tires ideal for snow and ice, sand, and other soft surfaces. However, extreme off roading is not recommended.

An ATB is perfect for all terrains. Whether it is unpaved roads or sand, an ATB has you covered. It was originally designed for off-roading experiences however, it soon gained popularity because of its user-friendly and rugged design that made it ideal for Indian roads.

Yes, all terrain bikes are great for longer rides as they offer an amazing grip and comfort. Since they are designed for different terrains, you can take them with you for weekend trips as well as for your long vacation. They offer great support and an amazing riding experience.

Depending on what your intended use is, you can pick the right hybrid cycle for yourself. For commute: If you are someone who wants to indulge in light off-roading on the weekends and daily commutes to the office, pick a hybrid cycle with a suspension fork as it will absorb bumps on the off roads. For comfort: If you are someone who likes to go on leisure rides, then an upright geometry is perfect for you. This is great for recreational purposes as these bicycles have wider tyres for extra comfort, and some of them even boast luxurious features like a suspension seat post and extra-cushioned saddles. Ninety One Cycles has a range of comfortable hybrid bicycles that tick all the boxes and will ensure you enjoy your riding experience every time you hit the pedal.

Hybrid bikes are designed to be a cross between road and mountain bikes. They typically boast of large padded seats and upright handlebars, which make your biking experience comfortable on roads, bike paths, and even some unpaved paths. Hybrid bikes are perfect for city roads as well as weekend trips to the hills. They offer great comfort as well as an amazing riding experience.

To figure out what type of hybrid bike is right for you, the first consideration is to know what type of riding you'll be doing: commuting in the city, riding paved paths and smooth streets for a workout, or cruising on a mix of gravel and pavement. You can also pick the right bike for youself after using our sizing tool that will help find you the perfect bicycle for your body frame: Find Your Perfect Bicycle

Hybrid cycles combine the features of the road, mountain, and touring cycles. They are the perfect buy for those who are looking at comfort and versatility. They combine the strength of both, mountain and touring cycles and merge this with the sleek, aero nature of a road cycle. This is why buying hybrid cycles in India is a great choice as it allows you to ride on various terrains. The right type of hybrid cycle largely depends on how you plan to use the cycle.

E-bicycles come with a battery-powered assist that comes via pedalling and, in some cases, a throttle. When you push the pedals on a pedal-assist Electric bicycle, a small motor engages & gives you a boost, so you can ride uphill without tiring yourself. The throttle mode, which is a feature in a few Electric Cycle, engages the motor with a press of a button. The throttle allows you to take a break while your bicycle continues to move ahead with the help of the motor. You feel powerful, and acceleration becomes much easier.

Electric bike with speed limit of 25kmph and power limit of 250 watts, require no registration. Meraki by Ninety One Cycles qualifies under this criteria and hence doesn't need registration or license to ride.

The assistance from the motor cuts off at the speed of 25kmph, but you can go faster by combining your pedal power in the pedal-assist mode. We suggest that every time you hit the pedal, wear the essential biking gear for your safety and follow the state and city rules.

Fat tire bikes provide improved grip and traction on the most troublesome terrain, that's why fat tires make a good impression even when the ground is covered in sand/gravel or even snow. Fat tires are suitable for riding on the mellowest sandy beaches, something that regular MTBs cannot provide. They are definitely a great investment if you are someone who loves carrying their bike for all their road trips. The riding experience that fat tire bikes provide on various terrains is just unbeatable.

A fat cycle (also called fat cycle or fat-tire cycle) is an off-road bicycle with oversized tires, typically 3 inches (77 mm) or larger and rims 2.16 inches (55 mm) or wider, designed for low ground pressure to allow riding on soft, unstable terrain, such as sand, bogs and mud. The wide tyres provide you with extra grip and traction and combined with low tyre pressure, you’ll find that you’re able to pedal over terrain that'd make conventional tyres sink.

Fat tire bikes float on difficult surfaces and can be used on normal roads also with the same ease especially if they are geared. Although not built and designed for mountain biking, fat tire bikes are a great investment for a variety of different terrains.

The large volume, low-pressure tires act as great shock absorbers. Since the large tires absorb a lot of the vibration from riding, there is less stress on the rider's hands and lower back. The biggest benefit of a fat tire bicycle is that it can be used on varied terrain, from sand to snow. The wide tires also offer a better grip on the different terrain which would otherwise make conventional tires sink. They are also a great investment to make for a good fitness regime.

A mountain bike (abbreviated MTB) is a bicycle designed for off-road cycling. The heavy-duty construction combined with stronger rims and wider tires has also made this bike type popular with urban riders. It is a great way to navigate through potholes and over curbs. A mountain bike is a great buy for all those who are looking at going on off-roading adventures as well as for those who are going to use their cycle in the city to enjoy their rides bump-free.

A hybrid bike combines the features of the road, touring, and mountain bikes. Perfect for those on the fence who wish to go for something comfortable and versatile, hybrid bikes are great for multiple surfaces. MTBs or mountain bikes are specifically designed for off-roading experiences and are great to ride on steep slopes. These bikes boast a stronger frame and often feature front and rear suspensions which help in off-road performance.

Yes, MTBs are a little heavier than road cycles. However, you need a heavy-duty and stronger framed bicycle when riding off-road and on steep hills. Mountain cycles are meant for a more rugged use and are extremely rider-friendly. They offer you the right amount of safety when riding on a mountainous slope. Their wider tires and larger suspension is what makes them heavier.

It's a great activity for the arms, back and legs. You work your heart but you're not hurting your joints it's very friendly on the body. Mountain biking pushes your workout routine and cardiovascular activity to a whole new level. Moreover, it is a great form of adventure which allows you to explore the region like you would never otherwise be able to. Mountain biking is a sport but it can also be pursued as a passion.

In order to adjust the from or the rear disc brakes you first need to understand the built of a disc Caliper. The Disc Caliper comes with two types of pads, the inner and the outer pad. The outer pad is the moving pad wherein the inner pad is a stationery pad. You will find a wire clamping bolt in the rear of the Disc Caliper and a barrel adjuster in the front. To manage the space between the inner and the outer pads, you will need a 5mm Allen key. To tighten the pads, you will need to use the Allen key clockwise and vice versa.

To adjust the disc brakes, you need to loosen the wire clamping bolt. Post that, pull the cable and make sure that there aren’t any lags in the cable. Always note that the Disc Caliper should be parallel to the disc rotor. You need to slightly loosen the Caliper alignment bolts and then using the 5mm Allen key tighten the inner pad making sure that the disc rotor moves freely without rubbing against either of the pads. Now rotate the wheel and hit the brakes and hold on to it until you finish tightening the Disc Caliper alignment bolts. If you are still facing friction with the movement, try loosening the inner pad so that the disc rotor gets adjusted for frictionless movement. For minute adjustment of the outer pad, you can move the barrel adjuster clockwise to loosen it and anti-clockwise to tighten the outer pad. For an in-depth explanation please check the video below.

To install a bicycle seat QR (quick release), follow these steps:

1. Gather the necessary parts: You will need a seat clamp, QR skewer, QR washer, and bolt.

2. Begin by placing the curved part of the QR washer onto the seat clamp. This curved part should fit snugly against the clamp, creating a stable surface for the QR to lock onto.

3. Insert the QR skewer rod into the seat clamp, ensuring that it goes through the holes or slots on both sides of the clamp.

4. Tighten the lock bolt on the QR skewer rod to secure it in place. Use a suitable tool, such as an Allen key or a wrench, to tighten the bolt firmly. Make sure the QR skewer is securely fastened to prevent any unwanted movement.

5. With the seat clamp and QR skewer in place, position the bicycle seat onto the seatpost. Align the seat rails or brackets with the seat clamp.

6. Once the seat is in position, partially tighten the QR skewer bolt. This will hold the seat in place but still allow for adjustments.

7. Adjust the seat to your preferred height and angle. Ensure it is comfortable and aligned properly for your riding position.

8. Once you have adjusted the seat, fully tighten the QR skewer bolt. Make sure it is tightened securely, but be careful not to overtighten and risk damaging the seatpost or QR mechanism.

9. Test the seat by applying some pressure to it, ensuring that it is stable and doesn't move or wobble excessively. Adjust as needed until you are satisfied with the seat's stability.

Following these steps should enable you to install a bicycle seat QR properly. Always double-check the tightness of the QR skewer bolt before each ride to ensure the seat remains secure and safe.

Seat QR Installation

Installing a rear mudguard clamp on a bicycle can help protect you from splashes and dirt while riding. Here are the steps to install a steel clamp for a mudguard:

1. Remove the seat: Start by removing the bicycle seat. This is typically done by loosening the bolt or quick-release mechanism that secures the seat post to the bike frame. Once the seat is loose, you can slide it out of the seat tube.

2. Attach the clamp: Take the steel clamp and position it around the seat tube, just below the seat post collar. The seat tube is the vertical tube that extends from the bike frame and holds the seat post. Make sure the clamp is aligned properly and centered on the tube.

3. Secure the clamp: Once the clamp is in position, you need to tighten it securely. This can be done by using a screwdriver or an appropriate-sized wrench to tighten the bolt on the clamp. Gradually tighten the bolt until the clamp is snug and firmly attached to the seat tube. Be careful not to overtighten, as it may damage the clamp or the bike frame.

4. Reinstall the seat: With the clamp securely in place, you can now reattach the bicycle seat. Slide the seat post back into the seat tube and adjust it to your desired height. Ensure that the seat post is inserted far enough into the tube for a safe and stable seating position.

5. Secure the seat: Once the seat is in the desired position, tighten the bolt or engage the quick-release mechanism to secure the seat post to the clamp. This will prevent the seat from moving or sliding during rides.

It's important to note that the specific installation process may vary depending on the type of mudguard clamp and bicycle you have. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional if you're unsure about the installation process or encounter any difficulties.

Using a mini pump for tire inflation, such as the one from Ninety One Cycles, is relatively straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Identify the valve type: The mini pump typically comes with two nozzles - one for Presta valves and one for Schrader valves. Determine which valve type your tire has before proceeding.2. For Schrader valves: Schrader valves are commonly found on MTB cycles or scooters. To attach the pump, locate the larger portion of the Schrader valve. Listen for the sound of air coming out, indicating that the valve is open. Press the pump nozzle onto the valve and lock it in place securely. Ensure a tight fit to prevent air leakage.

3. Begin pumping: Hold the pump firmly in place with one hand while using your other hand to operate the pump handle. Start pumping air into the tire, maintaining a consistent pumping motion. Be careful not to bend or twist the pump, as it may cause damage.

4. Inflate to the desired pressure: Continue pumping until you achieve the desired tire pressure. Check the tire pressure using a pressure gauge if available, or simply gauge it by feel.

5. Remove the pump: Once the tire is adequately inflated, unlock the pump from the valve by twisting or releasing any locking mechanism. Gently pull the pump nozzle off the valve, ensuring a smooth removal without applying excessive force.

6. For Presta valves: If your tire has a Presta valve, which is commonly found on road bikes or thinner valve stems, there are a few extra steps involved.

A. Open the Presta valve: Unscrew the small knurled nut on top of the valve stem. This will release the valve, allowing air to enter.

B. Disassemble the valve: The Presta valve consists of a rubber part and a plastic part. Remove both parts from the valve stem. The larger plastic part is the valve cap, while the smaller rubber part is the valve core.

C. Reattach the valve parts: Place the rubber part and the larger plastic valve cap back onto the valve stem. Ensure a secure fit by tightening the knurled nut on top of the valve stem.

7. Inflate the tire: Attach the pump nozzle to the Presta valve by pressing it onto the valve stem and locking it securely. Pump air into the tire, maintaining a consistent pumping motion. Be careful not to bend or twist the pump during the process.

8. Inflate to the desired pressure: Continue pumping until you reach the desired tire pressure. Use a pressure gauge or gauge it by feel.

9. Remove the pump: Unlock the pump from the valve by twisting or releasing any locking mechanism. Gently pull the pump nozzle off the valve, ensuring a smooth removal without applying excessive force.

By following these steps, you can effectively use a mini pump like the one from Ninety One Cycles to inflate your tires, whether they have Presta or Schrader valves. Remember to always refer to the specific instructions provided with your mini pump for the best results.

When it comes to properly positioning the front brake wire during bicycle installation or assembly, there is a simple solution. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Identify the issue: During installation, if the front brake wire makes a single turn and remains on the backside, it can cause rubbing against the tire, resulting in damage and difficulties while turning.

2. Locate the brake wire bolts: Look for the two bolts on the back of the brake caliper. These bolts secure the brake wire in place.

3. Loosen the bolts: Use a 5mm Allen key to loosen the two bolts on the back of the brake caliper. Loosen them enough to allow for adjustment.

4. Rotate the wheel: With the bolts loosened, rotate the front wheel a full 360 degrees. As you rotate the wheel, ensure that the brake wire rotates in the same angle.

5. Position the wire from the front: As you rotate the wheel, you will notice that the brake wire comes in from the front side, away from the tire. This clears the area and prevents any rubbing or damage.

6. Align the handlebars: Use the 5mm Allen key to align the handlebars with the front wheel. Make sure the handlebars are straight and centered.

7. Tighten the bolts: Once the handlebars are aligned, tighten the two bolts on the back of the brake caliper securely using the 5mm Allen key. Ensure they are tightened enough to hold the brake wire in place.

By following these steps, you can properly position the front brake wire during bicycle installation or assembly. This will prevent any rubbing against the tire, reduce the risk of damage, and ensure smooth turning. Remember to always use the appropriate tools and follow any specific instructions provided with your bicycle.

If you're experiencing issues with your bicycle's gear shifting, particularly when it's not shifting to the 7th gear despite being set to that position, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow. Here's a guide:

1. Identify the issue: If the gears are not shifting to the 7th gear but are functioning properly in other gear positions, the problem may not be related to the gear tuning but rather to the gear guard or derailer.

2. Check for obstructions: Examine the area around the derailer and gear guard. Look for any objects, debris, or misaligned components that may be obstructing the movement of the derailer.

3. Adjust the gear guard: If the gear guard is interfering with the derailer's movement, you can make a simple adjustment. Gently pull the gear guard away from the derailer to create a small gap between them. You don't need to provide excessive space, just enough to allow the derailer to function smoothly.

4. Test the gear shifting: Once you have created the gap between the gear guard and derailer, test the gear shifting by changing gears. You should now find that the gears can shift into the 7th gear smoothly.

5. Fine-tune if necessary: If the gear shifting is still not optimal, you may need to fine-tune the gear adjustments. This involves making minor adjustments to the tension of the gear cables or adjusting the limit screws on the derailer. Refer to your bicycle's user manual or seek assistance from a professional bike mechanic for more detailed instructions on fine-tuning the gears.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you can address gear shifting issues where the bicycle is not shifting to the 7th gear. However, if the problem persists or you are unsure about making adjustments yourself, it is recommended to consult a bike mechanic who can diagnose and fix the issue correctly.

When it comes to adjusting the front derailleur on your bicycle, there are a few key steps to follow. Here's a guide:

1. Identify the issue: If your front derailleur is not shifting smoothly or is rubbing against the chain when changing gears, it may need adjustment. Pay attention to any cross-chain issues or clearance problems that you observe.

2. Locate the adjustment bolt: Look for the 5mm bolt on the front derailleur. This bolt is typically used to adjust the position and clearance of the derailleur.

3. Loosen the bolt: Using a 5mm Allen key, loosen the adjustment bolt slightly. This will allow you to make the necessary adjustments to the derailleur's position.

4. Make position adjustments: While keeping an eye on the clearance between the derailleur and the chain, reposition the front derailleur as needed. If it is rubbing against the chain when in a particular gear combination, move the derailleur slightly outward to increase clearance. If there is too much clearance, move the derailleur slightly inward.

5. Secure the adjustment: Once you have made the necessary position adjustments, tighten the adjustment bolt. Ensure that the derailleur is firmly secured in its new position.

6. Test the shifting: Shift through the gears to check if the front derailleur is shifting smoothly without any rubbing or chain interference. Make adjustments if necessary by repeating the previous steps.

7. Fine-tune if needed: If the shifting is not optimal or requires further adjustment, you may need to fine-tune the front derailleur. This can involve adjusting the limit screws on the derailleur or fine-tuning the cable tension. Consult your bicycle's user manual or seek assistance from a professional bike mechanic for more detailed instructions on fine-tuning the front derailleur.

Remember, front derailleur adjustments can be sensitive, so it's important to make small, incremental changes and test the shifting after each adjustment. If you're unsure about making the adjustments yourself, it's recommended to seek the help of a bike mechanic for a more precise setup and fine-tuning of the front derailleur.

When it comes to adjusting caliper brakes on your bicycle, there are a few steps you can follow. Here's a guide:

1. Identify the issue: If your caliper brake is working on one side but touching or not engaging properly on the other side, it may require adjustment.

2. Check for a gap: Examine the area behind the bolt that holds the caliper brake in place. Look for a gap between the brake arms on both sides.

3. Adjust with the easiest method: If there is a gap behind the bolt on both sides and the brake is working properly, you can use the easiest method. No further adjustment is necessary in this case.

4. Manual adjustment: If there is an issue with one side of the caliper brake touching or not engaging properly, you will need to make a manual adjustment.

5. Loosen the rear bolt: While holding the caliper brake in place, manually loosen the rear bolt that holds it. This will allow you to make adjustments to the positioning.

6. Center the middle part: Ensure that the part in the middle of the caliper brake is centered between the brake pads. This will help create an even gap on both sides.

7. Tighten the rear bolt: Once the middle part is centered, tighten the rear bolt securely. Make sure it is tightened enough to hold the caliper brake in its new adjusted position.

8. Test the brake: Squeeze the brake lever to check if the caliper brake now engages properly on both sides. There should be even contact between the brake pads and the rim.

9. Fine-tune if necessary: If the brake still requires further adjustment, you may need to fine-tune the caliper brake. This can involve adjusting the tension on the brake cable or fine-tuning the position of the brake pads. Consult your bicycle's user manual or seek assistance from a professional bike mechanic for more detailed instructions on fine-tuning caliper brakes.

Remember, caliper brake adjustments can be sensitive, so it's important to make small adjustments and test the brake after each adjustment. If you're unsure about making the adjustments yourself, it's recommended to seek the help of a bike mechanic for a more precise setup and fine-tuning of the caliper brakes."

A cycle with gears lets you choose the gear ratio depending on the terrain you are riding on. For instance, if you are riding on a slope, a lower gear ratio lets you ride uphill easily by increasing your pedalling rate while decreasing your effort. You can also shift gears on a plain road to increase your RPM (rotations per minute) without pedalling too hard. Geared bicycles in India are a great investment if you are truly passionate about cycling and pursue it a little further than leisure riding.

Ninety One Cycles uses different gears in its cycles like Shimano, Microshift, LTWOO. All of these are considered to be the best in the market and are known for their extraordinary performance.

A cycle with gears lets you choose the gear ratio depending on the terrain you are riding on. For instance, if you are riding on a slope, a lower gear ratio lets you ride uphill easily by increasing your pedalling rate while decreasing your effort. A single-speed or non-geared cycle is a bicycle without any gear and has a single gear ratio. The speed that you can reach on such bikes depends completely on how fast or slow you pedal.

Yes, you must pedal while you change gears. That's because the chain has to be moving in order for the derailleurs to "derail" the chain from sprocket to sprocket. Pedal at a brisk pace. A brisk pace improves your stamina on a longer ride, and it enables you to “jump” if you need to suddenly move quickly. Plus, this technique is easier on your bicycle. Third, and this is hugely important, lighten the pressure on the pedals when you shift. You still have to be pedalling while you shift gears, but don't be pedalling hard as you change them. Lightening the pressure on the pedals facilitates a much smoother, more quiet shift. This technique too is easier on your bicycle.

Gears on a bicycle are one of those lovely inventions that allow us to ride faster, get up hills more easily and allow us to get a lot more enjoyment out of our riding. Gears convert the effort you put in at the pedals to a certain output at your wheel. There's only so much force your muscles can produce and usually an optimum cadence (how fast you spin your pedals) at which you will be most efficient. The size of the gears, and how they are combined, determines how many times the rear wheel turns and how far you travel with every pedal stroke. If you have your chain on the smaller chainring and it has 25 teeth, along with a rear cog of the same the wheels rotate once for every pedal stroke. It's a 1:1 gear ratio. If you shift to your big chainring, and it has 50 teeth, then that's a 2:1 ratio. Then every pedal stroke makes the wheels rotate twice. A lower, easier gear, with the smaller chainring up front and a larger cog in the back, lets you accelerate faster. This helps you get started from a stop, or when you are climbing a steep hill. The higher, harder gear (big chain ring, small cog) helps you increase your top speed, but requires more work and muscle to accelerate.

Cycling is a great form of exercise to reduce weight. It can be adopted by those who are struggling in the gym or even those who prefer outdoor activities over gym workouts. Cycling helps burn calories within the first 30 minutes of hitting the pedal, so it is a great way to stay in form.

Yes, cycling is a great way to burn fat and lose calories. The outdoor activity is an excellent physical activity as well as aids mental wellness.

Even though it depends a lot on your body type, cycling makes your legs stretch and your overall height will increase by a few inches owing to this. Cycling burns many calories, so along with cycling when you eat the right food, it will help your body get into the right shape and will help build muscles. The calf muscles become healthier and active cycling results in longer legs as well as an increase in height.

Cycling is one of the top three ways of losing belly fat. The stubborn belly fat is extremely difficult to get rid of however, cycling remains an effective way to lose it. Cycling not only gets your heart rate up but also has the capacity to burn a significant number of calories. Health experts suggest that regular cycling can burn more calories and thereby help you lose weight.

It is recommended that you must at least cycle for a span of 30 minutes for your body to start burning calories. According to Harvard Health Publishing, a 70-KG person can burn 446 calories in just 30 minutes by cycling at a speed of 16 to 19 mph. Burning excess calories aids weight loss. Cycling is a great form of workout to help you lose weight and also give you a break from the monotony of life.

Electric Cycle make bike riding fun and more convenient especially when you are on a steep slope and want to reduce the pressure on your knees and joints. With a motor that takes up for you when you need a break, you can easily shift to the throttle mode if you are too tired. This helps relieve stress on your knees, hips and joints.

Cycling will help your child develop their leg muscles and strengthen their bones. The continued exercise will help build their stamina and improve their cardiovascular development. It will also increase their coordination and balance. Riding a bicycle is something all children should be able to experience. Moreover, cycling is a great teacher of different life lessons that children can learn and apply to their growth.

Cycling is a great form of exercise for children too. It not only helps them get involved in a sport early on in life but also helps develop a healthy body teaching them several life lessons. A child usually learns to cycle between the age of 3 and 8 with an average of just over 5 years old.

Disc brakes have come a long way in the last 10 years. They have really evolved into a brake that will stop a tandem as well as a cantilever. A disc brake consists of a metal disc, or "rotor", attached to the wheel hub that rotates with the wheel. Calipers are attached to the frame or fork along with pads that squeeze the rotors for braking. As the pads drag against the rotor, the wheel - and thus the bicycle - is slowed. Disc brakes may be actuated mechanically by cable, or hydraulically.

There are disc brakes and rim brakes. There are various advantages of disc brakes. Disc brakes provide increased stopping power and stay cleaner. They also allow wider tire options.

"Linear-pull brakes" or "direct-pull brakes", commonly referred to as "V-brakes", are a side-pull version of cantilever brakes and mount on the same frame bosses. However, the arms are longer, with the cable housing attached to one arm and the cable to the other. As the cable pulls against the housing, arms are drawn together. V-brakes were specifically designed for off-road use on a mountain cycle.

A cantilever, technically, is a structural element supported at one end. A cantilever brake is a rim brake where each brake arm has the brake shoe and the cable attachment, both on the same side of the support (the pivot). So that the cable can come from above the tire, the pivot must be below the brake shoe, attached to the frame. Cantilever brakes were used on touring cycles and tandems for decades before mountain cycles were even invented. The cantilever evolved into an extremely powerful and reliable braking system.

Yes, Electric Cycle can be used without pedalling when you shift to the throttle mode. Although, it is not recommended to do this for a long duration as it will considerably reduce the range and of course, it will beat the whole purpose of cycling. Pedal-assist mode is much more fun than throttle mode.

You can ride an Electric bicycle without the use of battery just like a normal cycle. The effort required will be slightly more than normal cycles because the battery tends to increase the overall weight by 5-6kgs.

In pedal-assist mode, the motor gives a boost to your pedalling effort. The idea of providing a motor is to reduce tension in your body when you are tired. You can easily push back to the pedal-assist mode and continue pedalling. So, riding an Electric bicycle is definitely not cheating. It just enables you to do a lot more with a bike.
