- So we here at The Verge love electric rideables.

- 所以我們The Verge的人都喜歡電動車。

Hoverboards, skateboards, scooters, motorcycles, mopeds,

懸浮板、滑板、滑板車、摩托車、輕便摩托車。

unicycles, tricycles, you name it, we've ridden it.

獨輪車，三輪車，你能想到的，我們都騎過。

But I'm here to tell you why I think electric bikes

但我在這裡要告訴你，為什麼我認為電動自行車

in particular are more than just a fun tech fad.

尤其是不僅僅是一種有趣的科技時尚。

I think they could actually be the future of transportation.

我認為它們實際上可能是未來的交通工具。

So here's some stuff you need to know about e-bikes.

所以這裡有一些關於電動自行車的東西，你需要知道。

And if you live in China or Europe, it's a good bet

如果你住在中國或歐洲，這是個不錯的選擇。

that e-bikes are already a way of life for you.

電動自行車已經是你的一種生活方式。

In Europe, for example, e-bikes have long helped

例如，在歐洲，電動自行車早已幫助了

older adults maintain independence and are just now

But here in the U.S., e-bikes are still pretty niche.

但在美國，電動自行車還很小眾。

They only account for a 4% of total bikes sales.

Compare that to more bike-friendly countries

與更多的自行車友好型國家進行比較。

like the Netherlands where there are more e-bikes sold

像荷蘭，那裡有更多的電動自行車銷售。

Overall, experts predict that worldwide sales

總體而言，專家預測，全球銷售

Sales of electric-bikes in the U.S. have grown

美國電動自行車的銷售量有所增長

It took a long time to get to this point.

Now one of the first patents for an electric-bike

現在是電動自行車的首批專利之一。

was registered in 1895 by an inventor named Ogden Bolton.

1895年由一位名叫奧格登-博爾頓的發明家註冊。

Now Bolton didn't actually end up making or selling

現在，博爾頓實際上並沒有最終制造或銷售。

but amazingly some of the same design details can be found

但令人驚訝的是，一些相同的設計細節可以發現

A rear hub motor with a battery centrally mounted

一個後輪轂電機，安培和伏特。

So let's talk about the basics before we get to

所以，在我們開始討論之前，我們先來談談基本的東西

why e-bikes are the future of transportation.

為什麼電動自行車是未來的交通工具。

So generally speaking e-bikes are bicycles

所以一般來說電動自行車就是自行車

with a battery-powered assist that comes through

帶電池供電的輔助系統，通過以下方式實現

when you pedal or in some cases use a throttle.

當你踩踏或在某些情況下使用油門時。

Pushing on the pedal activates a small motor

There's the mid-drive which is located in the middle

有一個位於中間的中置驅動器。

of the bike usually between the two pedals.

的自行車通常在兩個踏板之間。

And then there's the hub motor which is located

in the center of either the front or the rear wheel.

There are pros and cons to both types of motors.

Hub drives have been around forever and tend to be cheaper

集線器驅動器已經存在了很久，而且往往比較便宜。

They're really excellent motors for anyone needing

他們是真正優秀的電機，對於任何需要

a reliable e-bike for long, mostly flat commuting.

一款可靠的電動自行車，適合長時間、大部分時間的平地通勤。

Mid-drives are usually smaller and lighter

and can allow for greater torque than hub drives

並可實現比輪轂驅動更大的扭矩

making them well suited for hilly areas and off road use.

使其很適合在丘陵地區和非公路上使用。

Their center position on the bike also creates

他們在自行車上的中心位置也創造了

而在中置驅動自行車上換胎的時候

E-bikes also tend to use different types of sensors

電動自行車也往往使用不同類型的傳感器

There are two types, torque sensors and cadence sensors.

有兩種類型，扭矩傳感器和節奏傳感器。

Torque sensors regulate the motor based on

扭矩傳感器根據以下情況調節電機

while cadence sensors work off of how fast you pedal.

而節奏傳感器則根據你踩踏的速度來工作。

Good bikes use torque sensors while the low enders

好的自行車使用扭矩傳感器，而低端車則使用扭矩傳感器。

have cadence only, and a lot of bikes use both.

只具有節奏感，很多自行車都使用這兩種。

I highly recommend testing out both types of motors

我強烈建議對兩種類型的電機進行測試

before buying an e-bikes to see which is the best for you.

在購買電動自行車之前，看看哪種電動自行車最適合自己。

Think about how you plan on using the bike.

The better e-bikes brands usually match the appropriate

比較好的電動自行車品牌通常會搭配相應的

motor placement with the type of bike they're selling.

電機放置與他們銷售的自行車類型。

Most mountain bikes come with mid-range motors

while the majority of commuter bikes sold

在無山的阿姆斯特丹，以樞紐為基礎。

Manufacturers will often offer power ratings

were a way for bike companies to dance around

which prohibited anything stronger than 250 watts.

其中禁止任何超過250瓦的設備。

But now the continent allows the sale of bikes

但現在大陸允許銷售自行車了。
