What is the difference between an E-bike and a electric bike?

"E-bike" and "electric bike" generally refer to the same type of vehicle, which is a bicycle that is powered by an electric motor. However, there may be some slight differences in how the terms are used depending on the context.

In general, "e-bike" is a term that is commonly used in Europe and Asia to refer to electric bicycles, while "electric bike" is more commonly used in North America. However, this distinction is not always strictly observed and the terms are often used interchangeably.

One other possible difference is that "e-bike" may sometimes refer specifically to pedal-assist bicycles, which require the rider to pedal in order for the motor to engage and provide assistance, while "electric bike" may be used more broadly to refer to any bicycle that is powered by an electric motor, including those with throttle controls that allow the rider to power the bike without pedaling.

Overall, the differences between "e-bike" and "electric bike" are generally minor and the terms are often used interchangeably.
