Electric Bicycles

Electric bicycles come in a variety of forms, they always involve a both an electric motor and pedals. You can think of them as a human-electric hybrid vehicle. A "pedelec" design is where the rider does not have a throttle, and instead the bicycle senses when the rider is pedaling and adds motor power along with the pedaling. Other designs include a throttle allowing the rider to use motor power separately from pedaling. Electric bicycles are extremely popular in China.

UM has developedthe bike and electric system as an integrated whole that works better and looks better. * Industry leading 10 year warranty on the frame with a 12 month warranty on major components and the battery, compared to 6 month frame, 90 days parts for most competitors. * Safety & Security: each bicycle includes a rear wheel lock as well as a chain lock.
