Big & Tall Electric Bikes

Do you need a license for an ebike?

No. As long as you’re using a motor size under 750 watts and the ebike doesn’t go over 20mph when not pedaling, you’re good to go. However, you should still check local regulations for operating electric vehicles in public spaces, as most places require you to be at least 16 years of age.

Are ebikes heavy?

At Zinn Cycles, we’ve developed proprietary technology that ensures all of our big and tall electric bike frames are as lightweight as possible. We work with titanium frames to ensure the additional battery and motor weight don’t hamper your freedom.

What is an ebike’s range?

An ebike’s range is dependent on how much you use the battery as opposed to pedaling. With light pedaling, most of our bikes have a range that falls between 25 to 55 miles per charge.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

Most lithium-ion batteries that are completely depleted take between 3 to 6 hours to fully charge. Usually, the last hour of charging is considered a “top-off” so many people don’t wait for the end of that process, riding their ebike once it reaches 90% charge.

How fast can an electric bike go?

The top speed of an electric bike can reach up to 28 mph, but that’s when you utilize the assist while also pedaling yourself. Most bikes stop providing electric assistance once you reach speeds of 20 mph in accordance with licensing laws.

How much does an ebike reduce my carbon footprint?

In most cases, an electric bike’s footprint uses an average of 20-30 times fewer resources than a single-occupancy, gas-powered car.
