What is pedal assist? Pedal assist electric bikes respond to your pedaling cadence. As you turn the pedals, the motor controller sends electricity to the rear wheel to drive the bike forward. The pedal assist has up to 5 power settings, with setting number 1 being the lowest. This adds power to the rear wheel up to about 20 km per hour.
However when an electric bike does the same thing and slows to walking speed on the hills it seems way under powered. To maintain nice speeds over 30 kph while going uphill requires on the order of 400-500 watts or more. On the flat, 400 watts (about 1/2 horsepower) will move a typical bicycle about 40 km/h.
