Electric bicycles--powered by a rechargeable battery pack--are proven to deliver the highest possible energy efficiency, even compared to pedal bikes. A transportation alternative to fossil fuels, electric bicycles are fast catching on, in part because they don't require factory assembly. End-users can easily construct them with available components. The text reveals important techniques, data, and examples that allow readers to judge various propulsion setups--used in both home- and factory-made bikes--and estimate speed and travel distance for each. Numerous charts clearly present the costs, benefits, and trade-offs between both commercial and user-converted models. Key features include: Estimating motor-performance for wind, hill, and cruising power requirements Estimating battery capacity and a thorough description of battery charging Motor and motor-control options Evaluating motor-to-wheel coupling options Placement of propulsion components Configurations and performance How systems-engineering techniques can produce electric-bicycle designs that have long travel range and low life-cycle cost Testing Developments to watch A comprehensive resource for harnessing innovation, Electric Bicycles is the definitive practical guide to taking full advantage of this exciting alternative energy technology. Review: Very technical and not very usefull - This is not a How to Build an Electric Bike Guide. The Physics of Electric Bikes and Batteries is what it covers. Graphs, charts and the physics of how batteries work. Not much useful information for those who just want to build a bike out of kit parts. Review: Technical Approach - I enjoyed this book, but it may not be for everyone. Good technical coverage for batteries, motors etc. But it is not a how to book. Still a good reference on the topic. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #4,133,644 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #215 in Bike Repair #3,114 in Mechanical Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 6 Reviews | ## Images ![Electric Bicycles: A Guide to Design and Use (IEEE Press Series on Electronics Technology) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WNdryOJgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Very technical and not very usefull *by S***R on March 9, 2012* This is not a How to Build an Electric Bike Guide. The Physics of Electric Bikes and Batteries is what it covers. Graphs, charts and the physics of how batteries work. Not much useful information for those who just want to build a bike out of kit parts. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Technical Approach *by R***S on August 15, 2012* I enjoyed this book, but it may not be for everyone. Good technical coverage for batteries, motors etc. But it is not a how to book. Still a good reference on the topic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Electric bikes! *by K***R on September 7, 2008* A really good overview of the various ways to power an electric bike. The author describes DC series motors (cheap, available, heavy) and the 3 phase AC motors (light, efficient, costly) as well as battery requirements. Obviously we would all like a bicycle that is light, efficient, and can be powered by muscle or electricity as required with no weight penalty: not gonna happen. Electric bikes are for efficient transportation to work, school, shopping. They will always be heavier and glonkier than traditional human powered bikes. but they may fill a niche for those of us who really depend on our bikes to get around. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/1402178-electric-bicycles-a-guide-to-design-and-use-ieee-press](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/1402178-electric-bicycles-a-guide-to-design-and-use-ieee-press) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
