When you first look at electric bike specifications, it’s easy to assume that bigger numbers automatically mean a better bike. In reality, each spec simply describes how the bike performs under real-world riding conditions.
At Aipas, every model is designed around practical riding scenarios. Once you understand what each specification actually means on the road, choosing the right bike becomes much more straightforward.
Battery and Range — How Far You Can Ride
What It Means
Battery specifications are typically shown as:
Voltage (V): Influences how strong and responsive the power delivery feels.
Amp Hours (Ah): Indicates how much energy the battery can store.
Estimated Range: The projected riding distance under specific test conditions.
How It Affects Your Ride
Higher Voltage
- Smoother and more consistent power delivery
- Better performance at higher speeds
Higher Amp Hours (Ah)
- Greater energy storage capacity
- Longer potential riding distance
Real-World Considerations
- If you mainly ride on city streets, overall efficiency often matters more than sheer battery size.
- If you take longer trips or ride in suburban or rural areas, a larger battery can help reduce how often you need to recharge.
If range is your top priority, consider these options
Longest Available Range → V2
Long Range + Better Terrain Capability → M2 Series
Balanced Long Range for City Riding → C2 / C1
Motor Power (Watts) — How Powerful the Bike Feels
What It Means
Motor power indicates how much output the motor can deliver.
How It Affects Your Ride
750W – 1000W
- Smooth and controlled city riding
- More efficient battery usage
1100W – 1800W
- Stronger acceleration
- Improved hill-climbing capability
3000W+
- Extreme performance
- Designed for off-road or high-speed riding
Real-World Considerations
- For city commuting, mid-range power typically delivers the best balance of performance and efficiency.
- For frequent hill climbing, heavier riders, or carrying cargo, a higher-powered motor can provide noticeably better support.
If Power Is Your Top Priority, Consider
Extreme Performance → S1
High Power + Versatility → M2
Balanced Urban Power → C2 / A4
Torque (Nm) — The Pulling Power When You Start
What It Means
Torque measures rotational force.
Simply put, it determines how strong the bike feels when starting from a stop or climbing a hill.
How It Affects Your Ride
50–80 Nm
- Suitable for flat urban riding
80–120 Nm
- Handles hills with ease
- Better for carrying cargo or extra weight
200+ Nm
- Built for extreme hill climbing
- Designed for aggressive off-road conditions
Real-World Riding Experience
Higher torque is especially helpful for:
- Climbing steep hills
- Starting quickly in stop-and-go traffic
- Carrying cargo or additional weight
- Riding over rough or uneven surfaces
If Torque Is Your Top Priority, Consider
Maximum Torque → S1
Strong and Practical Torque → M2
Top Speed — Maximum Assisted Speed (and How It Feels)
What It Means
Top speed refers to the highest speed the motor will assist you.
How It Affects the Bike
Higher top speeds usually require:
- A more powerful motor
- A larger battery
- A sturdier frame and stronger braking system
Real-World Riding Experience
- City Riding: Around 28 mph typically feels fast enough for urban commuting.
- Suburban or Open Roads: 30–36 mph feels more natural when traffic flows faster.
- High-Performance / Off-Road: 40+ mph enters true performance-riding territory and requires advanced control and caution.
If Speed Is Your Top Priority, Consider
Maximum Speed → S1
Fast and Versatile → M2
Quick Urban Riding → C2 / A Series
Frame Type and Suspension — Comfort and Ease of Use
What It Means
Frame design affects:
- How easy it is to get on and off the bike
- Your riding posture
- Overall stability
Suspension affects:
- Ride comfort
- Control on rough or uneven surfaces
- Overall riding experience
Step-Through Frame
- Easier mounting and dismounting
- Ideal for stop-and-go city riding
Full Suspension
- Provides improved comfort on rough terrain
- Enhances stability and control over uneven surfaces
If Comfort Is Your Top Priority, Consider
Relaxed Everyday Riding → A4
Maximum Comfort → F3
Stability + Multi-Terrain Capability → M2
Smart Picks by What You Care About Most
If your main priority is:
Extreme Performance → S1
Final Thoughts
The best electric bike isn’t the one with the biggest numbers.
It’s the one that best matches how you actually ride.
Once you understand what each specification means in real-world conditions, choosing the right model becomes much simpler.
