FAQ
You'll find answers to the most common questions on Viribus tricycles.
What is the battery life of an adult electric bike?
On a single charge, most e-bike batteries provide 20 to 60 miles depending on factors like battery capacity, pedal-assist level, terrain, and rider weight.
In terms of overall lifespan, batteries typically last 3 to 6 years or 500–1,000 full charge cycles, with proper care—such as avoiding full depletion, storing at moderate temperatures, and not leaving it plugged in constantly—helping to maintain performance and extend longevity.
What is the average range of an adult electric bike?
The typical range of an e-bike is 20 miles to 60 miles per charge, though it varies based on factors like battery size, terrain, pedal-assist level, rider weight and so on. Most riders with a standard 500Wh battery can expect 30–50 miles per charge. Using lower assist levels conserves battery and extends range, while higher assist or heavy throttle use, riding on steep hills, or carrying extra weight can reduce it.
How fast can an adult electric bike go?
The top speed of an e bike depends on its class and motor system. Most e bikes generally travel from 20 mph to 28 mph depending on their class.
Class 1 e-bikes provide pedal-assist only, reaching up to 20 mph (32 km/h), while Class 2 bikes add a throttle for motorized riding without pedaling, also up to 20 mph. Class 3 or speed pedelecs offer pedal-assist up to 28 mph (45 km/h) for faster commuting.
Actual speeds can vary based on terrain, rider weight, wind resistance, and the level of assistance used, and local regulations often set these limits to ensure safe riding on streets, bike lanes, and trails.
How does an electric bicycle work?
An e-bike works by combining traditional pedaling with motorized assistance. Most e-bikes have a motor, a battery, and a controller that work together to make riding easier and faster.
When you pedal, the pedal-assist electric bike senses your effort and powers the motor to amplify it, helping you climb hills or maintain higher speeds with less effort. Some e-bikes also have a throttle, allowing the motor to propel the bike without pedaling.
The battery stores energy for the motor, and its range depends on factors like motor power, terrain, rider weight, and pedal usage. Riders can usually adjust the level of motor assistance to balance speed, effort, and battery life, giving a customizable riding experience.
What are the different types of adult electric bikes?
Electric bikes come in various types to fit different needs: commuter and hybrid e bikes for city travel, electric cargo bikes for heavy loads, mountain electric bikes for off-road trails, foldable electric bicycles for portability, fat-tire electric bikes for stability on rough terrain, cruiser electric bikes for relaxed rides, road/gravel e bikes for speed and distance, and adaptive electric bikes for riders with mobility challenges.
In the U.S., e-bikes are also classified by motor assistance and speed. A Class 1 electric bike provides pedal-assist only, up to 20 mph, while A Class 2 eBike adds throttle power with the same speed limit, allowing riders to move without pedaling. Class 3 electric bikes, or speed pedelecs, offer pedal-assist up to 28 mph and are suited for faster commuting, though they may face more restrictions on trails and paths.
What are the benefits of a tricycle over a traditional bike?
Tricycles provide increased stability and balance over two-wheeled bikes, making them ideal for seniors or those with mobility limitations. The three-wheel design also means you can stop and sit upright on the trike without tipping over.
What size adult trike should I get based on my height?
Use the following as a general height guide for our adult trikes electric tricycle:
- 4'10" to 5'2" = 15-24" compact frame
- 5'3" to 6'0" = 20-26" mid-size frame
- Over 6' = 26-29" large frame
How much assembly is required for trikes upon delivery?
Our electric tricycle for adults come 35-40% assembled. You'll just need to straighten and secure the handlebars, attach the seat, and inflate the tires. Full instructions and tools are included. Plan for 90-150 minutes for assembly.
Is the tricycle suitable for individuals who haven't learned to ride a bicycle?
Certainly! Tricycles are an excellent choice for those who haven't mastered riding a bike, offering enhanced stability and balance through their three-wheel design.
What is the difference between an electric trike and a regular tricycle?
An electric trike comes with a motor-assisted system that reduces pedaling effort, making long rides and uphill climbs easier. A regular 3 wheel bike for adults relies entirely on manual
How far can an electric 3 wheel bike travel on a single charge?
Range varies by model and battery capacity, but most electric tricycles can travel between 20-50 miles on a full charge, depending on terrain, rider weight, and level of pedal assist used.
What size bike do I need
Choosing the right size bicycle mainly depends on your height and inner leg length.
- These two measurements will help you find the corresponding frame height, which also determines whether you can comfortably mount the bike and how high the seat needs to be adjusted.
- For greater accuracy, you can also measure your arm span: riders with longer arm spans will find a slightly longer frame more natural and comfortable.
On our product pages, you can find a height chart to quickly view the recommended sizes.
If there is a dealer near you, we strongly recommend visiting the store for a test ride to experience the bike firsthand.
Of course, you can also contact our customer service team at any time, and we will recommend the appropriate model based on your situation.
Do I need a license for an electric bike?
In the United States, most states do not require a driver's license for Class 1 and Class 2 electric bicycles, but Class 3 electric bicycles may require a driver's license or additional restrictions.
Some states also have regulations regarding electric bicycle use, such as licensing, riding age, and helmet requirements.
Most of Viribus' electric bicycles are Class 1 electric bicycles, which can be ridden freely in most states. However, if you plan to ride in national parks or specific areas, it is recommended to check the local regulations in advance.
For more detailed interpretations of state regulations, you can visit our Blog for a complete guide.
Can I leave my eBike battery on charge overnight?
Our charger has a built-in charging protection feature that automatically stops charging once the battery is fully charged. However, we still do not recommend leaving it plugged in for extended periods of time.
Leaving it plugged in for extended periods of time may affect the battery's lifespan and health.
👉 Recommended practice: Unplug it promptly after it is fully charged, or charge it during the day to avoid leaving it unattended overnight.

Based on How the Motor Assists the Rider
E-Bike Classes
Class 1: Pedal-Assist Electric Bike Only (Up to 20 mph)
Class 1 e-bikes provide assistance only when you are actively pedaling. The motor automatically engages to amplify your effort and stops assisting once you reach 20 mph.
Best for: Commuters, casual riders, and those who want a smooth, exercise-friendly ride.
Class 2: Throttle + Pedal-Assist Electric Bike (Up to 20 mph)
Class 2 e-bikes come with both pedal-assist and a throttle. This means you can ride without pedaling at all by simply using the throttle, similar to a scooter, or choose to pedal with motor assistance. The top assisted speed is also capped at 20 mph.
Best for: Riders seeking convenience, beginners, or those who want a more effortless riding option.
Class 3: Pedal-Assist Electric Bike Only (Up to 28 mph)
Class 3 e-bikes, also known as speed pedelecs, provide pedal-assist only but at higher speeds—up to 28 mph. They are designed for faster commuting and longer-distance travel, making them a great alternative to cars for urban transportation.
Because of their higher speed, Class 3 e-bikes are often restricted to roads or bike lanes and may not be allowed on shared-use paths or trails. In many regions, riders may also be required to wear a helmet and follow additional regulations.
Best for: Experienced riders, long-distance commuters, and those who prioritize speed and efficiency.
