How far can an electric bike go on one charge?
Most quality e-bikes deliver 25–50 miles per charge depending on motor power, terrain, rider weight, and whether you use pedal assist. Our 750W Hidoes C1 delivers up to 35 miles per charge on standard mode.
Do I need a license to ride an electric bike?
In most US states, e-bikes under 750W and 20 mph do not require a license, registration, or insurance. Always check your local regulations. Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are street-legal in nearly all states.
How long does the battery last?
Most lithium-ion e-bike batteries last 500–1000 charge cycles before significant degradation — typically 3–5 years of regular use. Proper storage (50–80% charge, cool temperature) extends battery life.
Is free shipping available on electric bikes?
Yes. Soundmali offers free shipping on orders over $75. All e-bikes come carefully packaged and partially assembled — typically requiring only wheel and handlebar attachment (30 minutes).
