Things You Need to Know about E-Bike Noise

Jan 09, 2022

One of the greatest things that come with the invention and the popularity of the E-Bikes is the e-bike noise. More precisely, the lack of e-bike noise they provide. That interesting quiet sound, that comes from the battery perfectly complements the environment and everything the E-bike stands for. Most commonly, the E-bikes are classified as quiet bikes. And that comes from the battery and the motor. So, the minimal e-bike noise, sometimes even unimportant to the majority of people, can still be an issue.

The E-bikes are not completely silent. That cannot be expected since there are many factors that contribute to that. Even though the industry and the entire technology are moving towards achieving that noiseless moment, the E-bikes are currently closest to that. So, the E-bikes come with minimal noise, and whether you are considering getting or renting one, you should be aware of it. However, this noise is so minimal that it should not be a deal-breaker in terms of whether the E-bike is the solution for you or not.

Here are some things that you need to know about E-bike noise:

Motor Noise

The first and the most noticeable noise that comes from the E-bike is the motor noise. Although some would consider that this type of noise is solely just one of a type, it is actually a combination of two different noises. How is that exactly? Well, the first type of noise is mechanical noise. This noise is caused by the bearing of the shaft. This comes due to the rotation speed motors, which are usually faster about 10-50 times than their ICE. That is why the noise can be loud. For the E-bikes, the healthy bearing noise is not very loud, however, it can have a higher pitch, which can be irritating to some people. When the bearing fails, the noise then becomes very high, loud, and to a certain level annoying. Another thing is the gear hub motors. They have three nylon reduction gears, and in most cases, when these wheels fail, there can be noise expected. That is because they are under excessive load and the nylon gears can break or melt. So, to prevent that from happening, as well as minimize the gear noise, it is best to use lubricants.

Chain Noise

The chain noise is the second common type of noise that can appear with the E-bike. Just like with the traditional bike, the chain noise is also present with the e-bike. Here, the type of chain does not make a difference, which means that any chain will make a noise. The larger the chain, the louder the noise will become, which is an expected thing. Also, the quality of the chain contributes greatly to the noise. A chain with poor quality will produce more noise. This comes because this type of chain has more contact with the gears. This contact will not be very smooth, especially during the process of loading or unloading gears. The chain should be repaired as much as possible and frequently, and that way, the chain noise will be reduced.

How to Choose E-bike which is not noisy

Just like picking a car, that will be quiet, picking an E-bike that will not produce much noise is essential and deal-making for many people. Riding an E-bike is a truly exceptional and interesting activity. It combines both the pedal-assisted and the motor part of the E-bike. Switching through the modes delivers an extraordinary ride, possible for different terrain and different conditions. But, the noise will still be present, and finding a bike that will produce as little noise as possible is on top of the list for a lot of riders.

The lack of noise is an understandable and important thing. It is definitely in the top 3 things that make one E-bike a great E-bike. So, how can one find an E-bike that is not noisy?

The noise of most electric bikes is quite small. Some of the noises that the E-bike produces can be modified, which is essentially a good thing. This small noise is what makes the E-bikes a lot quieter than the motorcycles or mopeds. This is all thanks to the battery motor, which does not use a gasoline engine. There are many examples online where you can listen to the E-bike's noise, which can put your mind straight. Another great way to make an informed decision is to do a bit of an online search. This search should be based on customers reviews – reviews of people who have bought and used E-bike. Through the reviews and the comments, you will get the sense and the feeling of what to expect from your model of E-Bike.

As a brand that promotes innovation, design, and quality in E-bikes, Himiway offers several different models of E-bikes. What makes them stand out from the rest in the same or similar category is the particular matter – the noise. Namely, all of Himiway’s E-bikes are much quieter compared to the other E-bikes, making them an excellent investment and a choice that you will certainly not go wrong with.

Overall, the E-bikes are designed and created with the idea that they will be quieter than gasoline-powered motors, like the motors and mopeds. While the comparison here might not be appropriate, since the E-bike is much quieter than the above-mentioned vehicles, there is still some noise that can be expected. It comes from the motor and the chain, but again, it is not disturbing, annoying, or loud for that matter. The choice of the right E-bike comes from personal decision how much noise is enough noise and how much of it can actually be tolerated. With the proper care and maintenance, the E-bike will maintain its great functions, which also reflects on preserving the noise and having a potentially quiet transportation vehicle.
