1. 1電動機車(字典這裡指電動摩托車;市面上說 e-bike,多半是有踏板的電動自行車)

    In the sense filed here, an e-bike is a small whose power comes from electricity, not petrol. You ride it as you would a ; the e- tells you the engine is electric. In British English, bike often already means a , which is why a ’s dictionary can file the word this way. Though actually, the street and the shops do not fully match that tidy label. In a lot of everyday English — product boxes, news, cycling talk — e-bike much more often means an electric bicycle: it still has pedals, and a motor helps you. An electric or scooter is then called an electric motorcycle, e-scooter, or, in Taiwan, 電動機車. If you meet the word under “” in a dictionary, that is the meaning they filed; if you meet it in a shop, look at the picture — pedals or not — before you decide.

    e-bike 在字典這裡指用電力驅動的小型摩托車,騎法和機車一樣,e- 表示引擎是電動的。英式英語的 bike 常本來就指摩托車,所以字典會這樣歸類。

    但在日常英文、商品與新聞裡,e-bike 多半指電動自行車,它有踏板,還有馬達輔助。真正的電動機車,英文可以說 electric motorcycle 或 e-scooter,台灣則說「電動機車」。遇到這個字時,先看圖片有沒有踏板,再判斷是哪一種車。

以下是外部詞典記錄的用法,摘錄並精簡格式,我們還沒有寫成教學內容。上面的說明才是我們自己寫的;有些用法可能上面已經講過了。

e-bikenoun/ˈiː.baɪk/

  • 1

    informalA bicycle assisted by, or powered by, an electric motor.

    • The e-bikes glide past slow, one of the kids turning his bike around. He's tall, with his black hair slicked back with grease, shining in the glow of the other bikes' lights. In the sockets of his eyes she can see only mirrors. Artificial Sonys. The kid's ironed.
    • ELECTRIC BIKES ("E-BIKES") Because e-bike speeds and power are more similar to human-powered bicycles than to motorcycles, I believe their users will need bicycle-style traffic-skills education (Effective Electric Cycling?). I also believe e-bikes, with strict power or acceleration limits, should be allowed to use bike lanes -- think about it.
