Abstract—Two global problems that require attention are the depletion of fossil fuels and the rise in pollution caused by internal combustion engine vehicles. The implementation of electric vehicles is a potential solution to these issues concerning environmental degradation and energy security. With numerous advantages, Electric Bicycles (EBs) have become a popular type of electric vehicle attracting much attention. This article provides an account of the electric bicycle’s history, including the development of its basic structure and its various classifications. The article then delves into the issues that EBs are currently facing, along with the solutions to these problems. After reading some past papers, journals, and articles, I’ve come to some conclusions: today’s EBs are at their best, but there are still some intractable problems. In this information, this paper summarized the history of EB development, and its possible problems and gave some solutions. As a result of this analysis, it can be concluded that EBs have attained a relatively stable state in their development. There is a growing number of individuals who have started to focus on EBs due to the increasing trend of environmental protection. They are light, environmentally friendly, easy to learn, and reasonably priced. But although riding EBs is becoming a popular way to travel, they still have many safety hazards. And many EB users do not have good safety awareness, which often leads to accidents. There are also design problems with some EBs that can directly or indirectly lead to accidents or pose a threat to a person’s health. So we should think about solutions and actively solve these problems. Thus, this paper has analyzed the information given in some articles and summarized some solutions that I hope will make some contribution to the future development of EBs.
