When you are going to purchasing an ebike, you will find some brand says their motor power is 350W or 750W and some how. But do you know what exact means about folding ebike motor power?
Ebike motor power divided into 2 types: Rated power also know as Nominal power; and Peak power also know as Maximum power.
Rated Power:
Definition: Rated power refers to the power level at which the ebike motor is designed to operate continuously and stably. The ebike motor can run for long periods at this power level, achieving optimal efficiency and minimal losses.
Significance: Rated power reflects the ebike motor's regular performance and is the main reference value for normal use of the ebike.

Peak Power:
Definition: Peak power refers to the maximum power output the ebike motor can achieve for a short period. This is usually reached during high-load conditions or when starting up your folding ebike.
Significance: Peak power is often used to describe the ebike motor's capacity under extreme conditions, such as during acceleration or climbing. However, operating at peak power for extended periods can lead to overheating or potential damage to the motor, and will dry your ebike battery out quickly.
For example, when you are using Qualisports folding ebike Volador, this bike's rated motor power is 350W while the peak power is approaching 500W, peak power while help you getting through some extreme conditions like uphills or heavy load.
Many folding ebikes on the market prefer talking about peak power, because it look like their folding bikes are powerful. Some folding ebikes will tell you their are talking about rated or peak power while others don't.
As folding electric bike brand, Qualisports lightweight folding electric bike could not provide higher motor power. Our folding ebike positioning is lightweight folding ebike, and we have the lightest folding ebike Nemo on the market.
So, rated power represents the ebike motor's stable operating capacity, while peak power represents the ebike motor's short-term output capability under extreme conditions.
