An electric bicycle, also known as an e-bike or booster bike, is a bicycle with an integrated electric motor which can be used for propulsion.

There are a great variety of e-bikes available worldwide, from e-bikes that only have a small motor to assist the rider's pedal-power (i.e., pedelecs) to somewhat more powerful e-bikes which tend closer to moped-style functionality: all, however, retain the ability to be pedalled by the rider and are therefore not electric motorcycles.

E-bikes use rechargeable batteries and the lighter varieties can travel up to, depending on the laws of the country in which they are sold, while the more high-powered varieties can often do in excess of.

In some markets, such as Germany, they are gaining in popularity and taking some market share away from conventional bicycles, while in others, such as China, they are replacing fossil fuel-powered mopeds and small motorcycles.

Route planning software is a computer software program designed to plan a (optimal) route between two geographical locations using a journey planner specialized for road networks for the purposes of providing automotive navigation.

It can typically provide a list of places one will pass by, with crossroads and directions that must be followed, road numbers, distances, etc.

It also usually provides an interactive map with a suggested route marked on it.

Many online mapping websites offer road route planning as an additional feature of their mapping functions.

Applications can sometimes also calculate the journey time and cost, and some also display points of interest along the route.

Cycling, also called bicycling or biking, is the use of bicycles for transport, recreation, exercise or sport.

Persons engaged in cycling are referred to as "cyclists", "bikers", or less commonly, as "bicyclists".

Apart from two-wheeled bicycles, "cycling" also includes the riding of unicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, recumbent and similar human-powered vehicles (HPVs).

A mountain bike or mountain bicycle (abbreviated Mtn Bike, MTB; or ATB, for all-terrain bicycle) is a bicycle designed for off-road cycling.

Mountain bikes share similarities with other bikes, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain.

These typically include suspension on the frame and fork, large knobby tires, more durable heavy duty wheels, more powerful brakes, and lower gear ratios needed for steep grades with poor traction.

Cycling infrastructure refers to all infrastructure which may be used by cyclists.

This includes the same network of roads and streets used by motorists, except those roads from which cyclists have been banned (e.g., many freeways/motorways), plus additional bikeways that are not available to motor vehicles, such as bike paths, bike lanes, cycle tracks and, where permitted, sidewalks, plus amenities like bike racks for parking and specialized traffic signs and signals.
