electric assist
Battery-powered cycling help
Electric assist refers to a motor that supplements human power, most commonly on bicycles.
An e-bike with electric assist amplifies the rider's pedaling rather than replacing it entirely: The electric assist kicks in when you start up a hill.
The term appears in other contexts where motors augment manual effort, such as power steering or wheelchair propulsion.
