Batteries come in different voltages (V) and amp hours (ah).
Amp hours refers to the amount of electrical charge the battery can product in an hour, while voltage determines (in part) the power output of the battery.
Most e-bikes and e-scooters will have lithium-ion batteries.

The motor is what provides assistance. The number of Watts produced by the motor (e.g. 250W), refers to the power output of the motor. The higher the wattage of the motor, the more powerful it is.
In the UK, the maximum legal power output of an e-bike for use on public roads and footpaths is 250W.

Gears
Gears
Having gears, from a company such as Shimano, makes cycling up and over hills easier.
Cycling in a lower gear means less pedalling effort and less speed.
Cycling in a higher gear means more pedalling effort and more speed.
Most e-bikes will come with 7 or 8 gears.
