A pedal assist e-bike only provides assistance when you push the pedals and engage the motor. With pedal assist, you can select your preferred level of assistance. Most bikes have three to five levels of assist, ranging from low to high. You do not have to think about engaging pedal assist for it to work. You can enjoy your ride, and the pedal assist will kick in as you pedal depending on the level of assistance you set it.
For example, if you choose a low setting, you will experience a little pedal assistance while you pedal harder and get a workout. A high setting, on the other hand, will get you where you need to go quickly and with a lot less effort than a low setting. A throttle e-bike propels the bike forward without needing to pedal.
