A motorized bicycle includes: a frame; a plurality of wheels coupled to the frame; pedals coupled to the frame for driving at least one of the wheels; a motor coupled to the pedals and at least one of the wheels; a battery for supplying power to the motor; and a controller. When the controller determines that the motorized bicycle is traveling on a flat terrain or a decline, it enters or maintains a regeneration mode, where electric power is generated when a rider of the motorized bicycle pedals, and the electric power is used to charge the battery. When the controller determines that the motorized bicycle is traveling on an incline, it enters or maintains an assistance mode, where any regeneration of the battery is stopped, and power output from the motor is used to assist the rider in propelling the motorized bicycle forward.
