They rolled out their creation during the North American Handmade Bicycle Show March 10-12 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
E-bikes are a new trend among bicycle riders, according to the university.
An e-bike comes equipped with a battery and motor, which help propel the rider. The bike can function as a normal bike, but it can also be fully or partly operated by the motor, according to the university.
The students created a bike with a wooden frame, rather than a metal one, along with Jay Kinsinger, an associate professor of mechanical and bio-medical engineering at Cedarville and a world class wooden bike craftsman.
E-bikes are popular in Europe and Asia, and Kinsinger said the United States could be a great potential market for e-bikes.
