Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'electronic' (relating to electronic/electric technology) with 'bicycle' (a two-wheeled vehicle); the compound straightforwardly denotes a bicycle that uses electronic assistance. This modifier+noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows predictable composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily grasp the meaning (noting that 'electric bicycle' is the more frequent idiom).
Etymology
Electronic bicycle comes from joining electronic, meaning a small electric motor and battery, with bicycle, a bike you pedal. So it means 'a bicycle with an electric motor that helps or replaces pedaling'.
