What are the benefits of the electric bike? Quickly becoming a modern phenomenon, it’s easy to see why. They offer many advantages over other modes of transport, both for the driver and for the environment; this is why we decided to develop our own range. The most obvious benefit is that the electric motor allows you to ride further, faster and longer than a normal bike, regardless of your fitness level. Read on to learn more about the benefits of owning an electric bike .
Cycle without wasted effort
Regardless of how you usually commute to work, chances are your trip could be enhanced by using an e-bike. Using a regular bike will often leave you sweaty and out of breath when you get to the office, especially if you have steep hills to climb or it’s a particularly windy day. With an e-bike, you can take advantage of electric assistance to climb virtually effortlessly, to give you a boost if the wind is against you, and generally save you energy for the rest of the day. Never show up restless, sweaty, and out of breath at your morning meetings again. Similarly, a quick ride home is the perfect antidote to a stressful day at work.
If you usually drive or take public transport, using an electric bike will provide you with fresh air and exercise to start or end your day. You will also avoid traffic jams, train delays and being packed like a sardine!
A cheaper way to travel
In addition to walking, every mode of transportation has a cost, and over time these costs can add up. Using a car or motorbike is very expensive; you must pay for the vehicle itself, taxes, insurance, regular trips to a service station and maintenance costs if your vehicle is damaged. If you live or work in a major city, you may also incur emissions or congestion costs (such as London congestion charges). Public transport is also very expensive, with season tickets and transport cards costing up to several hundred euros each year.
With an e-bike, you make a one-time payment and don’t have to worry about taxes, insurance, fuel, or subscription expiration dates
Less harmful to the environment
Today more than ever, people are becoming aware of the environmental impact of our travel habits and want to find greener alternatives. Transportation is one of the biggest contributors to global warming, so the need for alternatives cannot be overstated. Electric vehicles are a way to limit our dependence on fossil fuels, and electric bicycles in particular consume much less electricity than electric cars or electric motorcycles due to their compact size and weight. . E-bikes are a sustainable means of transport for the future.
They make cycling more accessible
The health benefits of cycling are well known. It is a form of aerobic exercise that makes the heart beat faster and helps lower blood pressure, improve sleep quality, reduce symptoms of depression and improve your overall fitness. The problem is that the bike is not suitable for many people. Many people find it physically difficult, especially in mountainous areas or places with heavy traffic. E-bikes help the rider by absorbing some – or all – of the effort, which means more people can enjoy the benefits of cycling without suffering the drawbacks. Cycling purists might say that’s cheating,
It’s really fun!
Last, but not least, riding an e-bike is great fun. It’s almost impossible to ride a bike and not enjoy it, especially when you have an electric motor to give you a boost! Our bikes use the same Lithium-ion battery cells used by Tesla in their Model S, allowing you to glide effortlessly through your favorite city and for long distances.
