Electric Bike Revolution

The electric motor on an e-bike has made pedaling a lot easier for the average rider while allowing for faster speeds, more control, and an improved range for all of their potential uses.

Bicycles have been a convenient means of transport since the end of the Second World War, since then, cycling has become mostly a recreational activity. However, we are seeing cycling return to prominence as more and more people move to crowded metropolitan cities.

TOP BENEFITS OF ELECTRIC BIKES

Travel Time:

Surely an outrageous notion - but the average city dweller knows this to be true in their hearts. Urban congestion has led to traffic moving very slowly at peak hours, not to mention the frequent roadblocks we all encounter while driving to and from the destination.  In such scenarios, the benefits of electric cycles are considerable.

An e-bike will get you to your destination faster than a traditional pedal bike and in many cases, faster than a car. If the traffic has become an annoyance, an e-bike is an ideal remedy for you. The harder you pedal, the bigger the boost, the faster you're going to ride. Let us not forget the benefit of riding a bike versus a vehicle, too.

Eliminates Sedentary Lifestyles:

Regular physical activity from an electric bike will boost your blood circulation, activate your core muscles, relieve stress, and release joy-giving endorphins throughout your body. If you've been trying to give up a sedentary lifestyle and add some physical activity, an electric bike fits a lot better into your routine than an infrequent jog or an elusive workout.

A Better Form of Exercise:

Yes, you still get exercise with an e-bike. While e-bikes do some work for you, they still count as exercise, particularly for people who have otherwise been sedentary. Researchers at Colorado University, found that when 20 inactive men and women rode an e-bike  for about 40 minutes a day three times a week, their cardiovascular health and blood sugar improved in just one month, that's impressive!

Many people are not physically fit enough to have meaningful health and fitness benefits from cycling, however;  if you put them on an electric bike, then they go out and ride for an hour and enjoy the benefits of being outside, riding with friends and gain the health benifits.

A single charge on a battery-powered bike can carry the rider a great distance, further than anyone would ride with a non-powered bike. When you travel a long distance, you're improving your health such as your endurance, blood circulation, and more. An e-bike opens the door to many health benefits but also social benefits, too. Ride with friends, go visit family and friends, go shopping or to the movies, and more. E-bikes will improve your health but also, e-bikes can bring people together. Perhaps consider joining an e-bike riding club and make friends while riding in new and exciting places, something most e-bike riders would never have considered on a regular peddle powered bike.

Improves Core Strength:

As we mentioned earlier, an electric bike helps you ride for an extended period of time building up your stamina and endurance to name a couple health benefits. Also, slowly but continuously, this exercise routine adapts your body to a faster metabolic rate helping your body rejuvenate itself in several beneficial ways.

The muscles start developing a high endurance capacity and reduce release of lactic acid. Cycling involves most of the major muscle groups and explicitly trains your core muscles improving strength and tone. All of this is made more accessible by an electric bike.

Comfortably Ride to...Work, Home, Play, Friends, Family, Park, Games...:

Where will you ride YOUR e-bike? Riding an e-bike is a far better option than riding a traditional pedal bike. What's that? You want to know how that's possible?

Well....  When you ride an e-bike, you can go further, faster and with less exertion. So how does this help you? When you get to your destination, you're not exhausted, sweaty, and disheveled. You will arrive feeling great from the health benefits, while not expending much of your energy reserves just to get from point A to point B.  

Riding Becomes Easier:

At their core, e-bikes are bicycles with a battery-powered "assist" that comes through pedaling and, in some cases, a throttle. As you peddle your e-bike while on pedal-assist, an electric motor gives you a boost when pedal assist is on, so you can fly up hills and cross rough terrain without exhausting yourself.

Increase Your Recreational Outings:

If your preferred destination is within range, you can explore the area without any concern for remaining battery charge. Regardless of where you take your e-bike, you can enjoy the ride there and back again, while taking in the scenery and actually enjoying the ride, leaving you looking forward to your next ride out.

For The Whole Family, FOR ANY REASON:

Electric bicycles fall into a unique product category, a multipurpose vehicle specifically designed to be used by anyone, unlike sports cycles that are not marketed to all individuals. An electric bike has many uses for the whole family.

An electric bike has something for everyone. Electric bikes can be used to share with anyone, run errands around the community, or take a ride in your neighborhood. It may be used by any member of the family in these settings and many more!

Story time: We know of a few individuals that have purchased an e-bike to ride to and from their work. They use their e-bike daily and get a lot of joy from it. We have also seen many bikes with over 4,000 miles on them and they are still going strong. E-bikes have many uses from recreation, work, and an individual's primary transportation.

Get Some Stress Relief:

Regularly using your electric bicycle makes sure your muscles are worked and besides the obvious health benefits, stress relief is one of them. When you need an escape without the stress, hop on an e-bike for a ride to get some unwanted energy out and the endorphins rolling.

Saves Time:

Riding an e-bike is helpful in a number of ways, one of which is time saving. When an individual rides their e-bike to their destination, in some cases it is faster than a vehicle and much less expensive than a ride-share fee. Not to mention, the benefit of exercise and just being outside.

Good For The Environment:

E-bikes are good for your health, good for saving time, good for bringing the family together, and much more. Another "good for" to add to the list is good for the environment! When an individual is riding an e-bike to their destination instead of a vehicle, they are taking a lot of emission off the table and you can be sure mother nature is thanking you for that. Also, unlike electric vehicles, electric bikes cost a lot less and take a lot less to charge. The benefit of using an e-bike is not only a great cost-saving measure, but the benefit to our home called Earth, is immeasurable.

No Need For A Special License:

Since an electric bike comes with a top speed of 25 miles per hour, you do not need a special license to operate an e-bike in most parts of the United States. Enjoy the trip and forget the traffic without the cost and red tape.

Less Expensive To Maintain:

Compared to cars, motorcycles, and other fuel-consuming transportation options, the cost of purchasing and maintaining an e-bike is significantly lower. Not only that, but the cost of actually running an e-bike is significantly lower because there's no cost of fuel, oil, insurance, tags, etc. Plus... you can avoid additional costs like parking tickets, speeding fines, and more.

When it comes down to it: You're going to spend a lot less on charging your e-bike than you're going to spend fueling and maintaining an ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) Vehicle.

Conquer The Hills and Headwinds:

If you don't like cycling because it's to difficult to ride uphill or against the wind due to various reasons, consider this problem solved. Electric bikes today will carry you uphill and against a headwind with pure ease with the e-bikes capable electric motor.

Great For Physical Recovery:

Many people use electric bikes to recover from an injury or surgery. When riding a traditional, non-powered bike may be out of the question as a standard bike may worsen an injury as a result of exertion, an e-bike can take the heavy lifting out of the equation. E-bikes allow you to exert yourself to a comfortable limit, allowing the e-bike to take on some of the heavy lifting.

Intuitive Designs and Plenty of Variety:

Just a few short years ago, electric bikes were heavy, clumsy, bulky and expensive. Oh, how the times have changed. Technology has pushed e-bikes into modern-day sensibilities while the production process has been streamlined and the batteries are more compact and pack more power than ever. Today, we can get an e-bike for any budget and riding style for anyone. We sure have come a long way in such a short time!

Now that the word is out about the benefits of an e-bike, people that would have never riden a bike are buying an e-bike, others who never would ride for any real distance are riding for miles and miles every day. The revolution is here and it's only going to get better and better as time moves forward. New innovations are on the horizon and e-bikes will get more and more advanced, possibly out pacing vehicle sales in the future.

Why YOU Should Ride an Electric Bike:

E-bikes are an emerging trend and they are here to stay. All over the world, e-bikes are replacing vehicles in personal and commercial use. E-bikes save time, money, space, the environment, traffic aggravation, and more. In the end, it is your decision to explore what an e-bike can do for you. But one thing is certain: now is the time to move, ride, and enjoy the birth of a new, modern and effective form of healthy, environment loving transportation.
