Electric Bikes: Easy To Run, Fast and Quiet
Posted by Electric Bicycle Co. on January 5th, 2016
An electric bike can solve so many problems, from weight issues to global warming. It can be a great alternative to vehicles and the conventional pedal bike, too. Riding an electric bike offers the same benefits as riding a typical bicycle, plus a few more. It still lets you enjoy fresh air and feel the warmth of the sun on your face and the gentle blow of the wind in your hair, even if you are riding in the city. It can minimise the hassles of your typical morning commute and make it easier for you to find a parking spot, so you do not have to worry about being late for work.
High-quality electric bikes are beautifully balanced. They have a lower centre of gravity because the battery is placed in the front of the rear wheel. You can easily run the bicycle and achieve top speeds of 25 to 30 km/hour on a single charge, with a range of 40 to 50km. The speed is ideal for morning commuters and weekend cruises. An electric bike is practical whether you want to avoid traffic and incorporate exercise into your commute. It’s a great way to stay fit, have fun, get out, and explore.
Electric bikes are environmentally friendly. They run on electricity, so they emit a lot less carbon that harms the environment and contribute to global warming. The European Cyclists' Federation found that electric bikes only emit 8.1 percent of the ‘carbon per passenger per kilometre’ that a typical car emits. This means you can minimise your carbon footprint dramatically by riding your e-bike to work once a week—and even more if you ride it every day.
An electric bike can let you access certain places you would never normally reach easily by car or on foot, like certain hiking trails. Electric bikes can also make it easier to climb steep inclines and cover a lot of ground faster. These bikes offer a fun, healthier, and active way to get around and travel, while ensuring an environmentally friendly commute.
An e-bike may help strengthen your core muscles, too. The motor makes it noticeably heavier than a typical bicycle, so you may need to exert more effort when pedalling and steering. This gives your core a solid workout. Hence, an electric bike improves your physical fitness over time.
