Electric Bike - An Improvement from Traditional Motorcycles

Posted by AMIT PARMAR on May 6th, 2016

The motorcycle was first created in the late 1800’s and is no doubt an excellent mode of transportation. It can help you zip around traffic and drive through areas that are too small for a car. The problem is, a traditional motorcycle runs on gas—not exactly environment friendly. If you want to diminish your carbon footprint and are looking to go greener, it’s time to give electric bikes a try. Electric bikes are an excellent improvement from the traditional motorcycle, and here are just some of the many reasons why:

  • No gas – Electric bikes run on powerful batteries that can be charged using regular household current. What’s more, the charger for electric bikes is portable. You can charge up just about anywhere.
  • Convenient – An electric bike needs to charge for around 6 to 8 hours. While you are asleep, you can charge up your electric bike. When you wake up, both you and your electric bike are fully charged and ready to go. A regular electric bike can travel a distance of 100 to 130 kilometres.
  • Quick but safe – Electric bikes are not slow. In fact, some models can offer a top speed of 65km/h or even 100km/h. Still, because of its speed limitations, electric bikes are safer than traditional motorcycles. The average maximum speed of the electric bike is around 25km/h or 15.5mph.

Are you worried about design? Don’t be. Electric bikes these days are sleek and stylish. You might not even be able to tell the difference between an e-bike and a traditional motorcycle. What’s more, many electric bike designs and models are available in the market. You’ll be able to find one that will bring you back to the 70’s with its nostalgic moped style.

Just like traditional motorcycles, electric bikes also come with storage (which is handy if you bought items at the market or are carrying many things to your school or office). Its shorter range of 15 - 40 miles (depending on model) is adequate for shops and short travels. A comfortable saddle is also added to electric bikes, ideal for leisurely driving throughout the city. You don’t have to worry about gas so you can go and ride as you please, even if you don’t really have anywhere to go to. Some of the electric bikes also offer an option of storage within the bike.

Electric bikes are very practical—even more practical than traditional motorcycles. Apart from saving money on gas, you also never have to worry about maintenance. What’s more, e-bikes use up less energy than traditional motorcycles. And since electric bikes are becoming more popular and are sold by many manufacturers, prices have significantly dropped down, so can afford one.
