Why You Should Get An Electric Bike!

by Alexa Hamilton

Electric bikes are all the rage these days. That is because they are changing the world, and Americans are finally starting to catch on. For example, did you know that big delivery companies in Europe are making "mini trucks" which are actually just an e-bike in disguise? Millions of people around the world have discovered the effectiveness and ease of riding electric bikes, and people in the United States are beginning to notice. There are several reasons why cyclists are trading in their old bikes for an electric bike, some of which are as follows.

Pedaling Goes Further

Electric bikes use a battery to multiply your efforts. Some motors are powered by your cadence, while others basically match your power. Either way, your efforts are helped so that, all of the sudden, going up hills isn't as hard as it used to be and you are able to go much further without tiring. 

Get There Faster

In addition, all of that power matching allows you to go much further than on your power alone. The average (regular) commuting cyclist goes about 11-15 mph, while with that much energy you can easily maintain 20 mph on an e-bike. That means that commuting on an e-bike will literally cut your commute time in half. 

Arrive Looking Presentable

What's more, if you commute on a regular bicycle and exert so much energy, you may look awful upon arriving. That is one reason why many people choose not to cycle to work since they need to look good when they get there. An e-bike makes your commute easier, allowing you to maintain your dignity and composure. Your coworkers will probably not even know that you already got a full workout in on your way to work. Instead of showing up sweating, tired, and in need of a shower, you can get there faster and look like you are ready to get to work.

In conclusion, electric bikes are the transportation of the future. Not only do they still provide the health benefits of riding a bicycle, but you may actually save time commuting to close destinations. There are many different vendors who have a wide variety of bikes for sale online, though purchasing from your local electric bike company is highly recommended. That way if you have any problems or need repairs you will have someone close to be of assistance.
