Why Get an Electric Bike?

14th Jul 2017

When making a decision to get a bike, you assess what you want in a bike, also what you need.

What do you want this bike to do for you? Is it something for fun, exercise, or a means of transportation? Yes absolutely a bike can fulfill all three of these, but every category of bike has an extent to which it can fulfill.

Electric bikes get top marks in all categories with the added benefit of more distance coverable in a shorter amount of time. So should YOU get an electric bike? Let's see!

-You can commute to work without arriving a completely exhausted, sweaty mess. Especially if you're having to commute through long distances or having to conquer hills on your daily ride.

-If you have pain in your legs or feet, cycling is still possible with e-bikes. Many cyclists who have joint pain in their hips and knees find that electric bikes are a great way to cycle without over extending yourself. Definitely talk to your doctor before exerting yourself on any bicycle if you have any questions.

-Pull more weight! You can pull more cargo with an ebike, definitely helps if you've got a load to pull that would otherwise tire you out, some ebikes can maintain 15mph while pulling 400lbs!
