Why Buy an Electric Bike?
Are E-Bikes Really Just for Lazy People?
Not at all.
A recent German study found that electric bikes are ridden up to eight times more often than traditional bicycles. Curious why, Bike Attack Electric surveyed riders right here in Santa Monica—and the results were clear: e-bikes make cycling more enjoyable, practical, and sustainable than ever before.
1. Electric Bikes Are Simply More Fun
Electric bikes let you ride farther, faster, and with less effort. Hills, headwinds, and fatigue disappear. The best part of cycling has always been the downhill—on an e-bike, that great feeling never ends, even when climbing.
2. Sweat Less, Arrive Fresh
Commute to work without arriving exhausted or sweaty. No need for spare clothes or recovery time—just step into your day feeling energized and focused.
3. Beat LA Traffic
Los Angeles rush hour can be brutal. On an electric bike, you glide past traffic instead of sitting in it. Fewer delays, more smiles.
4. Reduce Stress, Boost Your Mood
E-bike commuting is dramatically less stressful than driving. Daily riding boosts energy, improves productivity, and is scientifically proven to help reduce stress, anxiety, and illness.
5. Stay Healthy, Fit, and Look Younger
You control the workout. Use higher pedal assist for an easy ride or pedal harder for more exercise—it’s your choice. Fresh air, movement, and sunlight benefit your body, skin, and overall well-being.
6. Help Reduce Smog and Emissions
Electric bikes significantly reduce your carbon footprint. By replacing car trips with e-bike rides, you actively help improve air quality and reduce urban pollution.
7. Get (and Stay) in Shape
Trying to lose weight? E-bikes make fitness accessible. Adjustable assist levels allow you to burn as many calories as you want—consistently and sustainably.
8. Save Serious Money
Cut fuel costs, parking fees, and car insurance expenses. Charging an e-bike costs pennies, and maintenance is minimal.
9. Save Time on Daily Errands
Groceries, gym, restaurants, farmers markets—handle it all by e-bike. In most urban settings, it’s faster and more efficient than driving.
10. Forget About Parking
No more circling the block. Park right at the door of your office, café, gym, or favorite restaurant.
11. Go Farther on Weekend Adventures
Longer rides become effortless. Use more assist on the way home and enjoy extended coastal routes without worrying about fatigue.
12. Ride Happily Together
Different fitness levels? No problem. Electric bikes allow couples and friends to ride together comfortably. From Santa Monica to Manhattan Beach and back, everyone keeps pace—and enjoys the ride.
