Why do people choose to ride an electric bike?

  Because they:

• Enjoy the feeling of riding a bicycle - except for hills, starts, and headwinds;
• Prefer their local errands to be easy, hassle free and low cost
• Like to save money and protect the environment by significantly reducing thier carbon footprint
• Look for extra chances to exercise - even if it's just a little. In fact riding an e-bike can increase your fitness. You want to use it. You can ride to work without lycra. You still have to exercise
• Still need convenient, point-to-point transportation using safe traffic free bike lanes we have all paid for but rarely use!
• Want their own traffic "lane", convenient parking spots and shortcuts. No traffic congestion
• Considered a gas-powered moped or small motorcycle, but dislike the noise, smell, saftey issues, starting problems and special laws
• Riding an electric bike doesn't mean you're lazy. You are a smart educated consumer saving carbon emmissions and having fun doing it
• According to an Australian study conducted by the Institute of Transport Studies at Monash University, the assistance provided by riding an electric bicycle helps to maintain the rider’s heart rate in the optimal aerobic zone. See our article on E-Bikes today for more detail.
• Because you can be assisted when going uphill, you do not need to spend excessive energy, you feel less tired and your body continues to operate in your optimum aerobic zone.
• Enjoy your ride and use the assist when you feel like it. They are not motor bike they require input from rider and motor to opperate effectively.
• With a conventional bicycle, many people exceed their aerobic zone when riding uphill then feel completely drained and are unable to enjoy the ride.
• Can ride work in a suite or work clothes.
