In recent years, electric bicycles are gaining more and more popularity compared to the traditional bicycle.
Why choose an electric bicycle.
You've been riding your 'normal' bike for as long as you can remember and wonder why everyone is so wildly enthusedis excited about those electric bikes. Why should you choose an electric bicycle.
An electric bicycle is ideal for commuting, doing your daily shopping, just taking long pleasure rides and going to school. That is why bicycles are becoming more and more popular. Especially if you travel longer distances, it is a good alternative to the car or public transport.
An eBike can also be very valuable if you have difficulty walking. An electric bicycle expands your world, you can cover a greater distance. You can cycle without much effort. This is perfect if your condition is not so good and you still like to go on beautiful bike rides.
[Sporting] cycling on an e-bike is often seen as cheating. You have to make less effort to get from A to B. Still, you cannot say that electric bicycles are not good for your fitness. An electric bicycle may seem like a 'lazy' option, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Research shows that European e-bike users get more exercise per week than those who cycle on a regular bicycle. The eBike lowers the threshold for many people to take the bicycle instead of the car. The research results show that people with an electric bicycle often travel longer distances and also take the bicycle more often.
The e-bike can be a good replacement for your car for a ride to work or to family, for example. Besides the fact that this may save money in the long term, it also has a more direct effect: it saves harmful CO2 emissions that you blow into the air with a car trip.
