Why Electric Bike

Why Electric Bike

Perhaps you can’t afford a Tesla, but you’d still like to avoid high gas prices and polluting the atmosphere. Then you should consider another kind of electric vehicle that’s been gaining momentum worldwide: the e-bike (short for electric bicycle) is essentially a standard bicycle fitted with an ingeniously integrated propulsion system consisting of a mini electric motor powered by a rechargeable battery.

The majority of e-bikes are pedal-assist models — meaning that the motor helps the rider pedal depending on the level of assistance desired. Simply tap the handlebar-mounted throttle button and a tiny computer signals the motor to provide varying amounts of pedal power.Most e-bikes can achieve speeds of up to 25-45km per hour and, depending on the weight of the cyclist and the terrain, can travel from 50 to 120km on a single charge. Batteries can be removed easily,plugged into a regular home outlet and charged in about three hours.

Pedal-assist bikes are available in a variety of categories to appeal to every type of rider — from casual cyclists and campground cruisers to mountain bikers and serious commuters.It's ideal for urban riding, commuting, short trip, shopping, and daily use. And also there are some typically benefits when you buy an ebike:

1. no driver's license is required

2. no written test is required

3. no vehicle registration or plate is required

4. no motor vehicle liability insurance is required
