Bicycles have been common modes of transportation for many individuals who have short distance trips which no longer require the use of cars. From the simple bikes and mountain bikes we know, technology has taken huge strides forward with regards to bicycle making in just the last few years and the electric bike or ebike has been introduced. This new type of bicycle is increasingly becoming a practical, reliable and fun transportation alternative.
Electric bicycles or ebikes uses an electric motor to power the vehicle. It is many ways same as the traditional pedal driven bicycle except that ebikes are powered by an electric power system which the user can opt to use whenever needed. Extra boost offered by the motor power of ebikes is available and can be used anytime especially when riding in steeper locations such as mountains and forests. Safety key features are also added in ebikes for maximum protection from thieves and accidents. Moreover, ebikes can travel up to 20 miles per hour and uses not gasoline but rechargeable batteries.
Just like the typical non-powered bikes we know, ebikes also come in wide array of shapes, sizes, and styles. Street bikes, mountain bikes and all kinds of frames all fitted out for extended range and are powered with the electronic motor system of the ebike. Different models of ebike are available in the market which comes with various functions depending on depending on the needs of the buyer. Electric bikes are available in both front-wheel-drive (FWD) and rear-wheel-drive (RWD) configurations. RWD bikes tend to be easier and safer, to ride as most of your body weight is carried on top of the drive wheel. Though, the RWD motor location limits the number and style of gearing the bike can use. With FWD bikes, the motor can cause the front tire to skid in slick conditions causing difficulty with steering. To make the bike safe to ride, a controller is also installed to act as the brain of the bike, and to control the acceleration of the motor. Being battery operated, ebikes are ecologically friendly and affordable. Their price may weary from US$500 to US$3,500.
Many advantages can be associated with the use of ebikes. The experience of riding a bicycle without the sweat as one can easily turn on the automatic power of the machine is one of the more obvious benefits of ebike riding. Local errands like visiting a corner store of dropping mail at the post office can also be easily accomplished through the use of ebike instead of using the more expensive 6000 pound Expedition which can take you to your destination at the same amount of time. Moreover, ebikes are easier to maneuver especially in morning and afternoon traffics making them great modes of transportation when going to work. Not only are you going to reach the office faster but you will also have your daily exercise. With the continuous increase of gasoline and the apparent problem in global warming, the use of eco friendly ebikes is very important.
Making fundamental changes is necessary with the ever changing and worsening environment concerns we currently are experiencing. Using ebikes is a great way to start this change.
