If you’re an avid biker who loves riding electric bikes, then you might know how convenient they are. They help reduce the stress of long-distance travel and allow you to enjoy the scenery as you ride your way to work each day.
But what if I told you that a commuter electric bike could be even more convenient than just commuting? With some simple tips and tricks, I’ll show you how to turn your daily commute into a fun and exciting experience!
A look at the benefits of commuting on an electric bike
The benefits of commuting on an electric bike are numerous. You can save money and time, improve your health and get in shape, and even make a statement about the importance of sustainability.
Here are some more deeply explored reasons why you should consider commuting on an electric bike:
- Save money: The average round-trip commute in America is 13 miles long and takes around 30 minutes to complete. That’s 52 miles per week at 4 mph (assuming you’re able to make all stops). If you use gas at $3 per gallon, that’s $624 annually!
- Improve your health: If you commute by bike regularly, you’re going to get in shape! Cycling is a great way to lose weight and stay healthy—it’s even been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Plus, cycling releases endorphins that can help reduce stress levels.
Electric bikes are also great for commuters who live in hilly areas. If you have to climb a steep hill every day, it can be extremely difficult to get up and down! But with an electric bike’s motor assisting your pedaling, the hill will seem much easier to conquer.
Electric bikes are cheaper than cars and motorcycles.
One of the best reasons to switch to an electric bike is the cost. Electric bikes are cheaper than cars and motorcycles, making them a great alternative for people who can’t afford or don’t want to pay the high costs of ownership.
Electric bikes are available in many different styles and prices, starting at around $300. That’s about half the price of a motorcycle! With an electric bike, you’ll also save money on gas, maintenance, parking fees, and insurance premiums. This makes commuting on an electric bike much more affordable than driving or riding public transit every day.
You can get exercise in tandem with power.
The first thing you’ll notice about an electric bike is that it’s not like a traditional bicycle at all. For example, you don’t have to pump your own power into the pedals, so there’s no need for constant rotation of your legs.
That said, if you want to go faster and farther, you should use both pedals at once. This is because the more power goes into each pedal stroke, the faster your bike will move forward and upward (or downward).
If this seems like too much work on top of pedaling up hills or over long distances—or even just getting around town—you can choose “pedal assist mode” and just let the bike do most of the work for you!
They’re safer than traditional vehicles.
Electric bikes are mainly safer than traditional vehicles because they are much lighter and easier to maneuver. As a result, you don’t have to worry about getting hit by a car or motorcycle when you are on an electric bike.
The chances of getting injured in a crash with another vehicle are also greatly reduced because your vehicle has less mass and will be able to absorb the impact of any collision better than a heavier car or motorcycle would. Because there is less mass (i.e., you), it’s unlikely that you’ll get hurt if you’re involved in any kind of collision with another vehicle!
In addition, electric bikes do not require helmets like motorcycles do, which makes them even safer than they already were!
Conclusion
Now that you know some of the benefits of commuting on an electric bike, we hope you will consider making this change in your daily routine. It’s time to start saving money and time while also exercising along the way!
