There are many reasons: Get where you need to go faster and easier than on a regular bike. Depending on how you ride, you can travel without significant effort at up to 32km/h on the throttle and even higher speed with your electric pedal assist. Climbing hills is a breeze... and we aren’t talking about the breeze from huffing and puffing. No sweat. Even though you can ride much faster, you won’t feel like you have to shower once you are there. Safer. That might seem counter-intuitive since you can go faster than on a regular bike, but you also get an easier start from stopped positions, allowing you to get through an intersection steadier and quicker. When climbing steep hills with cars nearby, you can focus more energy on controlling the bike instead of propelling the bike. Easier on those joints. Use the electric assist to ease the pressure on your knees and hips. Staying together. You may have a riding partner who rides at a different pace. An e-bike can even out the pace for both of you. Ditch the car. An electric bike's convenience, ease, and speed make it an alternative to an automobile more often than a regular bike. A study by Portland State University shows that e-bike owners ride more frequently and farther than when they rely on traditional bikes. This was the case for all age groups. It’s FUN!!! Just try one, and you’ll see. Or catch a friend returning from their first test ride with a big smile.
