How E-bikes are Changing the Biking Industry

0

Common misconceptions have led many to think that electric bikes are somewhat downgraded versions of motorcycles.  In a growing industry that is revolutionizing the sport of cycling, this is simply not the case.  Now anyone who wishes to explore the great outdoors on two wheels, regardless of skill level or expertise, can take part in an exhilarating experience that goes beyond traditional mountain biking 

Despite the name, electric mountain bikes are much more versatile than one might think.  Already a widespread phenomenon through Europe, the craze of ‘battery-powered trail machines’ is also catching on in the U.S.  Not only are there models perfect for hitting the trails, but there are also options which provide a great alternative for your daily work commute.  Whether you live in a big city and wish to bypass morning traffic, or you travel on back roads with enjoyable scenic views, an e-bike can satisfy all your needs.

E-bike Benefits

At first glance, the price tag may seem a bit steep in comparison to your traditional mountain bike. When looking at the cost savings that an e-bike provides however, the return on your investment is undeniable. For many city-dwellers, an e-bike or e-MTB could completely replace a car or motorcycle and still get you from point A to point B quicker than a normal bike would, with the added benefit of an effortless ride. Factor that in with the time and money you will save on your search for parking and gas and cost savings are quickly realized over a short time period.

Apart from the obvious cost-savings of these environmentally friendly and easy to park vehicles, some other benefits include the safety in comparison to conventional motorcyclists. Because these bikes are better suited for roads and trails rather than highways, they are the logical choice to meet all your needs simultaneously. An E-bike review, can be found here

E-bike Exploration

One of the most significant ways in which e-biking is grabbing cycling consumers attention is the advantageous nature of this technology.  Recreationally, you have the option to challenge yourself and explore new trails while utilizing the motor assistance and getting an extra boost from the torque. E-MTB’s also give riders the advantage of sticking close by in a group since less skilled cyclists will be able to maintain pace and degree of difficulty compared to more experienced riders.

In light of this up-and-coming trend, advocacy groups such as the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) have voiced concerns over safety in regard to sharing the trails with traditional cyclists. Remember to keep this in mind before you explore a new trail and be proactive in checking for restrictions prior to your expedition. For your personal daily use, e-bikes open a whole world of possibility into the places you can go with the speed and ease of use this technology provides. Not to mention, you can feel good about upgrading your ride without any negative consequences to the environment. Before you consider your next vehicle purchase, consider the cost-effectiveness and convenience that an e-bike provides.
