Electric Bicycles:

Electric bicycles have been around for over 100 years! This may be your first time stumbling across an electric bike or you may have heard of them in the past, but make no mistake that despite their long history, they have gained popularity now in recent years, more than ever! undergoing a series of innovative changes electric bicycles have become lighter, faster & safer

its a world wide trend, in 2013 China had an estimated 32 million electric bicycles sold, Europe with approximately 1.4 million units that will be sold by the end of 2014 and the United States saw an approximate 179,000 units sold in 2013, up from 70,000 the previous year.

CNN Money Reports that an approximate 15 million automobiles were sold in 2013, however the NBDA reports that an approximate 16.2 million Bicycles (generalizing, not placed into specific categories of what types of bicycles) were sold in the same year. Americans are purchasing more and more Bicycles, and the percentage of those being Electric are very small, however experts say “ that the United States will be the second largest Electric Bike market over the next 20 years, with over 2 million units sold per year ”

So for the new comers who are asking themselves, “what exactly is an electric bicycle?” An electric bicycle is simply a bicycle integrated with a Battery Operated, Electric Motor that’s located on the Hub of the Wheel. E-bikes come equipped with “pedal assist“, in which case torque is delivered from the motor as you pedal. They may also be equipped with “on demand power” which is activated by a throttle, similar to a motorcycle.

The average Electric Bicycle sold today is equipped with a lighter, safer, higher performance lithium - ion battery pack that can give most riders an average range of 15 -30 miles, & reach speeds of up to 20Mph 🚲 💨

According to the Department Of Transportation, on average, over 22% of Americans travel to a destination that is less than one (1) mile in distance. An approximate 50% of the commuting U.S population, commutes five (5) miles or less to work.

With record high gasoline prices, it's an exciting time to try out an E-bike! With an E-Bike, riders have the benefit of saving money on gasoline, avoid sitting in traffic and it's great for the Environment! Because E-Bikes are battery operated, and use an AC Charger, riders can practically charge their batteries anywhere and the cost of charging is Pennies on the dollar!

But the benefits do not end there, taking into consideration of how important it is for anyone and everyone to get exercise or to be psychically active for good health, cycling is a great activity to achieve this. Whether you are 16 years old or 75 years old, E-Bikes will offer the benefits of regular cycling while assisting those individuals who struggle with joint or muscle pain. You can take on the Roads and Hills with Ease!
