Why Buy An Electric Bike?

    Why buy an electric bike? Well, electric bicycles offer the same huge benefits as traditional bicycles, including cost savings (no license or insurance required), improved health and connection with the community.

    The real advantage of electric bicycles is that they can climb mountains efficiently, or go farther while resisting wind. For example, if you experience knee pain or exercise-induced asthma, electric bicycles can bring new life into the sport of cycling. They may persuade your friends or other important people to join your trail more often, or they may allow you to commute to work in extreme heat without sweating so much.

    Electric bicycles eliminate many obstacles and challenges that people face when using traditional pedal-powered bicycles, but they are not perfect. They can be expensive, complex, and heavy which is a real pain if the battery runs out half way.

    How does an electric bicycle work?

     

    Simply put, electric bicycles are like traditional bicycles, but equipped with an electric motor that either helps the rider pedals or handles all the throttling duties.

    It consists of rechargeable battery, motor, controller, drivetrain and pedaling sensor. The battery powers the motor, and the motor applies kinetic energy to the transmission system. The drivetrain then applies torque and manual power to the wheels of the bicycle.

    The wheels turn, you go

    According to different designs, electric bicycles may provide you with a variety of riding methods.

    For some people, the popularity of electric bicycles has become a huge threat because no one wants to invest in standard bicycles. But don't worry about electric bicycles, because they are not designed to take away human-powered way of life, but to make it more convenient.

     

    Environmentally friendly

     

    Compared with cars and motorcycles, electric bicycles consume very little energy and do not use oil or natural gas at all. For those who care about their impact on the environment, this makes them an environmentally friendly choice. Electric bicycles help reduce waste, and do not emit carbon and other gases harmful to the environment. So, if you care about your environment, then investing in an electric bicycle is a good choice.

     

    Easy commuting

     

    All wearable devices provide great benefits for passengers, especially in terms of fast commuting. But this is not more important than electric bicycles. The advantage of electric bicycles is that they feel like traditional bicycles-most people can say that they have ridden at least once.

    Riding an electric bicycle can not only help you avoid heavy traffic, but also help you avoid other crowded places. The electric motor makes the riding convenient and not tiring. There is no doubt that when you use electric bicycle, you can quickly get to your work or anywhere. So don't worry, enjoy your journey!

    How Far Can You Go on a Charge?

     

    A good rule of thumb here is to divide watt hours by 20. So electric bike batteries have voltage and amp hours and a typical pack right now is 36 volts of power with 10 amp hours of capacity for 360 watt hours total. If we divide 360 by 20 we get 18 miles. Given variation between throttle only electric bikes and pedal assist that 18 is really a floor that can go up as riders contribute pedal-power to the system or different drive systems are leveraged.

    For example, mid-drive electric bikes can benefit from driving the rear cassette and gears to empower the motor for improved efficiency. In the same way that you would want to shift down when climbing (instead of standing up and working extra hard), so too does the motor and these mid-drive systems offer that flexibility because they pull the bicycle chain along with you. I've seen some electric bikes with that same "360 watt hour" battery capacity reach 50+ miles per charge on a low level of assistance (equivalent to half of the rider's pedal power output). That's pretty amazing to me.
