There is an increasing number of bike lanes being added on major highways as the cyclist community continues to grow. Therefore, this is the right time for you to invest in a bicycle. But don’t just stick with an old bike – why not buy a pedelec or pedal assist e-bike. This holy hybrid has both the workings of a traditional bicycle and the comfort of a car.
Electric bicycles allow you to travel longer distances than you would with a traditional bicycle. The modern Pedelec combines technically advanced functionality with sophisticated design and style.
The motor in the pedelec pedal assist system is activated as soon as you start pedaling, giving you an added boost while riding. The electricity used to start the motor is stored in a rechargeable battery. In other words, the energy generated from your pedaling drives the pedelec’s motor and rear wheel.
So, what’s so great about a pedelec?
Avoid the hassle of public transportation
With a pedelec, you can easily avoid the annoying business of having to endure sweaty bodies crammed into a subway train. You don’t have to worry about being late for a job presentation due to the strike of all city bus drivers or running to catch a train only to find out that your transit card has run out.
That e-bike pedals lets you take control of your trip. You can enjoy the open road and fresh air without surprising hassles, and you also don’t have to deal with exposure to suspiciously stained chairs and high levels of body odor.
Dash from door to door
You can easily cut down on travel time by not having to account for traffic jams and train delays, thanks to the easy and breezy pedelec ride. That means more time to drink coffee or take a Pilates class before heading to work. The Pedelec easily outperforms a regular bicycle, getting you to work in less time.
No sweat
When using the motor assist, you use less energy on the pedelec than you would on a normal bicycle. Therefore long distances and steep hills are easier to manage and you don’t sweat as much as you would on a normal bike because there is less strain. This is especially important when using a pedelec to get to work in the morning; You don’t want to arrive at work sweating.
Exercise and convenience
The Pedelec is a two-wheeled innovation; Not only do you enjoy the convenience of getting around without a car (and the fees that come with it), you also get plenty of practice pedaling. You can ride a bicycle for long distances with minimal effort. An hour of moderate cycling on a pedelec will burn around 300 to 350 calories.
The above list may not be exhaustive but enumerates some of the many benefits of riding a pedelec electric bicycle over traveling by car or using a regular bicycle.
