What Are The Advantages Of An e-Bike?

Bikes are a great way to commute to work, explore your city or countryside, and as a bonus, you get exercise and the joy of being outside. If you’re thinking about buying a new bike, you might be wondering what are the main differences between an electric bike (e-bike) and an old-fashioned model?  Throughout this article, we’ll share what makes an e-bike unique, and show the advantages of investing in one.

What is an e-bike?

According to Merriam-Webster, an e-bike is: “A bicycle equipped with an electric motor that may be activated in order to assist with or replace pedaling.”

Essentially, it will help make your ride easier. Rather than struggling to make it up the hill or even finish your ride, you can activate the electric motor, and it will help to ease the burden.

Myths about e-bikes

Before you jump to a conclusion and say that e-bikes cause people to be lazy, that’s not the case. Often it comes down to the purpose and reason for the ride.

There has been an increase in people using electric bicycles to get to and from work, instead of using other transportation, like a car or a bus. This significantly reduces carbon emissions, which can help improve the environment.

It also allows someone who is older, and can’t comfortably use a traditional bike anymore, to get outside, with the help of the e-bike’s motor. 

Features of an e-bike

Not all electric bikes are the same, especially when it comes to Pedego.

Pedego e-bikes allow you to enjoy the benefits of being outside without getting overly tired. With a powerful battery, a pedal-assist system, throttle, and the ability to ride with no assistance, you’re able to find the speed that works best for you.

Depending on the model, if you choose to ride your e-bike in manual mode, you’ll have seven or ten gears at your disposal, giving you the best of both worlds.

Here are a couple of highlights from our wide selection of 18 distinct models. 

Comfort Cruiser

Our comfort cruiser is renowned as the original Pedego e-bike. For the last ten years, it has made people smile since it was expressly created with users in mind–to make the riding experience much more enjoyable. 

Boomerang-Low Step

The Pedego Boomerang is known as one of the most accessible e-bikes ever. The ultra-low, step-thru frame makes it simpler for a wide variety of people to ride with ease. 

Trail Tracker

Don’t let the winter stop you from hitting the trails. Our Trail Tracker is the monster truck of electric bikes. It can go places and do things that no other bike can. The Trail Tracker’s  4″ wide tires empower you to float over even the most treacherous terrain, including sand, mud, and even snow!

Don’t settle for less!

Most manual bikes, unless they are customized, don’t feel right. You have to make tweaks until your bike is exactly how you want it to be. Even though each e-bike is different, there is one similar feature between them all that’s similar, and it’s giving the rider the best possible experience.
