Why eBikes Are The Future?
8th Feb 2024
Electric bicycles are riding a wave of popularity thanks to how simple they make sustainable travel and green commuting for anyone who can ride a bike. If you’ve never ridden an eBike or you’re still in two minds about just how good these incredible two wheeled offerings are, strap yourself in for a trip through the options.
Finding the ideal eBike for your needs is easy once you know what to look for.
The future of sustainable transportation is already here
The last thing we all need is to be part of the growing traffic problems today. Rather than adding to the congestion on the roads, you can reduce your carbon footprint, avoid those traffic jams and all while building up your fitness.
It’s no wonder electric bicycles are all the rage when they’re the perfect mix of practical and stylish travel. Any everyday person can now ride as if they were a fully trained cyclist. Despite what some people think, riding an eBike isn’t cheating. It's the perfect way to enjoy the outdoors, stay active, get regular exercise and before you know it, you’ll be ready to tackle hills and longer trips.
The bonus is that regular exercise can be addictive in the most positive way. You could be feeling and looking fitter than ever before without even realising. If you commute on a daily basis, this is your chance to take a healthier path and get where you want to go faster than a car stuck in
traffic. With more cycle paths and signs popping up, more people are hopping on the eBike bandwagon and riding high on inspiration while doing their part for the environment.
Better for you and the environment
An eBike is one of the most eco-friendly choices of travel. Not only is it a more sustainable transportation choice than driving a car, it is even better for the environment than travelling in an electric car. That’s even a surprise to many ‘eco-conscious’ people.
Every eBike trip that replaces a journey in a petrol-driven car dramatically reduces emissions, and taking an eBike trip instead of an electric car trip dramatically reduces lithium, cobalt and graphite usage.
There is a long list of benefits to the environment that make choosing an eBike a no-brainer.
The positives include:
- Free from pollution - an eBike causes no air pollution, and thanks to the latest ‘whisper quiet’ motor advances, there’s no noise pollution either.
- No harmful emissions - it’s goodbye to fossil fuels like petrol or gas when you ride an eBike. And yes! It’s even better than driving an electric car too!
- Less impact - riding does more than beat the traffic. You won’t be adding to the damage to roads and the pollution involved in having to fix them.
- Reducing waste - eBike batteries last longer than lead batteries and weigh less too. Your eBike battery can be recycled instead of heading into landfill.
As a sustainable travel option, the advantages of electric bicycles are getting more mileage and becoming the top choice for the environmentally-conscious.
It’s never been easier to be a part of the green commuting revolution and bring a world of positive impacts on the environment and your own physical and mental health.
The advances in eBike technology
You may remember the very first eBikes on the market. They were chunky, heavy, often noisy and were anything but good looking. Thankfully, the advances in both the design and technology of electric bicycles have gone from strength to strength. You can now enjoy an eBike that gets you from A to B quickly, quietly, powerfully and in style. The levels of comfort and ease of use have increased dramatically.
The advances in battery technology for eBikes has seen a continual increase in energy capability. This means your eBike can go further with a single charge. It’s all made possible by the lightweight, high energy density, and long cycle life lithium-ion batteries.
Charging the battery has become easier and more efficient. Many secondary batteries, like nickel-metal hydride and nickel-cadmium batteries, are seen as fast-charging wonders. The issue was working out when charging was complete.
That’s now a problem of the past, thanks to the quick and reliable charging of the latest lithium-ion batteries. There are financial advantages too. These batteries have a lifespan of up to 20 years or 15,000 charges, and with the reduced operational costs due to shorter charging times mean substantial savings.
Then there’s the innovations in motor design. Electric bicycles now deliver long-term performance and need less maintenance thanks to simpler mechanics and lightweight construction.
Every year, eBike motors are becoming faster, lighter and quieter. This all means a smoother ride over longer distances and the promise of a longer life for your eBike. That adds up to better performance and better savings.
