Good for you. Even better for the planet.
It'll come as no surprise that when compared to other commuting methods, the electric bike is the
cleanest and least harmful to the environment. It's hard to believe, but your e-bike motor's
power could be more eco-friendly than you! When comparing the relative emissions of an electric
motor versus a person consuming a modern western diet - including all the transport, farming and
packaging of that food - the effect on the environment is worse than clean electricity. Consider
yourself shocked!
Enjoy a healthier lifestyle
Don't throw away all your beloved foods just yet though, as despite the hype of 'cheating'
circulating around 'real' cyclists, you're still going to get a solid workout on your e-bike, as
the assistance is just that - assistance. No pedal, no juice. Using an electric bike results in
just a 20% drop in calorie consumption, so you'll still burn around 400-450 calories every hour
you ride, and as studies show, you'll ride more often on an e-bike. Are you thinking what we're
thinking? Yes - you can have your cake and eat it!
Ride more, do more, sweat less
Studies have shown that riding an e-bike makes you fitter than a standard bike. Odd, we know, but
the truth is that if your cycling is easier and doesn't work up a sweat, yet still gets you
around at a steady pace, you're more likely to ride everywhere.
The power assistance of an e-bike isn't just for speed. If you're lugging a heavy load of
shopping, the motor will be your new best friend. Most importantly, with an electric bike you'll
work at a more constant level, so there are no more sweat-fuelled power sessions every time
there is an incline.
