Cycle more often
Research has shown that cycling at a steady pace without exhausting yourself means you're more likely to cycle everywhere. This helps explain why e-bikes are great for commuting: because they make cycling a little easier, you won't feel as tired after your commute. And so you are more likely to cycle to work the following day, and the day after.
Don't sweat it
One of the main reasons more people don't cycle to work is that they don't want to arrive at the office feeling sweaty and flustered.
But that's where e-bikes are ideal for commuters. The electric assistance makes cycling feel easier and less sweaty. This means you can cycle to work in your suit and arrive without needing to change or have a shower.
Make light work of distance
More of us live further from work than before. ONS research found that in 2011 the average commuting distance from home to work was 9.32 miles (15km), an increase of more than a mile since 2001.
This is a long distance to cycle every day on a normal bike, but the pedal assistance of an e-bike makes it more viable for riders of all levels.
Cut commuting stress
Anyone who has ever commuted with a car knows how stressful it can be — roadworks, traffic jams and other drivers all add to the frustration. And public transport can be just as bad, with delays, overcrowding and lengthy replacement services.
Commuting to work on an electric commuter bike is a completely different experience in comparison. You'll be gently pedalling along, exercising, spending time outside and enjoying the fresh air. It all helps to cut your stress levels and allow you to arrive at work happy.
