Why to choose a electric bike for adults?

In the modern world where people are gradually pursuing the environment, economy and health, people often use different commuting/transportation methods to adapt to their own needs and the environment. Many travel tools are also frequently updated. Why do people like to use Electric Bikes for travel? Why do adults like to choose Folding Electric Bikes for daily commuting?

 

Advantages of using Electric Bike as a commuting tool

Environmental Benefits

1. Reducing carbon emissions.
  • As we all know, the power source of cars is gasoline. The production and mining and recycling of gasoline requires a long period of time. Gasoline must go through a series of processes such as mining and processing before it can finally be used by people.
  • The power source of electric bicycles is electricity, which is much simpler to generate than gasoline. Considering the exhaust emissions, electricity will not cause much harm to the environment in the future. However, if gasoline is used, the exhaust gas emitted will be harmful to the environment.
  • Compared with cars, electric bicycles have a power source that is less harmful to the environment than cars, as evidenced by lower greenhouse gas emissions.


2. Improve air quality.

  • Cars emit exhaust gas when they are driving. Car exhaust contains 150 to 200 different compounds. The most harmful to humans are carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, lead compounds and particulate matter.
  • Electric Bicycles do not have the problem of exhaust emissions, do not pollute the air, and reduce exhaust emissions. Electric Bicycle travel helps improve urban air quality.

Economic Benefits

1.Low acquisition and maintenance costs

  • Taking the United States as an example, the purchase cost of a car is $46,329, and the amount of car insurance is about $2,545 per year.
  • The average price of an Electric Bicycle is $2000. It does not require much maintenance and the replacement of parts is not expensive, with an average price of around $100.


2. Save fuel costs

  • In terms of daily fuel resources, the price of gasoline has continued to soar, causing a sharp increase in daily use costs. In daily use, electric bicycles only require low-cost electricity, consume little, and energy is easier to obtain.

 

Transportation convenience


1. Avoid traffic jams

  • Although there are designated lanes, due to the high rate of car ownership, there are usually congested roads. In congested areas, cars are not as flexible as ebikes.
  • Electric bicycles can be ridden freely in the city and can travel freely on roads that are congested by cars.


2. Solving parking problems.

  • Since cars require a large parking area, many roads do not have enough parking spaces for cars, so parking often becomes a problem.
  • Although the facilities for electric bicycles may not be so complete now, we can already see some public facilities related to electric bicycles in some places, such as roadside parking spaces and shared charging piles for electric bicycles.

 

Health and Fitness

1. Moderate exercise

  • When driving a car, you are indoors for a long time, and because you are indoors, you cannot sweat and release heat like riding, so you cannot do certain exercises when driving a car.
  • When driving an electric bicycle, you need to mobilize the strength of your legs and hips, which can be used for certain exercise consumption. Although electric bicycles provide electric assistance, riders generally use their own strength as the main power of the electric bicycle, so there will be certain consumption.

 

2. Promote physical and mental health

  • After a day of work/study, people usually feel bored/tired due to long-term physical/mental labor. At this time, they usually need a certain amount of rest/leisure time to release/relieve stress. Riding an electric bicycle can alleviate these situations and improve mental health.

 

Technology and Comfort

1. Advanced Technology

  • Cars may look advanced, and indeed they are irreplaceable in the industry, with their ability to travel long distances and increasingly sophisticated functions.
  • However, electric bicycles have undeniable convenience in short distances and rugged terrain, and with the development of batteries and control systems, electric bicycles can also travel long distances. With the continuous development of motors and batteries, the distance that can be ridden is getting longer and longer.

2. Improve Riding Comfort

  • In terms of comfort, the comfort of the car is unquestionable. The leather seat backs and built-in air conditioning make the comfort of the car much better than that of the electric bicycle.
  • Although the riding comfort of cars is much better than that of electric bicycles, electric bicycles have unique advantages in starting and climbing because cars require greater traction.

 

Social and cultural trends

1. Supporting sustainable lifestyles

  • Compared with cars, electric bicycles are more in line with the needs of green travel and environmentally friendly travel. Now people will consider whether it is environmentally friendly and sustainable more than simply buying a car. Compared with buying a car with a loan, many people will choose to buy an electric bicycle in full.

2. Improve social image

  • Riding an electric mountain bike can demonstrate one’s concern for the environment and health, and reflects one’s personal values ​​that are consistent with social values.

 

Legal and policy support

1. Government incentives

  • In order to promote green travel and the use of electric bicycles, the government has introduced different subsidies in different regions. For example, California has the California Electric Bicycle Subsidy Program, Australia has the Victoria Electric Bicycle Subsidy, and Canada has the Vancouver Electric Bicycle Subsidy.

2. Dedicated infrastructure

  • In order to promote green travel, many places are equipped with ebike-related infrastructure, and many places have dedicated bicycle lanes and shared charging stations to further promote electric bicycle travel and provide support and convenience for electric bicycles.

Conclusion

In modern society, electric bicycles have gradually entered the public eye with their advantages of low purchase cost and low maintenance cost. With the continuous advancement and development of science and technology, people have gradually begun to pay attention to environmental protection and economic development, and many people tend to use sustainable means of transportation.
