WHY ELECTRIC BIKES BECOME SO POPULAR DURING THE PANDEMIC - PART 2

Perfectly practical

In addition to their affordability, e-bikes are an extremely convenient transportation choice. Introduced as part of current expenditure, they require little maintenance. Are you used to keeping a traditional bicycle in good working order? Then you will be happy to know that maintaining an electric bike is not much different.

Learning to fly one of these marvels of modern technology is a snap! If you've ever been on a regular bike, riding an electric bike will be like second nature. Of course, there are a few new things to master on a pedal assisted bike. However, once you've taken a lesson or two and got the hang of it, you'll be a skilled electric bike rider in no time!

The pandemic has given us enough new challenges. So, a technology that is practical to use and able to keep us mobile is a real plus.



Flexible and urban


Many people are reluctant to use public transportation during the pandemic. Electric bikes are very flexible for urban use. In many metropolitan areas, fewer cars are driven primarily because more of us are staying at home. Even so, cities are busy places. Riding an electric bike can help you navigate the roads with ease.

E-bike cyclists know the joy of taking a less traveled route that may be less accessible when driving a car. It is a great feeling to come home for dinner quickly and easily on your electric bike!

Whether you're heading to work or the grocery store, you don't have to worry about where to park. E-bikes are compact and easy to maneuver - you can find a place for them just about anywhere. Plus, storage is easy with cargo bikes or a foldable electric bike that can be carried in a car or stowed in your home.



Eco-friendly


Let's continue, for a moment, with the thought of fewer cars on the road during the pandemic. It is really very interesting and revealing! Around the world, there are countless reports that pollution levels in major cities have been drastically reduced while populations were in lockdown.

An increasing number of people are encouraged by this result. And, they are looking for ways to live more environmentally friendly for the planet. This is where the electric bike excels. With an increasing number of people choosing e-bikes over automobiles, the Earth's carbon footprint can only continue to shrink.

This ecological alternative excites the populations of the United Kingdom to the United States through the countries of Europe and Asia. The promise of helping the planet become healthier for future generations is another reason the popularity of electric bikes has skyrocketed during the pandemic!
