Electric Bikes: The Perfect Commuting Solution for a Stress-Free Day

Electric bikes are becoming increasingly popular as a mode of transportation and for good reason. With the ability to provide assistance to the rider, they make cycling more accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. Not only that, but ebikes can also save you time and money, and reduce your carbon footprint versus when commuting with a car. So whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or new to commuting on two wheels, read on to discover why you should consider making the switch to an electric bike and what benefits commuting with an ebike brings you.

8 Reasons Why Commuting With An Electric Bike Benefits You

Riding an ebike for your daily commute offers a multitude of benefits. The following is just a glimpse of the many benefits that ebiking can offer, and the list goes on!

• Saving time: With an electric bike, you can avoid traffic jams and the hassle of finding a parking spot. Pedego’s electric bike batteries come in 36V, 48V, and 52V options, so you can go further and faster without breaking a sweat. And with the ability to reach speeds of up to 28 mph, you’ll be at your destination in no time. Plus, your Pedego bike is built to last, so you can leave your worries about wear and tear behind.
  
• Easier to go up hills: The motor provides assistance, and the amount depends on the support level chosen, so riders will be fresher and less likely to stop to recoup after cresting a climb.
  
• Good for the environment: Opting for an ebike instead of a car reduces carbon footprint and noise pollution. Transportation is the second biggest source of greenhouse gases, and shifting from car to bike for short trips can reduce carbon footprint by 5%. Electric bikes move almost silently, which helps to quieten down inner city areas.
  
• Less sweat and muscle strain: The motor helps reduce the effort level, particularly on hills and accelerations, which means less strain on muscles and joints. Plus, it’s helpful for beginners getting into cycling who may not have developed the necessary muscles and skills to move fluently on a bike. And the best part is you can arrive at your destination without breaking a sweat.
  
• Improving Fitness: Research suggests that regular aerobic exercise, including biking, decreases the risk of developing severe heart disease and vascular disease. It also improves overall cardiac function, so your heart works more efficiently.

• Better mental health: Cycling is a great way to improve mental health and well-being. It offers several benefits, including reduced anxiety and stress, and greater happiness. Commuting with an electric bike provides a convenient way to start your day at work with a fresh mind and wind down after a long day at work. Additionally, cycling produces endorphins that provide a number of benefits such as reducing stress, enhancing your immune system, increasing pain tolerance, and slowing the impacts of aging. Using your own transportation instead of relying on public transportation puts you in control of your schedule and minimizes stress. With an ebike, you can leave the office early or stay late to complete tasks without worrying about coordinating with the next bus schedule. Incorporating cycling into your daily routine can lead to a happier, healthier, and less stressful life.
  
• Charging your electrc bike is a breeze: Unlike refueling a gas-guzzling car, all you need to do is plug your bike’s battery into a power outlet and let it charge. Plus, the more you pedal, the farther you can go, which means you’ll conserve battery life and get the most out of each charge. However, keep in mind that while pedaling can help you go further, it won’t actually charge the battery.
  
• It’s safe: When it comes to commuting with an electric bike, safety is a top priority. Ebikes are equipped with an electric motor that can reach speeds of up to 28 miles per hour, depending on the class of ebike. Riders can easily adjust the level of pedal assist to control how much help they get from the motor, and Pedego Electric Bikes also come with built-in throttle assist, which allows the motor to move the bike forward without pedaling. This feature is especially useful when commuting in traffic, as it allows for seamless integration into traffic flow and keeps riders safe by allowing them to keep pace more easily alongside cars. Plus, the ebike motor provides quick acceleration, which is helpful for getting started at traffic lights. Of course, wearing a well-fitting helmet is essential for maximum safety, such as the built in lights and reflectors increase visibility and keep you safe while commuting at night.
