WHY E-BIKES ARE SO GOOD FOR BOOSTING FITNESS

BUSTING THE MISNOMER THAT E-BIKES ARE "CHEATING"

The comment we hear most when we tell people we sell e-bikes is “But aren’t e-bikes cheating?!” … The answer is categorically NO! E-bikes have a controller, which enables you to choose how much help your bike gives you, this can be turned off, so you can ride your e-bike as a normal bike as much as you want to. Then, when you get tired, you can turn the motor on and keep riding.

This means you can have as much of a workout as you want, but with the additional benefits that you can ride further, tackle more hilly routes, ride with friends who may have been faster than you, and ride more often as it’s more fun! All of which mean you can get more exercise with an e-bike than with a normal bike, we are wondering why you would need a normal bike at all!

In this blog, we explore why e-bikes are so good at helping you get more active, boost your fitness, and enjoy your cycling more.

E-Bikes Help You Ride Further and More Often

Riding an e-bike is fun… We see it every day when customers come, and test ride an e-bike for the first time and return with a huge smile on their face. Having control over what level of assistance you get from an e-bike makes you feel invincible – no hills put you off and longer rides suddenly seem more manageable.

E-bike batteries now offer ranges of up to 100 km, and many models also have the option to get a range extender, which is effectively an additional battery that fits on your e-bike and can double your range. In addition to this, there is a new breed of lightweight e-bikes, which are much easier to ride without power. This all means that range anxiety is a thing of the past, and long rides are very much on the menu!

Riding an e-bike means that if you get tired, you can just ask the bike to give you some help. This gives riders the confidence to get out more often and ride further, which is going to boost fitness and endurance.
