It is easy to understand the appeal of e-bikes. As a viable transportation alternative to the automobile, they are a convenient, eco-friendly way of getting around while offering significant monetary savings. They are relatively inexpensive, costing anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Riding an e-bike is also fun.
Unlike a traditional bicycle, which relies solely on pedal power, e-bike motors remove traditional "pain points" of cycling, such as distance and inclines.
“Riding an e-bike can be significantly more fun than riding a conventional bicycle with the ability to travel faster and to explore more places,” according to the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care. “The feeling of riding an e-bike can be quite exhilarating. It can turn everyday commutes or going to the store into an adventure. Even a leisurely ride becomes a lot more fun with the feeling of the freedom an e-bike gives you.”
