Electric Helper Motors for Bikes

"It's a Revolution In Bicycle Riding -
Electric Helper Motors for Bikes..."

Electric helper motors for bikes  - By 1900, bicycles had been around a long time. They were not a newfangled idea when the Wright brothers began to work on them.

But Orville and Wilbur weren't satisfied with some of the performance aspects of bicycles of their time.

One problem riders had was that one pedal kept dropping off the bike because both pedals had standard right hand threads. So as a rider pedaled, one pedal got tightened and the other was loosened. A pesky problem, for sure. So they innovated.

They used right hand threads on one post, and left hand threads on the other. Both pedals got tightened.

Problem solved. Nowadays, cyclists have different sorts of problems. And that's where electric helper motors for bikes come in.

Thousands of people use bikes as transportation every day. They go to work. Run errands.

They've cut down on or eliminated the use of their cars for lots of different reasons.

Many are concerned about the environmental impact of auto emissions. Some want the convenience of never having to look for a parking spot.

All of them look forward to the savings-no filling a gas tank, no insurance payments, no costly maintenance. Thousands of others would like to join their ranks, but hesitate to do so.

Some would-be bicycle commuters worry about the length of their commute.

Others may think the terrain would be too challenging. Lots of people think their lack of fitness means it's impossible to even get started. But the bicycle electric motor is just the solution for all these concerns.

On average, an electric motor enables a rider to go about 20 miles at speeds up to 20 miles per hour.

Motors come in two types: pedal activated (or pedalecs, as they're called) and power on demand. Pedal activated is just what it sounds like.

You have to be pedaling for the bike to go. The power assist allows cyclists to go about 50% farther with the same amount of effort. The other motor is called power on demand. You may also see it called throttle activated or gear activated.

These motors will do all the work for you. A button or switch is used to turn the power on. So the bike becomes a scooter, for all practical purposes. It's the rider's choice how much pedal power to use.

Both electric helper motors will accomplish the same thing, though, in terms of addressing the concerns of all types of cyclists.

For those long commutes, the extra boost is always there when you need it. Facing a big hill? Extra power helps get you to the top. And if a lot of TV watching and beer drinking have happened since you last exercised, you can start to get back in shape without crippling yourself first time out.

If you already have a bike you love, you don't need to ditch it for a whole new electric assisted bike. You can buy a conversion kit.  These kits can be added to pretty much any style of bike.

The end result is an electric hybrid. If you're reasonably handy, these kits usually take less than an hour to install. They range in price from about $350 to about $1000.

Electric helper motors for bikes are changing the way people commute, helping them get healthier, and saving them money. Orville and Wilbur would approve.
