The Top Five Reasons
For Riding an Electric Bicycle...

5. You'll save so much money.

Think electric bicycle - Think about what you spend for gas. Now add parking. And tolls. Don't forget insurance. And the license. Then there's maintenance. When you put it all together, it turns out that the average American household spends more on the car than health care, food, clothing, and education. Combined.

There has to be something wrong with that picture.

An electric bike can take the place of a second car. Running errands is a breeze on an e bike. A quick trip to the post office or bank is a snap.

A battery recharge costs under five cents in most places. Just this reason alone is enough to think about an electric bike motor!

4. You'll get some exercise.
Bill Nye, the well known science guy, once commented on how weird it is for Americans to drive to the gym to work out.

According to the National Health Survey of 2003, 59% of adults do not engage in a physical leisure-time activity. And the American heart Association says over 135 million American adults are overweight.

Seems like there must be a connection.

Riding an electric assisted bike is a wonderful way to become more active again. Lots of out of shape folks worry that exercising is going to be too hard and too painful.

But with this bike, the extra power assist is there when you need it. So that hill doesn't have to look impossible. Some forms of electric bike don't even need to be pedaled. If you get too tired, let the bike take over.

3. You'll gain time.
Remember the Seinfeld episode in which George was in a stand-off for hours over a parking space? Although most people won't go to those lengths for a parking spot, it is time consuming to circle endlessly looking for a space. A study recently reported that commuters in the L.A. area spend 50 hours a year in traffic jams.

Another research project showed that during rush hour, people on bicycles get places faster than people in cars. How long does it take you to hail a cab? Wait for a bus? Electric bicycles give you the freedom to go where you want when you want.

2. You'll have more fun.
John F. Kennedy said, "Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride." You may be hesitating to join family or friends on bike rides. Bike touring is gaining in popularity. Groups of friends may bike along scenic rivers and through historic towns.

Fear of the terrain being too challenging or the ride too long may be holding you back. This is when an e bike is perfect for the task. Any time you need a break, the bike will take care of you. So you can join your grandkids on a ride with confidence. You don't always have to be the one of bringing up the rear any more!

And the number one reason you should think electric bicycle…

1. You're doing your part to save the environment.
Emissions from cars are the worst thing that can happen to the air. Worse even than power plants. Polycyclic hydrocarbons, benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon dioxide are just some of the by-products of the internal combustion engine that are poisoning the air.

The negative health impact of these toxins is well documented. From your heart to your lungs to every molecule in your body, these airborne pollutants are very bad news. Every individual who makes a choice to ride an electric bike instead of take a car is helping to turn this terrible situation around.
