Bicycles are becoming more and more favorite each year as citizen realise that there are other alternatives to the gas-guzzling car to getting around, particularly as many of our everyday trips to the shops, or to work for example, are quite short. Even short trips in your car can work out quite expensive when you look back at your each year fuel bills, the wear and tear on your car, the time spent battling the traffic and the cost to the environment. But not every person relishes the idea of slogging along to work on their motorcycle and arriving hot and sweaty. That's where the electric bike comes in, and not only are they a great idea for the commuter, they can play a very foremost role in the lives and well-being of the less mobile members of society.
Electric bikes have come a long way in modern years and now come in a whole of varieties, from road bikes and mountain bikes to fold-up and three wheeler bikes, there is one for all occasions. Beside being a lot of fun and taking the hard work and drudgery out of cycling to work or colse to town, electric bicycles can be a huge aid to the elderly, frail or infirm. citizen who fall into these brackets have often lost the confidence or compel to ride a general motorcycle but would still like to be out in the fresh air and getting colse to under their own steam. Enter the electric bicycle. The attractiveness of these machines is that the rider can get as much or as limited rehearsal as they choose.
ELECTRIC
An elderly person, a frail person, a someone recovering from a major illness or operation; these are the citizen that would more than likely baulk at the hope of jumping on a motorcycle in order to secure compel and mobility, as it does take a degree of balance and compel to ride a general bike. But an electric three wheeled bicycle, for instance, would be perfect, providing them with the means to get out and about while allowing them to growth their workload slowly and slowly without fear of falling of their bike.
The first trip down to the shops or round to see their friends could be solely powered by the electric motor. On the next trip, the someone could maybe do a limited pedalling, which could be very light on the body as the electric motor would be doing ninety five per cent of the work. Next time let the motor take only eighty percent of the load, and so on. I have personally seen a whole of elderly citizen in my local area nipping down to the shops with their baskets on the front, or tootling down to the local club to meet up with friends. That has got to be good than sitting at home and seizing up. You have earned your retirement. Don't let lack of mobility spoil your hard-earned relaxation days.
One last thing on electric bikes that is very important, especially if you are retired; these machine are a whole lot economy to run than your car. I own an electric or E-bike and have done my homework on the cost of running them. A full payment will cost you colse to five cents and you will go a fair distance on that charge, added if you pedal a bit yourself. I know that my car costs a lot more than that before I have even left my driveway. So in a nutshell we have; exercise, economy, limited environmental impact, virtually pollution free, not traffic hassles, no parking hassles. It's got to be worth thinking about, hasn't it? As you can tell, I'm a convert. Happy cycling!
