Bikes are most common among people as we know . And it is one of the most popular mode of transportation used by student all over the world for going to school and colleges . But it is not only the choice of students but it is also preferred by many working people which help them to maintain them to maintain their physical health with their busy schedule . But if we see , it is not always possible to paddle for a long distance and when you are going uphill , it become exhausting. So for this kind of problem, now-a-days people are switching to e-bikes . A more efficient way to travel and exercise .

 

    E-BIKES

        

            Electric bikes which is also known as e-bikes are basically a bicycle with electric motor . now you must be wandering what difference it does make to it . But you must know , it makes the difference . it can increase your speed up-to 25 kmph to 30 kmph . I have even seen some e-bikes to reach upto 40 kmph to 45 kmph and this is a very impressive speed for a bike . And the new versions are getting better day by day in its performance and so even its trends . so if you have questions on e-bikes like " Buying an e-bike will worth it or not ? " or  " How good is an e-bike ? ". So to clear this we will go through some of its features , comparisons , statistics and know how is it changing the world .

 

     FEATURES OF E-BIKES

                      Now e-bikes didn't remain any normal bike with electric motor which you have to charge at home and after that you can use it . Now e- bikes come with detachable lithium ion battery that you can remove and carry it with you to the charge point . And even some e-bikes come  with burglar alarms. E-bikes has also developed three modes for cycling .  In 'paddle mode' or you can say normal mode you can use the bike like a normal bicycle by paddling it . Another mode is 'throttle mode' in which your bike will be electric driven where you don't have to use any energy to move your e-bike. it is a very good option if you are tired and you cannot stop to take rest . And the last one is 'paddle-assist mode' which is actually a combination of both the paddle mode and throttle mode in which electric motor will assist you and help you gain more speed while paddling your cycle.

 

      COMPARISION

    

         E-BIKES VS MOTOR CYCLE 

                      It is very obvious that people would like to use motor cycle than e-bikes . And why not motorcycle are fast . But as I said earlier e-bike can easily reach upto 25 kmph to 30kmph which is considered to be very ideal speed in many places . And if you are living in a city , then it is the best mode of transportation you can use . And if you are too much conscious about pollution than , this must be your choice .

                       And you can charge your e-bikes at your home or even in your office with detachable battery, whereas you cannot refill your motor cycle at your home . And imagine a situation when you are on road and your tank get empty , you cannot ride on it and paddle it . However , motorcycle are known for its speed and strength but if you are a cycle geek and prefer to cycle to maintain your health and very conscious about time , you should choose 'e-bikes' .

 

             E-BIKES VS CAR

                      There is not much difference between car and motor cycle if we compare them with e-bikes. You can compare e-bikes and car in same ways as that of motor cycle. The only difference is, car have more space than them .

          

              E-BIKES VS E-SCOOTER 

                        Now ,this is a comparison where people think that both are electric powered so what should they choose . And I agree that both are quite similar in both features and performance . But what matter here is safety . The chances of accident and damage is more in e-scooter than e-bikes . So for long distance travel e-bikes would be much better than  e-scooter . But if you plans to just hangout with your friends and roam around in the city then you can choose e-scooter. But for a long rides e-scooter would be good .

               When it comes on how e-bikes have an impact on environment , then the results seems good . It shows zero effect on environment . E-bikes are considered as zero pollution vehicle . Their use prevent the release of roughly 500 pounds  of carbon emission . And as zero-emission vehicle, e-bikes do not contribute to air pollution. Reducing waste is one way to reduce one's carbon footprint. Like car, e-bikes have batteries that should be replaced, but the batteries have much longer life span making its batteries long lasting.
