Electric Bikes – The Green Alternative


Instead of buying a second car, a practical, environment friendly alternative means of commuting might be a great option for you! It is not just cost effective but healthy as well! Get to look down some of the facts why you should give an electric bike a thought.


1.       It is Cheaper to buy!

Everybody knows that owning a car may cost you a small fortune. Bank loans could even increase your expenses over time because of interests and penalties if you are unable to pay your due on time.

2.       Much Less Environment Footprint to Manufacture.

Imagine the raw materials used in making a single car. Think about how much could it take from the natural resources and the effect of it’s by product as well! With the same note, the manufacture of an e bike may just be the same as the cost of manufacturing a single door of the same car.

3.       Zero Pollution.

Since electric bikes are powered by batteries (and you as well), there are no harmful emissions and chemicals released in the air and the environment.

4.       Road friendly.

Considering the overall construction of an electric bike, its weight and maximum speed, you don’t really expect a life threatening mishap if ever you came into an accident unlike that of a car. Because of its light weight, it is less likely to wear down a road than a heavier car, reducing taxpayers cost for road maintenance and repairs.

5.       Healthy.

Need I say more the benefits of exercise to your body and attitude as well? You would be able to rid of yourself of that stubborn beer belly once and for all, and in a good way! Study show that people who exercise more are more active, efficient, have lesser off time from work than those who don’t.

6.       Cheap to operate.

A car uses fuel to propel. Gasoline and diesel fuel might cost less than last year but for $0.10 a charge for an electric bike, we can see who wins at the expense category right away.

You can’t obviously use an electric bike as your car can do such as driving cross country, or hauling people and stuff but that’s why you have your first car in the first place! Get to experience a different way of commuting. Find yourself an electric bike, who knows, you might like it you will use it more often than your car!
