Benefits of E Bicycles for Short Distance Travel

E bicycles are now becoming really popular in Australia. Shops are now opening in almost every city corner and it is a common sight to see people go to work using an E bicycle, to pick up some groceries, to visit a friend around the corner and other short distance travel. So the question is why is it very popular? Well to help you decide if an E bicycle is for you, here are some of its benefits that you can enjoy.

Cheaper to use than your car

Whether you have a fuel thirsty SUV with a massive V8 or a small 2 liter inline 4 sedan nothing beats the cost effectiveness on an E bicycle. On average you spend about $40 per 100 miles on your car depending on traffic conditions, your car, your driving habit and the price of petrol. With an E bicycle 100 miles will cost you less than a dollar. That is more than 95% savings on top of what you will be saving on your car’s maintenance and repair.

Better for the environment

Did you know that a car traveling at around 20 miles per hour can easily emit 1 pound of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere per mile? Well it may not sound much but on average that is about 12,000 pounds per year per car. Collective that will be millions of metric tons of greenhouse gases emitted to our poor atmosphere.

E bicycles emit no pollution and the indirect greenhouse gas that it produce through charging is very minimal and some of your high tech appliances may even indirectly produce more pollution.

Say goodbye to license and registration

An E bicycle does not require any license and registration to use it. So it is just buy and use. No hassle, no drama just pure biking pleasure.

No more parking wars

Tired of going to grocery to pick up a few items just to find out that there is available parking slot? Always late for work because you can’t find a decent parking slot? An E bike is easier to park so you never have to worry if there is a parking space wherever you will go.

Easier to clean

It is always a pain staking routine to wash your car over the weekend when you should be resting and enjoying some good old family bonding time. An E bike is easier to clean and it will just take you minutes to bring back that shine not hours like with a car.

So if the above benefits make you smile then an E bicycle is definitely for you.
