Electric Bikes - A Transportation Vehicle and not just for Fun

E bikes or Electric Bikes are not the normal bicycles we grew up riding with. The difference in e bikes though is that there is an electric motor attached to power the vehicle. At first glance you will never notice the difference between a regular bicycle and an e bike, until you look closely and ride one.


An Electric bike or e bike design may vary depending on its maker. But the typical e bike has a motor, batteries and a motor controller. The more sophisticated ones are foldable, lightweight, with motor 36V 200W, Display LED, V brakes, Gears, Battery L--Ion 9Ah, Zoom 120 and slightly expensive. Due to its slowly rising demand, e bikes are one of Australia’s favorite rides.  In fact, even children are getting the hang of riding e bikes. People from different ages are using e bikes because of its “environment – friendly” concept.

Imagine riding a bicycle with the power of a motorcycle without the gasoline, which we all know is very harmful to the environment due to the smoke it emits (carbon monoxide).  With E bikes its guilt free, efficient and definitely fun. You can speed up without getting tired of pedaling even up to several kilometers (depending on your battery capacity). This is an ideal transportation for students and yuppies that is tired of getting stuck in traffic and doesn’t want to spend extra for gas. If you haven’t tried riding a bike yet or maybe you wanted to but couldn’t afford to buy one, you can actually create your own e bike. There are a lot of available DIY’s (do it yourself) manuals and videos online on how to assemble your own e bike, even if you’re on tight budget. 


Everybody should own an e bike, even for those who never learned how to ride one. I’m sure E bikes would conquer the world soon, especially with the Oil Price rising to the top.  E bike is the solution to the constant oil price change simply because an e bike doesn’t need gas. This is definitely one form of transportation I highly recommend to everyone.
