Electric Bicycle  Benefits

Riding an electric bike doesn't require a license, registration, or insurance.

The investment and operating costs are small.

Building one car uses as much material as it takes to make 100 bicycles

For every 500 miles an electric bike is used in place of a car, an average of 25 gallons of fuel is saved - and this much pollution is prevented:
 • 3.42 pounds of hydrocarbons
 • 25.28 pounds of carbon monoxide
 • 1.77 pounds of nitrogen oxides

Short trips account for most of the cars on the road and most of our air pollution. So, for the health of the planet, leave your car at home and ride an electric bike.

Electric bikes generate both personal and global benefits. And the benefits are multiplied when other household members use your electric bike.
E-bikes support a simple lifestyle. They're easy to use; just flip a switch to get a gentle, but firm, push.

They save time in two ways: 1) For errands up to a mile and on some congested commutes, e-bikes are quicker than the car; 2) Their low cost means you work fewer hours supporting them. The pace of life slows a bit while riding an electric bike. Stress goes down, enjoyment of life goes up. Fun happens!

Your health and fitness will likely improve. How can that be with a motor on your bike? Because you will actually be riding that bike more often. It's more fun! Traffic snarls aren't frustrating and stressful. In fact, the worse the jam, the more gratifying the ride. It doesn't just feel like you're "beating the system". In many ways, you are! Despite our culture's belief that bicycling is dangerous, remember that heart disease is almost 1,000 times more dangerous
