3An Innovation in Transportation
- Benefits to Our World
- Electric bicycles offer a green solution to
transportation. These bikes are not emitting
noxious fumes which harm the ozone layer and
create problems in our environment. They are
energy efficient and convenient. - Benefits to You
- Electric bicycles have many wonderful benefits
for us. With these bikes, we have a motorized
mode of transportation which does not need any
fuel. This also means more money in your pocket.
These bikes are also ideal for riding on
sidewalks and bike trails. They are the ideal
choice for traveling to work, getting around
campus, or just exploring the great outdoors.
Again, the convenience is astounding. - Electric Bike Requirements
- Electric bicycles are a great new thing, but
there are some requirements to enjoying them on
the road. The biggest requirement is age. Before
you hop on that bike, take a look at the Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations website. The age
requirements vary from province to province. For
example, in Alberta, the minimum age requirement
is 12 years old while in Quebec you will need to
be 18 years of age to legally cycle down the
street on an electric bike. It is important to
know the laws before investing in an electric
bicycle.
4Stay in Shape and Help the Planet
- New Options
- For bicyclists looking for a greener solution to
their daily commute to work, there is now a wide
range of electric bicycles on the market to
choose from. This means a better fit for each
rider and an affordable price range that will
encourage new customers to purchase their first
electric bicycle. For those who have a bike that
they love but would also like the convenience of
going electric, many shops offer conversion kits.
These kits simply attach to an existing bicycle
and turn it into a motorized one. - Safety
- Some bicyclists might be hesitant making the
switch to an electric bicycle, but since they can
go anywhere a conventional bike can go, they are
just as safe to ride. With top speeds of up to 28
mph, they are faster than non-powered bicycles,
but they can also be used without the motor. Many
riders prefer only engaging the motor to assist
them when climbing hills, fighting the wind, or
simply for brief breaks on a long commute.
5Stay in Shape and Help the Planet
- Green Power
- Electric bicycles are a great option for anyone
looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Many
newer models have USB charging capabilities and
are fully charged in as little as 3 hours. Once
fully charged, the motorized bike can travel up
to 20 miles on a single charge. Electric bike
riders are saving time, money and the environment
with no trips to the gas station, zero emissions
and by removing vehicles from crowded city
streets. Once at work, there is no circling the
block looking for parking, paying for parking, or
other daily hassles because these bikes can be
locked outside with other bicycles and are
portable enough to be brought inside to charge
during work hours, so that they are ready to
bring you home at the end of the day. - Service
- Since they are a relatively new technology,
buyers might be uncertain about repairs and
service to their new electric bicycles. Luckily,
most shops that specialize in selling e-bikes
also provide in-house service and repair. Because
of a simple design, there are not too many parts
to repair, this means faster turnaround and
getting the rider back on the road.
6What are electronic bikes and are they the new
bikes of the future?
- An E-bike is basically just like a bike, but it
provides speed through electricity. It provides
much more speed than anyone can get using just
leg power. Dont worry though! You still pedal on
the bikes and get your cardiovascular exercise.
Many of the models come with throttle mode. This
mode assists you while going uphill or against
heavy winds. The platform is low to the ground on
these scooters which make them very simple to get
on. Generally, like most bikes, the e-bike weighs
less than 40 pounds. The bikes have a foldable
frame, however, which can allow for simple
transportation of the bikes. - E-bike, E-scooter, or Car?
- Go green! An e-bike can reduce your impact on the
environment by reducing your carbon footprint. It
is also a lot cheaper than a car is.
Transportation can become simpler by using these
scooters because they allow you to work your way
through crowded cities and they can be taken on
public transportation. This can promote many more
ways to travel! - Electric scooters are also allowed on sidewalks,
so you can avoid heavy, dangerous traffic.
Electric scooters have lower maximum speed than
e-bikes which can be safer. The slim design of an
e-scooter makes them easy to maneuver around
objects on sidewalks. A magnum e-bikes top speed
is 28 mph. Whereas, a cars average speed in the
city is 18 mph.
7The Scooter A Modern Alternative to Driving
- Cost is No Barrier
- Of all the alternate forms of travel available
these days, an electric scooter is one of the
most affordable. Less expensive than electric
cars and bikes, electric scooters allow anyone
ownership with no or minimal licensing
requirements. Because they are electric, electric
scooter users will save money on fuel while they
are reducing their carbon footprint. - Ease of Use
- Non-motorized scooters have been around for
decades as a fun alternative for kids from
bicycles. Learning to ride a scooter is easy for
kids as well as adults. There is almost nothing
to an electric scooters handlebars, deck, and
wheels, so there is little to maintain, and since
the brakes and accelerator are mounted on the
handlebars, they are easy to reach for any age
user. Most electric models of scooters also allow
use with or without the motor, so parents can let
the kids play on the scooter without the motor
running if they prefer. Some models even come
with lights on the back, for added safety. Wide,
pneumatic tires offer a smooth ride with less
worry about a flat tire. These tires also allow
for riding on almost any surface. - Convenience
- Driving in a city means not only navigating
traffic but also finding parking. Electric
scooters allow riders to travel by road, but
because they are light enough to carry or push,
they can be taken across sidewalks or into
subways. This allows the scooter commuter more
flexibility when deciding how to get to school,
work, or wherever they want to go. Once they
reach their destination, there is no need to
worry about paying for parking or finding a
parking space.
8Electric Bicycles The Only Electric-Powered Bike
Keeping its Riders Physically Fit
- What Exactly are Electric Bicycles?
- Electric bicycles are bikes first. They look just
like the bikes that 10-year-old kids ride,
complete with pedals and gears, shifters and a
chain drive, all situated on a bike frame.
However, e-bikes have batteries and electric
motors to help propel them forward, for instance,
if a cyclist gets tired of manual pedal
propulsion going uphill or needs some extra
momentum. Electric bicycles can take the rider a
further distance for a, sometimes, longer
duration, than their purely pedal-powered
cousins. - Electric Bicycle Benefits
- Electric bicycles are quiet
- E-bike batteries are very inexpensive to charge
- They can be parked in the same places as
bicycles, including on racks and in garages
free of charge - Electric bicycles keep riders physically fit
- E-bikes are lightweight
- No registration or insurance fees are due
- Safer than their motorcycle cousins
- Easily mounted on an automobiles bike rack for
transport to other areas - Electric bicycles are rideable on biking trails
and lanes
9Electric Bicycle Maintenance, Part DIY and Part
Pro
- Cleaning the chain
- The easiest method is to purchase a chain
cleaner/degreaser and follow the products
directions. - Chain tension adjustments
- A loose chain means skipped gears. After placing
the e-bike on a repair stand, turn the barrel
adjuster and test by turning the pedal and
shifting. Make sure the chain does not skip two
cogs. If it does, adjust accordingly. - Brake adjustments
- If your brake lever reaches the handlebars when
pressed, turn the brake adjuster on the brake
caliper until you reach the right amount of
tension.
10Electric Bicycle Maintenance, Part DIY and Part
Pro
- Inflating the tire(s)
- Tire pressure is highly customizable, depending
upon the weight of the rider, type of terrain,
weather, tire volume and the width of the rim.
The best thing to do is to get a small pressure
gauge which is portable and play around with tire
pressure until it feels right. - Electric Bicycle Upkeep for Professional
Mechanics - Electric bicycles with technologically advanced
computer systems, batteries and throttles are
best left to the experts for servicing during
tune-ups. These professionals have special
diagnostic tools to diagnose, tune-up and fix
certain maintenance items competently. On some
models, the computers are even locked, and a
professional must be the one to perform the
servicing. Generally speaking, advanced knowledge
and specific tools are needed to tune-up and
service electric bicycles well.
11How You Can Change Your Life by Purchasing an
Electric Scooter
- Cost Effective and Energy Efficient
- Electric scooters offer the same benefits of a
bicycle, without the physical strain or potential
danger. They can save you thousands of dollars
spent on gas over time, compared to a car, and
could even cut down your daily commute if you
live in a traffic-dense area. However, unlike a
traditional bicycle, electric scooters are
motorized, saving you from having to break a
sweat getting from point a to point b. No one
wants to show up to work with sweat stains in his
or her armpits. By investing in an electric
scooter, you can also help save the planet,
without having to smell like old gym socks for
the rest of the day. - Compact and Durable
- Another huge benefit of owning an electric
scooter is that they are built to last but easy
to transport. Electric scooters are known for
being sturdy because they have such a simple
structure. Yet, because of this simple structure,
they are easy to break down and transport. Simply
fold it up and carry it with you, wherever you
may be going, or stash it away until later.
Electric scooters are made for versatility, and
they are perfect for anyone who lives an active
lifestyle.
12How You Can Change Your Life by Purchasing an
Electric Scooter
- Also, because they are so compact, you can easily
ride an electric scooter down a sidewalk on a
busy road. No need to risk your life traveling
along the shoulder or in traffic. With an
electric scooter, you can easily navigate any
environment. - Fun for the Whole Family
- Electric scooters are for everyone! In addition
to being a practical mode of transportation, they
are also just plain fun to ride. Take the kids to
the park or just around the block. Electric
scooters are a great way to include the whole
family in outings and encourage kids to be
outside. Obviously, you must pay attention to
safety regulations, especially with younger
children. However, an electric scooter can be a
fun, safe alternative to a bike or ATV, that is
great for all ages.
13The Electric Slide Are Electric Scooters the Way
to Go?
- Feel the Electricity
- Electric scooters are an undeniable alternative.
It is not dangerous, but it will get your kids
moving. It is exciting, and that excitement
lasts. It is durable, and it is not easy to
break. Other items such as an iPad or iPhone can
be broken. One accident and there goes 800 down
the drain. You do not have to worry about
breaking an electric scooter if dropped. - Sneak Peek
- Electric scooters give your kids a sneak peek
into adult transportation. They allow children to
imagine themselves as adults with more freedom.
It is not the real thing, but it is close enough
to keep them busy. They can use it anywhere, and
it is safe to travel. So, there are endless
possibilities for how your kids can use them. - The Great Outdoors
- Electric scooters have one other unintended
benefit. They get kids moving and outside without
the kids feeling like they are exercising. It
still encourages outside activity and exercise
without forcing the issue. Childrens obesity
rates are the highest they have ever been, so
anything which slows this process is a win for
childrens health.
