Electric Bicycles

• The History of the E-Bike
• E-bikes have been recognized with numerous U.S.
  Patents. One of those patents was granted to
  Ogden Bolton Jr., on December 31, 1895, for a
  battery powered bike that had a
  6-pole-brush-and-commutator direct current (DC)
  hub motor mounted in the rear wheel. This bike
  had no gears and the motor could pull up to 100
  amperes (A) from a 10-volt battery.
• Another e-bike was invented two years later by a
  Hosea W. Libbey of Boston. This e-bike was
  propelled by a double-electric motor. The
  motor was created within the center of the
  crankset axel. This model was re-created and
  replicated during the 1990s by Giant Lafree
  e-bikes.
• Classes of E-Bikes
• A pedal-assisted e-bike uses the motor to
  regulate the pedaling. The pedal-assisted motor
  enhances the riders pedaling efforts. These
  e-bikes are called pedelecs and use a sensor
  device to sense the speed or force of the pedals,
  or both. There is also a brake activation that
  senses if there is a need to disable the motor.
• The power-on-demand e-bike has a motor that is
  operated by the use of a throttle. This is
  usually mounted on the handlebars as with a
  motorcycle or scooter.

Electric Bicycle

• Why would you want to buy an e-bike?
• Since first being created, the e-bike has gained
  in its popularity with lighter frames, longer
  lasting batteries, and plenty of styles to choose
  from its easy to see why so many people are
  buying e-bikes for their everyday, local
  commuting needs. Not only is an e-bike capable
  of getting you around much faster than a
  traditional bike e-bikes also have many other
  advantages. An e-bike can make a hill smoother,
  allow you to go on an extensive bike ride without
  tiring out helps get a person in shape, as well
  as allowing a person to just enjoy the outdoors.
  Riding an e-bike is an experience that everyone
  should try it allows a person the chance to get
  out of the car, off the bus and off the roads
  onto some back trails where they can experience
  the great outdoors at its best.

Electric Bikes

• The three principle parts of the e-bike are the
  motor, drivetrain and battery. An e-bike is
  similar to a standard bicycle however, the
  e-bike is reliant upon these three main parts.
• The e-bikes single most significant
  characteristic is the electric motor. There are
  various types of motors that can be on an e-bike
  such as the front-hub, rear-hub and mid-drive
  motors.
• Located on the front tire, the front-hub motor
  supplies a momentum by spinning the front tire,
  this momentum creates the feeling that the e-bike
  is being pulled ahead.
• Next is the rear-hubthe rear-hub motors operate
  by supplying momentum to spin the rear tire this
  gives the rider the more ordinary feeling of
  being pushed forward. The rear-hub is much
  more normal than the front hub and riders seem to
  prefer the rear-hub motor e-bikes.
• The next type of motor is the mid-drive this one
  sends the e-bikes drivetrain the power instead
  of sending it to either of the hubs.
• The battery on an e-bike has a range lasting
  anywhere from twenty to sixty miles per each
  charge. This is dependent on how the rider uses
  the battery either pedaling only, pedal
  assistant and battery only.

Why You Should Consider Buying an Electric Bicycle

• Electric charging
• Convenient longer-lasting batteries are fitted
  into the e-bike and charged in a few hours. Solar
  charging options are also available, allowing the
  bike to save energy as you ride. When fully
  charged, the e-bikes can cover longer distances
  for several hours.
• Inbuilt security systems
• You will be able to know of any interference with
  your bicycle even when parked far from you. An
  application on your phone will alert you of any
  attempted vandalism and you will be able to track
  any movement. They also have features that allow
  you to lock and unlock your electric bicycle with
  your fingerprint.
• Parking/ Storage space.
• Parking space in most cities is always never
  enough. The available space does not come cheap
  either. With your electronic bicycle, you can
  simply lock it in a tiny spot and go about your
  business.

Why You Should Consider Buying an Electric Bicycle

• Some sleekly designed e-bikes can be transformed
  into smaller sizes and carried anywhere. You can
  also fit your bike in areas like the corner of
  your office trunk of your car or even under your
  desk as it has the ability to fold into half for
  easy storage.
• Save on commute time.
• An electric bicycle can beat the speed of cars
  especially when there is heavy traffic. They can
  fit small sections of the road where even the
  smallest car cannot fit and get through traffic.
• Physical exercise
• The e-bike has a functionality that allows you to
  switch to pedal mode. When you want to become
  more active, you can choose to pedal and enjoy
  your session as you get to your destination while
  enjoying the fresh air.

Electric Scooters

• History of Electric Scooter and Motorcycles
• The first electric motorcycle was patented by
  Ogden Bolton Jr., on September 19, 1895 the
  following November of the same year there was
  another patent filed for an electric bike by a
  Hosea W. Libbey of Boston.
• Then in London, England in 1896, the bicycle
  manufacture known as Humber showed the exhibit of
  an electric Tandem bicycle during the Stanley
  Cycle Show. This electric bicycle was powered by
  batteries and had a motor in front of the rear
  wheel. There was a speed control resistance that
  was placed across the handle bars, this electric
  tandem bicycle was originally designed to use at
  the racetrack.
• Electric Scooter in Modern Day
• Currently electric scooter and motorcycles are
  becoming the new mode of transportation options.
  Because of overcrowded streets and the rising
  costs of gasoline, many people are parking their
  gas powered vehicles and buying a more economical
  electric scooter for everyday, short trips around
  town.
• Electric scooters are economical, dependable, and
  require very little maintenance. Electric
  scooters are great transportation if you are a
  student or work in an office. You can ride your
  scooter in the bicycle lane and bi-pass all that
  congested traffic on the street, getting to work
  on time and home even quicker.

Electric Scooters

• Electric scooters are not just for fun anymore
  there are also scooters that are made to add
  mobility to a disabled or elderly persons life
  who before they had their scooter were confined
  to a wheelchair and had no independence. Now
  with their new mobility scooter, an elderly or
  disabled person is no longer dependent on someone
  else to come over and push their wheelchair for
  them, they can get into their mobility scooter
  and ride it to the corner store for groceries, or
  just go for a ride around the neighbourhood and
  enjoy the day. Gone is their lack of
  independence, thanks to mobility scooters.
• Even the 9-5ers are parking their gas-powered
  vehicles and purchasing an electric scooter to
  get around town electric scooters are very
  economical and require very little maintenance.
  On a fully charged battery a person can travel
  several miles before needing another charge.
  Just pack along the battery charger in a backpack
  or other carry-on luggage type bag, and when you
  get to the office, plug it in to ensure you have
  enough juice to go to lunch, at lunch time you
  can ride your scooter to your favourite lunchtime
  hangout and back to the office in less time than
  it took to get in your car, drive to the
  restaurant, wait for long stopping lights to
  change signals, then search for a parking spot,
  all this took up valuable lunch break time. With
  your scooter you just hop on the scooter and ride
  straight to your destinationyou can take you
  scooter indoors (in most cases) if not, lock it
  up at the bicycle rack out front no hassles at
  all.

Electric Scooters

• Here are just a few of the good reasons to
  purchase an electric scooter
• They are lightweight and easy to maneuver this
  means that you are not going to tire out just by
  riding an electric scooter.
• You dont have to take any special classes to
  learn how to operate an electric scooter. There
  arent any gears to learn how to use just hop on
  and push the start button or roll-back the
  accelerator on the hand grip, and youre on the
  road.
• Electronic scooters are very economical. The only
  thing you pay for is the electricity you use to
  charge your electric scooter. No pulling in at
  the pumps and waiting in line to fuel up with
  gasolineespecially at the rate gasoline prices
  are increasing!
• Electric scooters are low-maintenanceno fuel
  injectors, radiators or other heavy engine parts
  you dont have to do a lot of engine maintenance
  on your scooter. Also, you dont have to change
  the oil or clean the coolant system. This saves
  you a lot of money in the long run.

Electric Scooters

• Your travel costs will be greatly reduced because
  you wont have to pay for gasoline.
• Scooters come with a high-powered, lithium-ion
  battery, allowing you to travel for miles with no
  worries.
• Scooters are safe for all ages. They come
  complete with circuit breakers, safety
  switchgear, power controllers, brake travel
  switches, as well as other controller safety
  devices that make riding on a scooter safe for
  everyone.
• You do not need a driver license to ride your
  scooter and there are no age limits (unless state
  laws state otherwise).
• Speeds go up to 20 mph, making it safe to ride on
  roads. However, it is still a requirement to
  abide by safety rules such as wearing a helmet.

Electric Scooters - The Future Of Individual
Transportation

• E-scooters can be bought with accessories to
  enhance their efficiency and effectiveness.
• One of the most important accessories is the
  helmet. This protective headgear will prevent
  head injuries in case of accidents. A good helmet
  should be able to fit perfectly so that it
  doesnt come off during a fall.
• Whether in a familiar territory or not, scooter
  security locks are a must have since at some
  point you will need to park your scooter outside.
  
• A pair of gloves and knee pads are also necessary
  when you are operating the E-Scooter. They will
  prevent serious hand and knee injuries when you
  fall off your E-Scooter.
• Cover sheets are a great necessity especially
  when you need to leave your electronic scooter
  outside. This will protect your scooter from
  weather elements like rain, dust and sun,
  prolonging the lifespan of your electric scooter.
• Other important accessories are the phone holder
  to place your phone as you ride and a pouch space
  that allows you to store groceries and other
  light packages.
