E-Bikes for Effortless Fun Rides
Ever dream of cycling without breaking a sweat, even on hills? That’s the magic of ebikes or electric bikes, bikes equipped with an electric motor that boosts your pedalling power. They’re not fancy scooters – you still pedal, but the motor acts like a helpful friend, making hills flatter and long distances fly by.
E-bikes have been around for over a century, nope you read that right. An American inventor named Ogden Bolton Junior patented a battery-powered bike in 1895. There have been several patented versions over the last century. It wasn’t until much later that the kinds of e-bikes we see being ridden today were designed. During the 90s the first bikes with torque sensors and power controls became available and the demand for e-bikes has grown exponentially over the last decade.
So this si how it works:
- Think regular bike, but supercharged: A quiet electric motor hidden within helps you pedal. It kicks in when you need it most, like on steep climbs or against strong winds.
- You are in charge, pedal power matters: Unlike motorized vehicles, e-bikes require pedalling. But the motor amps up your effort, making tough sections manageable and long rides more enjoyable.
- Choose your power, choose your ride: Pick from different assistance levels depending on your fitness and the terrain. Feeling energetic? Go low-power for a workout. Cruising with friends? Dial it up for effortless fun.
- There’s an e-bike for everyone: From mountain climbers to city commuters, you’ll find an e-bike that matches your style and needs.
This is what you have been waiting for so say goodbye to exhaustive pedalling and hello to effortless gliding? Hop on an e-bike and unlock a whole new world of cycling adventures! Pop into The Cycle Asylum and see our full range of bikes. We will set you up with right e-bike for you at the best price.
