Whether you commute to work or school, to run errands or extracurricular activities, chances are many of your daily drives are within range to e-bike instead. From considering the environmental effects, cost of gas prices, physical fitness, and time spent looking for parking, the incentives to make the change to e-biking for commutes are enticing.
As the days get shorter, and the opportunities to get out for recreation are fewer and farther between, commuting via e-bike is a great way to fit it all in. But, if you’re thinking going from four wheels to two is just too impractical, Electric Bike Company has compiled some of our favorites reasons to make the change.
The following are our favorite reasons to commute via e-bike:
- No air pollution: e-bikes are zero-emission which prevents global warming and reduces smog and other air contaminants.
- Get fit: Using the pedal assist option will burn calories, reduce blood pressure (and stress) while increasing your energy and mood.
- Front parking every time: Depending on traffic, you may beat your coworkers (peers) to work (school) as you cruise to your destination; but a near guarantee is not matter where you’re heading, parking will be front and center, just waiting for you.
- Save $: Gas prices are high (exorbitant), so the less you drive your car, the more money you save!
- Go farther while leaving the car at home: Experts have suggested riding a bike to get around instead of a car for years; but the reality of that is too challenging for many. E-bikes enable riders to go farther faster and more comfortably, making it easier to chose to ride than drive.
- Accessories: Whether you need a crate to tote groceries, a basket to carry a furry friend, or a double pannier bag for important documents the MIK integrated Click System for seamless cargo additions and quick accessory adjustments make accessories a breeze.
So, as most of us adjust to Day Light Savings Time, think about how you can make some positive changes of your own! The incentives to change up your commute, even a few days a week, to e-biking are better for your health, the environment, and your pocketbook.
