These days social media feeds are filled to the brim with hacks and dupes, ways to save time, get a bargain, or do something better with less stress. Some of these tips and insider tricks might feel too good to be true…or a bit like cheating. But, if you’re able to achieve equal or better results with less struggle and toil, isn’t it just smarter?
E-biking is an ideal all-inclusive, healthy activity; not an inferior alternative or lesser dupe to traditional bike riding. In terms of exercise, there have even been a number of recent studies suggesting that e-biking isn’t all that dissimilar to cycling.
From stress reduction to weight management, e-bike riding is proving to be a revolution in the way people approach cycling, commuting, exploring their community, and improving their overall health and wellness.
E-bikes increase range, mobility, and terrain possibility. When used in pedal-assist mode, e-bikes offer a world of healthy benefits to both body and mind. Since EBC e-bikes’ pedal assist levels can be adjusted on the fly, riders control their level of exertion—making e-bikes ideal for a vast array of fitness levels and inclusive for a wide-variety of ages and physical capabilities. Plus, with the cutting-edge technology available on EBC e-bikes, safety and capability grows exponentially.
Here are EBC’s top reasons why e-biking is not cheating:
- Low-impact: E-bike riding is gentle on joints and muscles while still offering the many benefits of physical activity.
- Heart health: Cycling is known as a great cardio exercise and E-bike riding is no different. Accessible to a wide-range of fitness levels, with adjustable pedal assist riders choose their level of exertion making it a great way to improve heart health.
- Weight management: Getting the heart pumping also means riders are burning calories, promoting healthy weight loss and/or management.
- Fun = frequent: The more you ride and the further you go, the greater the health benefits. Pedal assist can be just the “push” riders need to make riding more fun, making rides more frequent.
- Decrease stress: Spending time outdoors is known to support a healthier outlook. And, exercise releases endorphins (natural mood boost). Put it all together and E-bike riding is an ideal pastime to help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
- Greater safety & capability: With an automatic light sensor, integrated lights, brake lights, an electric horn, turn signals, high/low beam functionality, and USB outlet riders can experience a greater sense of safety and security.
- Carry More On-The-Go: Most EBC models now come standard with the innovative MIK rear racking system. This provides riders with the ability to simply click a MIK accessory into the locking rack and remove it with an adaptor key, allowing for the addition of such handy accessories as baskets, trunk bags, pet carriers and so much more.
