When you're looking for convenient transportation to work or an outlet for leisurely physical fitness and weekend adventures, investing in an electric bike is a perfect choice. Unlike a traditional bicycle or motorcycle, an e-bike combines manual pedals with a battery-powered, rechargeable motor that can allow you to cruise at upwards of 30 mph. If you're thinking about this exciting technology, here are a few reasons to visit a shop for a test ride.  

How an E-Bike Helps You and the Environment

1. Zero Emissions

Motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds depend on gas in order to power the engine. In contrast, an electric bike is powered by a rechargeable motor that uses a battery to propel you forward. In turn, you won't be adding harmful carbon emissions to the atmosphere. You'll reduce your carbon footprint and do your part to create a cleaner, greener community.  

2. Save on Gas and Maintenance

With an electric device, you won't have to pay for gas. This can save you money on a monthly basis, reducing your expenses without impacting your daily commute. Plus, you won't have to worry about maintenance expenses like oil changes in order to keep your ride's motor in top-notch condition.   

3. Convenient Parking

Parking can be a challenge at the office or as you go about doing your errands. That said, more and more businesses are giving priority to electric vehicles and e-bikes. 

You'll be able to find a safe place to park—and perhaps even charge your ride—that's closer to the entrance of many buildings and shopping centers. In comparison to a car or even a traditional motorcycle, parking stress will be significantly eliminated, and you may find yourself not having to pay for parking in certain lots. 

4. Reduce Traffic

As more people choose electric bikes as a primary mode of transportation, especially in bigger cities, the number of cars on the road has the potential to significantly decrease. By going this route, you'll reduce traffic in your community, creating a nicer commuting experience for the drivers in your area. Less traffic means fewer emissions, too.
