Motorized electric bicycleA motorized electric bicycle is a great alternative to a traditional bicycle. It gives you the option of using the motor along with your own pedal power. It’s a great way to ease back into exercise, or you can use this as your alternative to traditional transportation. You not only get your exercise in, but this is 100% electric which means it has zero emissions. With a motorized electric bicycle costing just pennies a day to charge, it makes it economical too. They also come in many different styles and some can fold down which is great if you don’t have much room to store it. The average electric bicycle tops out at 20 MPH on motor power only. Keeping the “top out” speed at 20MPH, in most states, makes it so you don’t have to register, insure the bike or need a license or permit to operate it. The distance is from 20-25 miles per charge and farther with the power assist pedaling. Maximum rider weight for most bikes is 350 pounds. The speed and distance will vary on the weight of the rider and the terrain that you encounter. Most bikes come with a 24 to 36 volt battery. Many bikes offer three types of riding power. You can pedal without power, use strictly motor power, or travel by pedaling with a power assist. Many people look at electric bikes as just a form of transportation, but that’s not true anymore. It’s a great form of exercise, if you use your pedal power, it’s also a great way to socialize and enjoy the outdoors with friends. We can’t forget that it’s great for the environment. All being said, it’s great for you and the environment!
