Electric Bikes: Ride into the Future of Electrified Transportation

shadow of a bicycleElectric bikes (e-bikes) are a trending technology combining a traditional bike with a battery and motor for instant propulsion. E-bikes propel to speeds just twice as fast as a strictly manually pedaled bicycle and vary in distances per charge from the battery pack. The lithium-ion battery cells and the controller systems have evolved exponentially in the twenty-first century to accommodate the rider’s needs of longevity and durability for mobile power consumption. These specific type of bikes are transforming how people travel on a daily basis in urban and even rural communities. Metropolitan populations around the globe are growing rapidly where automotive traffic is becoming more congested, therefore making it more difficult traveling to destinations in a timely manner. Unsurprisingly, the automotive exhaust is polluting the air we breathe and sitting inactively in automobiles contributes to weight gain. Many individuals are utilizing e-bikes as an alternative mode for their transportation needs due to ridership affordability, travel time, health reasons, and environmental benefits. Sirius E-Bikes, an electric bike shop and servicer, delivers customers a sustainable mode of transportation by providing efficient travel routes with the purchase of their new e-bike to significantly reduce their personal carbon footprint, improve their health, and reinvent their ideals of how battery-power on two wheels can benefit them for future travel.
