The scooter or the electrically assisted bicycle is a very useful ecological and practical mode of transport. This two-wheeled vehicle can be discovered during test sessions offered to residents of certain French cities. These test periods allow people to try out electric bikes for everyday travel or for leisure. This guide presents the specificities of the electric bicycle as well as its numerous advantages.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ELECTRICALLY ASSISTED BICYCLE
The electrically assisted bicycle (EAB) or electric bike is a means of transportation similar to a bicycle. Its main specificity is the presence of a rechargeable battery and an auxiliary motor. The device is equipped with an electric assistance capable of multiplying the energy when pedaling. This feature provides cyclists with a good ease of movement and comfort. This everyday means of transportation is suitable for several types of terrain.
The electric bicycle is very popular with city dwellers because it is faster than other means of transportation. Indeed, cyclists who choose to invest in an E-bike can ride in the city at an average speed of 19 km/h. Due to the complex conditions of urban traffic, car drivers average 18 km/h. When taking the bus, the average speed is 17 km/h in an urban context.
VAE: LESS ECOLOGICAL AND ECONOMICAL TRANSPORTATION
The VAE is an environmentally friendly device. In addition to its materials and its ecological construction method, this means of transport, both tourist and functional, rides without pollutants or greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, by using an electric bicycle to go to work, to walk in the city or to do his shopping, the responsible cyclist reduces the pollution of the environment. Apart from the traditional bicycle, the electric model is the most economical means of transportation on the market. With a consumption of 1 kWh per 100 km, its energy consumption is 70 times more economical than a car and 8 times more than a scooter.
CHOOSE THE ELECTRIC BIKE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH
The principle of the electric bicycle is that it works in a similar way to a conventional bicycle. Thus, to ride, the cyclist must pedal. With the presence of an electric assistance capable of helping cyclists to strengthen the pedaling, this means of transportation requires less effort than a traditional bike. The usefulness of this technology is suitable for people who want to practice a moderate physical activity. The pedaling assistance requires less muscular and cardiac efforts. Thanks to the EAB, the cyclist will be able to cover long distances without too much effort. In addition, PRM and seniors can use it to exercise without too much effort.
