What are the advantages of an e-bike over a conventional bicycle?

>>In recent years, the use of e-bikes has skyrocketed - and it continues!<<

The fact that hundreds of thousands of people in Germany use e-bikes has now become the norm. They are an indispensable part of everyday use and actively influence the cityscape. While many Germans are increasingly turning to e-bikes, the proportion of cyclists who use a simple vehicle seems to be gradually disappearing. It is obvious that the advantages associated with e-bikes are responsible for this trend.

A large proportion of Germans are now relying on the new e-bike mobility

With a Pedelec, S-Pedelec or E-Bike (we explain the difference here) you get a noticeable dynamic and at the same time an independence that cannot be achieved with a normal bike. The topography becomes less relevant. Extreme mountains or gradients no longer play a significant role.

With an e-bike, the cyclist hardly notices the effort. This means that the days of long breaks, insurmountable distances or insurmountable climbs are over. You experience a noticeable and enormous relief. The dreaded headwind is also no longer an issue.

If you still feel like you're riding a normal bike, you can simply pedal away from the headwind with an e-bike. The tailwind is a constant and loyal companion. Thanks to large battery capacities ( read here), long distances of up to 120 km are easy to cover. Long bike tours are becoming attractive again.

Now let’s look at other advantages of an e-bike

The use of e-bikes also has a positive effect on health: the cyclist is always in the ideal pulse range, stimulates the cardiovascular system, protects the joints and still activates the muscles. It is like a personal trainer who is always with you and looks after you.

The e-bike also helps to put the rider's body weight into perspective and allows you to always ride in the optimal pulse range for burning calories. Current studies show that cyclists have more fun cycling with an e-bike. With a conventional bike you still have to struggle and quickly reach your limit.

You can enjoy the tour with the e-bike and still get your health back on track. This takes you to a whole new level of fun and health.

Even couples benefit from the newfound e-mobility

Leisure activities are changing. Couples who are not equally fit have the opportunity to get on a bike together using an e-bike - this way they can enjoy time together at the same pace. This means they can have more fun together.

The environmental aspect - the car can stay in the garage - because the e-bike can also cover longer distances. Compared to a normal bicycle, the rider of an e-bike is finding more and more enjoyment in the physical exercise.

The e-bike in the future

So far, around 1.5 million Germans have already used e-bikes and are enjoying their advantages and benefits. In the long term, everyone who enjoys cycling will switch to e-bikes. Because once you have enjoyed the benefits of e-mobility, you will no longer want to do without it and will only use e-bikes to get around.

With an e-bike you have many advantages and experience incredible independence and dynamism:

• Slopes and mountains are easily overcome – they are virtually no longer noticeable
• The headwind is no longer a problem
• Thanks to large battery capacities, you can cover long distances of up to 120 km without any problems
• You always train your pulse, your cardiovascular system, muscles and joints in the optimal range. This is how you get your fitness going
• You reduce and relativize your weight by always cycling in the correct pulse range for calorie burning
• Thanks to recent studies, it has been proven that riding an e-bike is much more enjoyable – three times as much!
• Even couples with unequal training levels have more fun driving because neither of them outruns the other
• You'll protect the environment without breaking a sweat, because you can leave your car in the garage more often - you can even make trips to the office, to the shops or to visit friends with ease!

What is generally worth knowing about e-bikes

E-bikes are available in many different designs and price ranges. Before you decide on a specific model, you should consider which type of e-bike meets your expectations and requirements. Ask yourself questions like: Do you want to ride mainly on asphalt or also on field and forest paths? How often will you use the e-bike? And how far do you want to ride?

In this context, it is useful to know the wide range of uses for e-bikes. E-bikes can be used on a variety of surfaces, including conventional roads and cycle paths. They also perform well on gravel and dirt roads. Due to their lightweight construction and large tires, e-bikes are generally very maneuverable and can also handle uneven terrain.

Another important factor when choosing an e-bike is the battery capacity. Depending on the model, the range of an e-bike can vary between 25 and 100 km. So if you want to use the e-bike frequently and for longer tours, a model with a correspondingly longer range is advisable.

An advantage of using e-bikes in the city: you can also park e-bikes for free in many cities and municipalities, which not only saves time but also money.
