Electric motor bikes (EMB) are three-wheeled motorcycles powered by batteries. While their range may not match that of gas-powered bikes, EVs make for great fun riding!
The Energica Ego is a stunning bike with 150 horsepower and 168 lb-ft of torque – not road legal but still capable of getting you around quickly and comfortably.
Cost-Effective
One of the main benefits of electric motor bikes is that they do not need to be refuelled with gas; this represents an incredible saving as you don’t have to constantly worry about finding the appropriate type of fuel for your ride.
An electric motor bike requires less maintenance to keep running smoothly, as you won’t have to check or change air filters, spark plugs or clutch fluid. All that needs doing is checking tyre pressure and brake hydraulic fluid levels – this should last longer since its motor does much of the braking for you!
Electric motor bikes are fantastic ways to help the environment as they do not produce any carbon emissions that damage our natural surroundings and contribute to global warming. Not only are they noiseless; you can ride them first thing in the morning without disturbing anyone in the neighbourhood! Furthermore, you can charge them using renewable energy – a much better solution than fossil fuels!
Less Emissions
E-bikes produce minimal pollution during their manufacture and operation, in comparison with cars which release significant emissions through their engines and exhaust. Furthermore, unlike standard bicycles which need gasoline or oil to run, e-bikes do not rely on fossil fuels such as petrol for powering their batteries – their batteries can even be charged with electricity generated from renewable resources!
Electric bikes allow riders to travel further and faster without wearing out their muscles, as well as reduce car trips that could otherwise take place through walking or cycling. This helps lower traffic congestion and air pollution.
Millions of motorcycles operate as taxis or “boda bodas” across low and middle income countries, and an electric version could dramatically decrease local pollution. When compared with vehicles powered by gasoline, electric bikes emit half the amount of CO2 emissions per trip compared to their gasoline-powered counterparts; rural areas will see the greatest benefits as these bikes save an average of 750 kilograms annually!
More Convenient
Electric motor bikes are designed to make riding simpler. Without oil, spark plugs, or air filters to maintain, their lifespan can exceed 20 years before needing replacement.
Electric bikes use regenerative braking to recharge their batteries as they ride, making them more suitable for city riding as they can cover long distances on just one charge.
Ebikes provide another convenient benefit in that riders can select how much effort to put into pedaling; this feature can help those who may feel intimidated or unconfident to exercise alone find some relief by choosing their desired level of pedaling difficulty. Ebikes provide great exercise opportunities when used without pedaling alone! This feature makes exercising enjoyable, too!
As commuters know, an ebike with battery capability can be as convenient as having gas in their garage – just charge it overnight at home and you won’t need to worry about rising fuel prices or finding gas stations (unless of course you forget! ). With ranges up to 200 miles and battery capacity of 18 AHrs available from one single charge point – charging an ebike doesn’t need to be stressful!
Better for the Environment
Traditional motorcycle combustion engines emit harmful pollutants that pollute the environment, potentially leading to respiratory illnesses and depleting earth’s ozone layer. Electric motor bikes help alleviate such environmental issues by not producing emissions.
Lithium ion batteries require less raw materials for production compared to lead acid batteries, and when you decide it’s time to part ways with your e-bike you can recycle rather than discard.
Charge your e-bike during off-peak hours when electricity consumption is at its lowest – this helps ensure you do not place undue strain on the power grid and contributes to preventing blackouts or brownouts.
