Often people ask me about electric bikes, as I do not considerate myself an expert, I am however an avid enthusiast. One of the most popular questions I am asked about electric bikes is how exactly I became involved with the electric bike scene. This, like most answers involving a hobby of passion can only be answered with telling the story from square one.

I was, and still am a devoted mountain biker. I started mountain biking in my teenage years and never stopped. After several years I really delved into the sport, riding nearly everyday. I then began racing, nothing series just for fun, but racing non-the-less. At this point other than my schooling, I was completing at a University, mountain biking was what my life revolved around. Until a very unfortunate day, I was on one of regular rides, which made me the opposite of cautious. I was cruising down a hill, looked back at my one of my riding friends to gloat and did not see a log that had fallen across the trail. Obviously at this point I wrecked, hard; in fact I broke my leg.

After breaking my leg, months of rehab ensued. During my stent in rehab I was told it would be well over a year before I could ride a mountain bike again. This was beyond saddening news. I brainstormed for days on how I could ride again sooner, and then it dawned on me to buy an electric bike!

Riding the electric bike helped me rehab quicker and get back to doing what I loved. Not only that, I found a new love. I still mountain bike frequently throughout the week but I also ride my electric bike nearly every day. I ride my electric to the store, to the beach, to work, to friend’s houses, any occasion when I would like to have fun, exercise some, but not necessarily pour the sweat. To me electric bikes are a great way to get around town, and supplement my exercise regimen for mountain biking. Electric bikes nz

Today, persons are exercising at nearly any age. While the older one gets, the
choices may appear to be limiting. One exercise choice for persons of any age
is bicycling.
In fact, electric cycling is an option that many persons entering their senior
years have chosen in keeping fit. Say you’ve reached your fourth decade or even
higher. You aren’t as fit as you once were, but you still want to work up a good
sweat and feel in control of things. There are still several options for exercise.
Among them is swimming, jogging, low-impact aerobics, and, yes, electric
biking. For the 40-year-old, or older, for example, electric biking becomes
a good exercise option, especially for persons with osteoarthritis of the knees.
And the best answer for a knee problem may be an electric
bike. The good news is that electric bikes come in many forms. For example,
there’s the folding bike.
It’s perhaps the most common electric bicycle that comes to your mind. It is so
practical. The good thing about folding e bikes is that they don’t require much
space.
So, if cycling is your thing, but age is a barrier, an electric bike may be the
answer. Workouts on electric bike are low-impact; yet enable the biker to burn
lots of calories.
