E-bikes for my daily cycling routine? 

Is it even worth the hype? 

Is it any good for cycling enthusiasts like us? 


We know, these are usually the questions that pop in your head when you think of riding an e-bike. You also might be wondering if e-bikes make us more healthy or lazy?

But what if we told you, it is way better (in every aspect) than a normal bike? Be it health benefits, cost-effective, eco-friendly, or otherwise. 

Well to cut to the chase, E-bikes are not all that bad, instead they are truly the future! We will answer all of your questions and concerns in detail shortly in this blog. But before we go ahead and do so, let’s see why e-bikes are even worth mentioning. 


What Is an E-Bike and How Does It Work?

E-bikes are the regular push bikes that you need to paddle manually. However, they do have an electric motor, battery, and sensors to assist you in paddling without putting intense effort as in a manual/normal bike. This makes a cyclist’s workout a bliss as it adds an instant push that works great when it comes to improving your average cycling speed bit by bit. 



Does Cycling on an E-Bike Means I am Compromising on My Work out? 

No! Why would you think so? Riding an e-bike does not mean you are compromising on your high-intensity cycling sessions or using it as a quick way to get the most out of your training, but it’s the other way round. 

When you get on an e-bike and start to paddle, that’s when the motors start to work making it a seamless experience for you as a cyclist. You will be paddling with the same intensity, you will be sweating the same amount and your muscles will be working hard, but unlike it’s going to be a smooth transition of conducting your workout even more conveniently. 


What Are the Benefits of Riding an Electric Bike?

Riding an electric bike is equivalent to riding any normal bike, but with much comfort and ease. So, the benefits associated with cycling regularly remain absolutely the same. But there’s a catch which will distinguish why it’s better to ride an e-bike and not your regular bike.



So here we go:


1. Reduces Stress & Anxiety 

Cycling on a daily basis whether its low or a high intensity workout leads to an inflow of positive and fulfilling thoughts. It keeps your mind engaged the whole time when you are cycling all your stress out. 

Riding gives you a feeling that you have been kind to yourself and your body and that takes away all the stress and anxiety you may have had an hour before the cycling ride. 


2. Helps You Get Fitter Faster 

E-bikes help you get fit faster by making your paddling experience smooth and effortless that automatically results in you spinning the wheels faster. And when you do that, you burn more calories in less time and also push your boundaries in ensuring you end up increasing your overall cycling speed. 


3. Work Great for Losing Weight 

If you have been trying forever to lose that extra chubbiness around your waist, it’s time that you switch or start cycling on an electric bicycle. This way you can paddle less but it still would be more impactful because of the preciseness of the motors that work with absolute comfort. You can ride for stretched hours without feeling lethargic which will eventually help you lose more calories and body fat. 


4. Commute on Your E-bike For School, College or Even Work Once A While 

E-bikes won’t require you to spend a bomb on petrol or diesel as they run on electric batteries. It will help the environment breathe because you won’t be a contributor for causing the pollution around the city as e-bikes are 100% eco-friendly. And last but not the least, the more you take cycling sessions seriously, the healthier you start to grow each day. 


5. Eliminates Several Serious and Potential Health Hazards 

Health is everything! And what better way than keeping all the illness at bay with just cycling 30 minutes every day. You can avoid risks such as diabetes, heart attacks, cancer etc only if you take out a few minutes from your busy schedule and go out for a quick spin on your e-bike. You can ride on a mellow way and still it can have a lasting impact. 



The Bottom Line

Don’t get us wrong, the normal bicycles get the job done as efficiently as any e-bike can ever do. In fact, we have a special place in our hearts for the bikes we have all trained on for years! However, e-bikes are only a dash faster, economical, eco-friendly, and come with greater health benefits. Plus, you get to enjoy the tech-savvy benefits associated with them as well.
