Electric Bike... The Best Inventions In Cycling World

Electric bikes are the latest and most important innovation for cycling, which is the passion of millions of men and women in Saudi Arabia and globally.

As the number of biking enthusiasts increases for various kinds of mountain, road, and hybrid bikes, electric bicycles (E-bikes) have been manufactured as a new bicycle category.

And it has succeeded in attracting more individuals who like to ride electric bicycles as a light, comfortable, and fast means of transportation that does not require much effort like the traditional bicycle.

Trek is one of the first companies to manufacture professional electric bicycles with high-quality accuracy and efficiency capabilities and components. And Wheels Est. is the first establishment to provide the latest Trek electric bikes in its branches and online store.

In this article, we will explore more about electric bikes, their advantages, and the difference between them and traditional ones.

What is an electric bike?

Electric bikes, or as they are also known, “e-bikes, are bicycles with additional features and capabilities, perhaps the most important of which is the electric motor that partially supports the bike when cycling.

The e-bike has a rechargeable battery that supplies the engine with energy and a control unit to balance the effort exerted by the cyclist with the electrical energy generated. As well, there is an electronic screen that shows the battery status, consumed energy, and remaining energy.

How does it work?

The e-bike works partly on battery power generated by the engine and the effort the cyclist exerts during cycling.

You can also operate the electric bicycle as a regular bicycle and completely abandon the engine and battery. And in this case, the cyclist needs to exert more effort than in the first case, in which the cyclist relies partially on battery energy.

Why is the e-bike more environmentally friendly?

The electric bike is the best friend of the environment because it is a fast and safe means of transportation and does not emit exhaust, thermal emissions, or carbon dioxide.

Riding an electric bike does not burn diesel, gasoline, or solar, like motorcycles, regular cars, or even electric cars, because the electronic bike (E-bike) depends on some electric energy that supports the cyclist’s effort while cycling.

Go Biking with E-Bike Advantages

Many advantages make many individuals buy an electric bike instead of a traditional bicycle; we will mention the most prominent of them in the coming lines.

The E-cycle requires less effort than the effort required by the cyclist in the case of biking with a regular one because the electric one contains a battery and a motor.
Therefore, the electric bicycle is suitable for all categories of cyclists, including professionals and beginners who feel fatigued while riding a regular bicycle.
E-bikes enable the cyclist to go cycling at higher speeds than on a traditional bicycle. The E bike depends on battery energy and the cyclist’s effort, not just the cyclist’s effort, as in regular bicycles.
You can turn the electric bicycle into a traditional one that depends 100% on the cyclist only by removing the battery from it.
Electric bikes are versatile and suitable for multiple purposes, including going to work, wandering, transportation within the city, biking over heights, and exploration outside the cities.

Why are E-bikes a better choice than motorcycles and cars for many people?

We cannot compare the E-bike to regular or electric cars when it comes to long-distance travel or when thinking about traveling out of town to another distant city. The comparison will be for cars that do not yet have a competitor in the field of travel and long trips.

But when we compare the electric bicycle with cars and motorcycles for transportation within the city or in its suburbs, the electric bikes will gain many advantages. We list some of them as follows:

Cars and motorcycles run on fuel, while electric bicycles run on batteries, electric power, and cyclist effort. They don’t require fuel.
Unlike a car or motorcycle, electronic cycling does not pollute the environment as it does not emit any heat emissions or toxic gasses such as carbon dioxide.
The electric bike is used as a means of transportation and exercise, as the individual does not have any sporting benefits when riding a motorcycle or a car.
The maintenance cost of an electric bicycle is much lower than that of cars and motorcycles.
The prices of e-bikes are affordable for many individuals and are low compared to the prices of cars and motorcycles.
The electric cycle is much lighter than a car or motorcycle, so it is easy to carry and move around.
To drive a car or motorcycle, one must have a driver’s license, while you can go on any electric bike without any driver’s license.
Driving a car or motorbike requires learning and mastering driving skills, which not all individuals master, while many individuals can get off the electric bicycle and master them easily.

Trek always manufactures unique bikes for millions of biking enthusiasts around the world. And as for the electric bike, Trek Corporation has released professional E-Bikes for all bicycle categories (mountain, road, and hybrid) with high-quality components for impressive performance.

As we always seek to spread the biking culture in Saudi Arabia and satisfy the individuals’ passion for cycling, we also provide the latest Trek E Bicycles (Allant +5, Domane +ALR, Powerfly7, Verve1) exclusively in the Wheels online store and Wheels branches.
