Are electric bikes worth choosing over a car?

Until recently, the car was synonymous with mobility. Electric bikes, however, have proven to be a real game changer that millions of people of all ages around the world have already chosen. Find out why they made that decision and why it’s better to choose an e-bike over a car.

You will be in better physical condition

Lack of exercise is the main cause of many of the diseases we used to call civilisation diseases. The truth is that the vast majority of us sit for most of the day. At work, in front of the TV and… while driving.

Buying an electric bicycle will change your habits. You will discover the joy of riding and other advantages of this decision, which we write about later in this article, but above all, you will start moving for the benefit of your health. You will improve your fitness, relieve tension and reduce stress. These are good enough reasons to buy an e-bike instead of a car. However, you can get to know more.

Discover new routes and places

When you drive a car, you are limited to set routes. On an electric bike, you will discover new routes and places that are unnoticeable or inaccessible from the perspective of street traffic. Who knows what consequences this will have? Perhaps you will just marvel at your city, or maybe you will be inspired or meet someone who will change your life? One thing is for sure: in a car you will never experience this.

Save on fuel and tolls

Fuel prices are not the only concerns of a car owner. Insurance policies, technical inspections, current and emergency repairs – these are all expenses you will avoid by choosing an electric bike instead of a car.

You can use some of this money, for example, to buy a new battery for your electric bike and spend the rest on pleasures or a gift for a loved one. Over the course of a year, this can be a budget of up to several thousand zloty, so buying an e-bike will quickly pay for itself.

Get there without traffic jams

Did you know that in one year we spend up to 100 hours standing in traffic jams? And how many of them are filled with stress and tension? Riding an electric bicycle allows you to avoid traffic jams. Even if it does not shorten your commuting time, it will at least allow you to spend it more pleasantly and calmly.

Easier parking

Cities, and especially city centres, are completely congested, so finding a free parking space sometimes borders on the miraculous. And not everyone knows how to use such narrow spaces efficiently. You will stop worrying about this when you buy an electric bicycle. You can choose a lightweight model which folds up in no time, and when folded is so small that it can even fit next to a company desk.

You will reduce emissions

It is true that most air pollution is emitted by industry and heavy road transport. So by choosing an electric bicycle, you will reduce it only slightly, but nevertheless. It will be your conscious contribution to reducing CO2, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. You will be able to ask your friends, with a twinkle in your eye, how they are taking care of our air.

Rediscovering freedom

Do you remember the feeling you had when you first rode your bike? You can rediscover them. The wind in your hair (or at least where it used to grow), the warmth of the sun’s rays on your skin, the feeling of lightness and absolute control over your choices – not even a convertible can give you the freedom that an electric bike can. I think you already know what to choose and why, don’t you?
