Electric Bikes Help the Environment and Your Pocket

September 13, 2009 by · Leave a Comment 

One of the primary sources of air pollution in the United States is gas-powered cars. China and Japan adopted the use of electric bicycles early on to counter such pollution, while Western markets were sceptical about such choices. However, it didn’t take that long for European nations to pick out these eco-friendly bikes, while the market in the US is now slowing improving.

With the increase of global oil prices, the choice of an electric bike is more cost effective. Besides the cost factor attributing to its popularity, these bikes offer reduced usage of gasoline, cheap purchase prices and faster riding speeds. Switching to an electric bicycle can help save costs, while riding an electric bike to work beats cycling twenty miles or so. Using a car for recurrent trips between home and office, to run errands, commute between your home and then town isn’t always possible if you are forced to be cost conscious, especially in present economic conditions. If you are environmentally conscious, then this is the perfect ‘painless’ purchase to make.

With the recent trend to ‘Go Green’, the electric bicycle could potentially be huge in the United States. if stores near you don’t offer electric bikes, they can be easily purchased online and shipped to your address. Offering eco friendliness and cost efficiency, the electric bike takes out the effort of pedalling mile after mile. Get yourself an electric bike, save up some money, save precious time spent on the road and most importantly help save the environment.
