Why an Electric Bicycle?
Electric bicycles are a great alternative to driving a car for short errands and pleasure riding. Their environmentally friendly nature adds to their appeal. Electric bicycles are quite popular these days because they allow an individual to ride a bicycle with or without pedaling.

Electric bicycles are considered to be regular bikes for legislative purposes. They do not have to be registered as a motor vehicle and do not require you to buy insurance. They are practical, both for personal transit and transporting moderate loads. Factors such as improved batteries, decreasing traffic congestion, monetary benefits (cheaper than owning a car) and new bicycle infrastructure (bike lanes, bike racks, etc.) are attracting users. To meet the demand, many manufacturers offer e-bikes.
