Cycling Advocates Say Electric Bikes Could Change The Way People Get Around Houston
There was a big cycling event in the med center, and they were talking about something which is common in other parts of the world but somewhat new to Houston. We met Robin Stallings at the Texas trials and active transportation conference.
That guy was excited to tell us the latest trends which are going on in the electric bicycle world. He said that people who do not like to pedal all the time have how the extra bit of juice which can help them make a big difference between using a car and a bike and this will promote electronic bikes.
You will need less space in order to travel, you will be able to park in most of the places and you will save a ton of money on gasoline. you will also save a good amount of car payments as well as insurance. We know that Electric bikes have been around for almost hundred years and the first patents which were related to the electric bike so work patented in the late 1800 and they have been and production for a good amount of time now.
It is expected there are tens of millions of Electric bikes in China and they are popular in Europe as well as other countries too. With the growing roads and the growing crowds, there is a push to get the people in Houston interested in the electronic bikes business.
The Expo
In an Expo which was related to Electric bikes at Rice University, we learned a lot more about those bikes. All the cyclist had the chance to try the new bikes on a track which was so close, with a couple of Hills so that the rider would be more into the adventure. There were different kinds of bikes including City bikes for commuters, mountain bikes, folding bikes and other kinds of bikes which do not take up a lot of space when compared to other means of transportation.
The bike dealer Mitchell said that Electric bikes sales have grown by around a 20 percent when compared to the past couple of years.
Michelle said, “People are looking at these as car replacements now, instead of getting into their car and driving to the grocery or whatnot, Your three-to-five mile jaunts, they’ll get on an e-bike and go enjoy themselves. They’re also good for exercise or recreation.”
Replacement
If you want to replace your car with something and get a workout, you will also be able to buy an electric cargo bike. Just as a heavy-duty bike which consists of a rock on the back and you can put whatever you want on it. You can use this bike to carry all your work equipment safely.
You will also be able to carry your kids on this bike. There are Areas where people have started moving their households by bicycle. Therefore, if you are thinking about the cost of some basic electronic bikes, they start around 1500 dollars with the high and models and they can go up to $10,000. If you are wondering how these bikes work, there is a small motor power by a battery which will help you travel the road using these kinds of bikes. Most of these bikes are similar to a car which is electrically based but there are some unique capabilities like recharging of the battery while pedaling.
Priebus said “You’re charging the battery pack from the electrical outlet and it takes three to six hours to charge the battery pack, For most electric bikes you’re getting between probably 20 and 35 miles of range, depending on how much pedal power you’re putting into it or how much electric motor you’re using. It really simulates what a bicycle is intended to be, as a relatively slow-speed two-wheeled vehicle, In general, that’s the really cool thing about an electric bike is that you don’t have to have a license or insurance or all the other things that go along with a moped or a motorcycle.”
