Reasons Why An E-Bike is the New Essential Item for Women All Over the World

Ladies, there is a new item that you have to put on your must-have list. We know, you already have a full list that just never seems to be growing. From the latest Mac lipstick to the new rose gold headphones, the list is just endless. 

But, we have found a great new addition to your gadget collection that we simply love and we just had to share it with you. We took a look at the new electric bikes, also known as e-bikes, and it was love at first sight. Stick with us, there is a good reason why these bikes landed on our essential items list. 

Like many, we have really been struggling with lockdown and quarantining, and when we came across these nifty little bikes, it was the perfect answer to start shaking off those cabin fever cobwebs and getting some sun on our faces. 

So, what is so great about these bikes you ask? Well, we thought we would tell you a bit more and let you make your mind up for yourself. But trust us, by the end of the article, you too will become a fully-fledged e-bike convert! 

They Are Super Convenient 

One of the biggest challenges about having a bike in this day and age is that they are not incredibly convenient to store at home. You either need a garage or a place at home where you can keep your bike when you are not using it. With a folding electric bike, this is certainly not the case.

Not only can you easily fold up and store it at home, but you can carry it to your car, fit it in the backseats and easily transport it to where you want to ride. There is no need for you to buy a bike rack or any type of home storage solution. 

They are also light, which just really adds to their appeal. You don’t have to struggle with an oversized, heavy bike every time you want to go for a ride. They weigh an average of 41-50 lbs, which is around 18-22 kgs. This is around the amount of baggage you are allowed on a plane, and we know how we can push that limit when we want to! 

It Will Get You Outdoors

One of the best ways to get yourself motivated to start a new hobby or start exercising is by investing in it. So, just like buying a yoga mat or a fitness watch, you will want to make it worth the money spent and you have a reason to do it. The same goes for this, investing a bike will motivate you to get outdoors and start pedaling. 

You will be able to explore your neighborhoods, find new spots that you haven’t seen before, or even take the bike with you on a road trip to a beauty spot. You can also use it to get yourself to work or to pick up groceries if you live near the store. 

There are a wide variety of bikes to choose from, depending on your interests and needs. So, if you are not sold on the folding bike, you can choose the mountain bike or cruiser. A fat tire bike is also a great option if you really want to get out on a sunny day. You can ride it on a sandy beach, up and down mountains, and even in the snow. It is also great for tar and paved surfaces and makes a good all-round toy. 

You Don’t Have To Be Gym Ready

Is that summer body just not there yet? We totally get it! Lockdown has not been kind to our waistlines either. This is why we fell in love with the electric bike. 

You don’t have to be super fit to get one. You can pedal for as long as you are comfortable with, but the electric motor will do the rest of the work for you, so you can really have a decent, relaxed ride without overexerting yourself. 

In saying that though, it is the perfect push you need to get you back into the fitness game. Although the bike does make use of the motor to run, you will have to do some work, so if you are anything like us, and just need that bit of motivation, here it is. 

The Cardio is Great for Your Mental Health 

Let’s face it, being locked indoors for the last few months has been tough on everyone. Some people are dealing with layoffs and looking for new jobs, while others are struggling in isolation by themselves. It’s been a rough few months. 

With restrictions slowly being lifted globally, psychologists are warning that people might face levels of anxiety with being faced by so many stimuli so quickly after being in isolation for a while. So, it has really been encouraged that everyone takes the first steps out of home slowly, and be very gentle with themselves. 

This is why having an electric bike could do wonders for you. Easing back into life could be that much easier if you have something like an e-bike for you to get out of the house on the sunny days and take a ride along the seafront, or around your neighborhood, or even up into the mountains. 

You Don’t Need to Blow Your Whole Budget

One of the last things we also loved about the bike was that it didn’t cost us an arm and a leg, and at the moment, that is really important. In fact, the range is so big that you can find something that will fit in with your needs specifically. 

If you are looking for something simple, without all the bells and whistles, there is an option available and it will only set you back around $1,000. Naturally, the more you want from the electric bike, the higher the cost. 

Wrapping Up

What you need to keep in mind is that this is an investment that will last you at least 20 years. So, this one-off purchase will give you hours and hours of entertainment for the next two decades. You will be able to take it on road trips with you, when you go camping and even to pick up groceries or go to work. You will soon start reaping the benefits, especially using it to go to work when you start saving on fuel, parking, or public transport. Have we convinced you yet?
