The biking industry is getting in the electric swing of things with E-Bikes on the rise. Already extremely popular in countries around Asia and Europe, the electric bicycle craze is finally hitting the United States. Just imagine if your bicycle had a battery and motor to propel you up hills and allow you to ride longer distances. Well, consider this dream a reality with the emergence of electric bikes!
Here are three of the top reasons that E-Bikes are making a massive impact on the cycling world and transportation industry:
Getting People Out of Cars
E-Bikes are motivating people to see cycling as a real commute option in a way that traditional bicycles may have been missing. People with long commutes felt cycling to work was a non-option, but E-Bikes allow people to ride longer distances more easily. This has been a big positive change in the transportation industry, which is the biggest contributor of carbon emissions in the United States. E-Bikes take a lot of pressure off of cars and are leading to even more positive outcomes than electric cars could.
Taking Barriers Away from Cycling
There have always been silent prerequisites to being a cyclist. These factors would unknowingly place barriers in front of people with health concerns and adults of an older age. E-Bikes are chipping away at these obstacles by making riding more manageable for people not of perfect physical health. Riding up hills and over terrain more easily is opening doors and creating a more accessible world of biking.
The Transit Industry's Electric-Bound Momentum
While electric cars are on the rise, E-Bikes and electric public transit are still substantially better for the environment when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions. Creating even more electric transportation options is a huge strength of the E-Bike industry. They are surely much less expensive than buying an electric car, and are even beginning to replace the notion of purchasing a second car for families and working professionals.
We’re feeling good about the E-Bike industry, and seeing it continue to grow is promising. Watching a green transportation mode climb in popularity as quickly as electric bikes is exactly what we need to continue making the future greener and cleaner!

The Rideshare Company is always looking for sustainable and smart commute options. One that we love to talk about is biking to and from work to maintain a healthy lifestyle and minimize the number of cars on the road.
It comes as a surprise to many how physically demanding it is to ride a bicycle as your means of transportation.
It is an obstacle that keeps people from seeing this as a reasonable way to commute. We have had our eye on an emerging sector of the bicycle industry that may solve a majority of the problems revolving around biking to work. Many have heard of them, but few have ridden one for themselves… E-Bikes!
Electric Bikes are quickly making their way to the top of bike culture, and even replacing cars in countries around the world.
What is an E-Bike?
E-Bikes are unique bicycles with a small electric motor that makes pedaling easier and can propel you up hills and terrain like no bike has done before. This mechanic takes away many of the inconveniences that keep people from riding bikes.
A huge plus-side to E-Bikes is the way they reduce the barrier to bike riding. Not every average person is conditioned to ride 5-10 miles to and from work. E-Bikes make it easy to cover these distances with the electric assist, building strength, endurance and confidence of riders.
While E-Bikes sell for high prices, people weigh the cost in comparison to owning a second car. It becomes well worth the investment when you take out monthly car payments, gas prices, and basic car maintenance.
If you’ve been weighing the pros and cons of getting a bicycle, add E-Bikes to your research. You will likely begin to see more of them as time goes on, along with an increase in safe bike lanes and routes all over cities around the country.
