An electric bicycle is powered by a battery and is preferred and selected by more and more people today. Many people would like to choose electric bicycles instead of ordinary bicycles or cars because electric bicycles are environmentally friendly and have many advantages. However, every coin has two sides. Electric bikes also have some disadvantages.

Advantage

Electric bikes have many advantages and in this article I want to mention some of them.

  • It can help you save money.

    • Imagine that if you have an electric bike, you will not need to buy expensive gas or gasoline and a large garage to park your car. Also, you do not need to spend money on car repairs and other services. All of this can save you a lot of money. In general, an electric bike is very cheap compared to cars.

  • You won’t sweat when riding it.

    • When riding an electric bike, you won’t have to exert much effort. That way you won’t be sweaty when you get to your destination. This advantage can be more evident when summer arrives or when you need to travel a lot.

  • It is quiet and safe.

    • Unlike cars and scooters that have noisy motors, the electric cycle gives you a quiet environment because the motor is almost silent. In addition, it can also offer you a controlled and safe driving experience.

Disadvantages

  • battery costs

    • We all know that electric cycles are powered by batteries and all batteries have shelf life. So when the bike battery gets old, we should buy a new one. However, old batteries pollute the environment a lot and the costs of new batteries can be high.

  • heavy to carry

    • An electric bike is usually heavy and some cheaper ones can be heavier because they use lead acid batteries. So if the battery dies on the way, you will find it difficult to pedal.

  • battery recharge

    • You need to recharge the battery daily or very often and it always takes several hours for the battery to fully recharge. So before you go anywhere you need to make sure the battery is fully charged first or you will have to pedal.

Although there are some downsides to electric bikes, the benefits far outweigh the downsides. There is no perfect vehicle and among all the vehicles, the electric bike is the most worthy. Don’t hesitate, choose an electric bike and change your way of life.
