An Innovation in Transportation
  • Benefits to Our World
  • Electric bicycles offer a green solution to
    transportation. These bikes are not emitting
    noxious fumes which harm the ozone layer and
    create problems in our environment. They are
    energy efficient and convenient.
  • Benefits to You
  • Electric bicycles have many wonderful benefits
    for us. With these bikes, we have a motorized
    mode of transportation which does not need any
    fuel. This also means more money in your pocket.
    These bikes are also ideal for riding on
    sidewalks and bike trails. They are the ideal
    choice for traveling to work, getting around
    campus, or just exploring the great outdoors.
    Again, the convenience is astounding.
  • Electric Bike Requirements
  • Electric bicycles are a great new thing, but
    there are some requirements to enjoying them on
    the road. The biggest requirement is age. Before
    you hop on that bike, take a look at the Canadian
    Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations website. The age
    requirements vary from province to province. For
    example, in Alberta, the minimum age requirement
    is 12 years old while in Quebec you will need to
    be 18 years of age to legally cycle down the
    street on an electric bike. It is important to
    know the laws before investing in an electric
    bicycle.

Stay in Shape and Help the Planet
  • New Options
  • For bicyclists looking for a greener solution to
    their daily commute to work, there is now a wide
    range of electric bicycles on the market to
    choose from. This means a better fit for each
    rider and an affordable price range that will
    encourage new customers to purchase their first
    electric bicycle. For those who have a bike that
    they love but would also like the convenience of
    going electric, many shops offer conversion kits.
    These kits simply attach to an existing bicycle
    and turn it into a motorized one.
  • Safety
  • Some bicyclists might be hesitant making the
    switch to an electric bicycle, but since they can
    go anywhere a conventional bike can go, they are
    just as safe to ride. With top speeds of up to 28
    mph, they are faster than non-powered bicycles,
    but they can also be used without the motor. Many
    riders prefer only engaging the motor to assist
    them when climbing hills, fighting the wind, or
    simply for brief breaks on a long commute.

Stay in Shape and Help the Planet
  • Green Power
  • Electric bicycles are a great option for anyone
    looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Many
    newer models have USB charging capabilities and
    are fully charged in as little as 3 hours. Once
    fully charged, the motorized bike can travel up
    to 20 miles on a single charge. Electric bike
    riders are saving time, money and the environment
    with no trips to the gas station, zero emissions
    and by removing vehicles from crowded city
    streets. Once at work, there is no circling the
    block looking for parking, paying for parking, or
    other daily hassles because these bikes can be
    locked outside with other bicycles and are
    portable enough to be brought inside to charge
    during work hours, so that they are ready to
    bring you home at the end of the day.
  • Service
  • Since they are a relatively new technology,
    buyers might be uncertain about repairs and
    service to their new electric bicycles. Luckily,
    most shops that specialize in selling e-bikes
    also provide in-house service and repair. Because
    of a simple design, there are not too many parts
    to repair, this means faster turnaround and
    getting the rider back on the road.

What are electronic bikes and are they the new
bikes of the future?
  • An E-bike is basically just like a bike, but it
    provides speed through electricity. It provides
    much more speed than anyone can get using just
    leg power. Dont worry though! You still pedal on
    the bikes and get your cardiovascular exercise.
    Many of the models come with throttle mode. This
    mode assists you while going uphill or against
    heavy winds. The platform is low to the ground on
    these scooters which make them very simple to get
    on. Generally, like most bikes, the e-bike weighs
    less than 40 pounds. The bikes have a foldable
    frame, however, which can allow for simple
    transportation of the bikes.
  • E-bike, E-scooter, or Car?
  • Go green! An e-bike can reduce your impact on the
    environment by reducing your carbon footprint. It
    is also a lot cheaper than a car is.
    Transportation can become simpler by using these
    scooters because they allow you to work your way
    through crowded cities and they can be taken on
    public transportation. This can promote many more
    ways to travel!
  • Electric scooters are also allowed on sidewalks,
    so you can avoid heavy, dangerous traffic.
    Electric scooters have lower maximum speed than
    e-bikes which can be safer. The slim design of an
    e-scooter makes them easy to maneuver around
    objects on sidewalks. A magnum e-bikes top speed
    is 28 mph. Whereas, a cars average speed in the
    city is 18 mph.

The Scooter A Modern Alternative to Driving
  • Cost is No Barrier
  • Of all the alternate forms of travel available
    these days, an electric scooter is one of the
    most affordable. Less expensive than electric
    cars and bikes, electric scooters allow anyone
    ownership with no or minimal licensing
    requirements. Because they are electric, electric
    scooter users will save money on fuel while they
    are reducing their carbon footprint.
  • Ease of Use
  • Non-motorized scooters have been around for
    decades as a fun alternative for kids from
    bicycles. Learning to ride a scooter is easy for
    kids as well as adults. There is almost nothing
    to an electric scooters handlebars, deck, and
    wheels, so there is little to maintain, and since
    the brakes and accelerator are mounted on the
    handlebars, they are easy to reach for any age
    user. Most electric models of scooters also allow
    use with or without the motor, so parents can let
    the kids play on the scooter without the motor
    running if they prefer. Some models even come
    with lights on the back, for added safety. Wide,
    pneumatic tires offer a smooth ride with less
    worry about a flat tire. These tires also allow
    for riding on almost any surface.
  • Convenience
  • Driving in a city means not only navigating
    traffic but also finding parking. Electric
    scooters allow riders to travel by road, but
    because they are light enough to carry or push,
    they can be taken across sidewalks or into
    subways. This allows the scooter commuter more
    flexibility when deciding how to get to school,
    work, or wherever they want to go. Once they
    reach their destination, there is no need to
    worry about paying for parking or finding a
    parking space.

Electric Bicycles The Only Electric-Powered Bike
Keeping its Riders Physically Fit
  • What Exactly are Electric Bicycles?
  • Electric bicycles are bikes first. They look just
    like the bikes that 10-year-old kids ride,
    complete with pedals and gears, shifters and a
    chain drive, all situated on a bike frame.
    However, e-bikes have batteries and electric
    motors to help propel them forward, for instance,
    if a cyclist gets tired of manual pedal
    propulsion going uphill or needs some extra
    momentum. Electric bicycles can take the rider a
    further distance for a, sometimes, longer
    duration, than their purely pedal-powered
    cousins.
  • Electric Bicycle Benefits
  • Electric bicycles are quiet
  • E-bike batteries are very inexpensive to charge
  • They can be parked in the same places as
    bicycles, including on racks and in garages
    free of charge
  • Electric bicycles keep riders physically fit
  • E-bikes are lightweight
  • No registration or insurance fees are due
  • Safer than their motorcycle cousins
  • Easily mounted on an automobiles bike rack for
    transport to other areas
  • Electric bicycles are rideable on biking trails
    and lanes

Electric Bicycle Maintenance, Part DIY and Part
Pro
  • Cleaning the chain
  • The easiest method is to purchase a chain
    cleaner/degreaser and follow the products
    directions.
  • Chain tension adjustments
  • A loose chain means skipped gears. After placing
    the e-bike on a repair stand, turn the barrel
    adjuster and test by turning the pedal and
    shifting. Make sure the chain does not skip two
    cogs. If it does, adjust accordingly.
  • Brake adjustments
  • If your brake lever reaches the handlebars when
    pressed, turn the brake adjuster on the brake
    caliper until you reach the right amount of
    tension.

Electric Bicycle Maintenance, Part DIY and Part
Pro
  • Inflating the tire(s)
  • Tire pressure is highly customizable, depending
    upon the weight of the rider, type of terrain,
    weather, tire volume and the width of the rim.
    The best thing to do is to get a small pressure
    gauge which is portable and play around with tire
    pressure until it feels right.
  • Electric Bicycle Upkeep for Professional
    Mechanics
  • Electric bicycles with technologically advanced
    computer systems, batteries and throttles are
    best left to the experts for servicing during
    tune-ups. These professionals have special
    diagnostic tools to diagnose, tune-up and fix
    certain maintenance items competently. On some
    models, the computers are even locked, and a
    professional must be the one to perform the
    servicing. Generally speaking, advanced knowledge
    and specific tools are needed to tune-up and
    service electric bicycles well.

How You Can Change Your Life by Purchasing an
Electric Scooter
  • Cost Effective and Energy Efficient
  • Electric scooters offer the same benefits of a
    bicycle, without the physical strain or potential
    danger. They can save you thousands of dollars
    spent on gas over time, compared to a car, and
    could even cut down your daily commute if you
    live in a traffic-dense area. However, unlike a
    traditional bicycle, electric scooters are
    motorized, saving you from having to break a
    sweat getting from point a to point b. No one
    wants to show up to work with sweat stains in his
    or her armpits. By investing in an electric
    scooter, you can also help save the planet,
    without having to smell like old gym socks for
    the rest of the day.
  • Compact and Durable
  • Another huge benefit of owning an electric
    scooter is that they are built to last but easy
    to transport. Electric scooters are known for
    being sturdy because they have such a simple
    structure. Yet, because of this simple structure,
    they are easy to break down and transport. Simply
    fold it up and carry it with you, wherever you
    may be going, or stash it away until later.
    Electric scooters are made for versatility, and
    they are perfect for anyone who lives an active
    lifestyle.

12
How You Can Change Your Life by Purchasing an
Electric Scooter
  • Also, because they are so compact, you can easily
    ride an electric scooter down a sidewalk on a
    busy road. No need to risk your life traveling
    along the shoulder or in traffic. With an
    electric scooter, you can easily navigate any
    environment.
  • Fun for the Whole Family
  • Electric scooters are for everyone! In addition
    to being a practical mode of transportation, they
    are also just plain fun to ride. Take the kids to
    the park or just around the block. Electric
    scooters are a great way to include the whole
    family in outings and encourage kids to be
    outside. Obviously, you must pay attention to
    safety regulations, especially with younger
    children. However, an electric scooter can be a
    fun, safe alternative to a bike or ATV, that is
    great for all ages.

The Electric Slide Are Electric Scooters the Way
to Go?
  • Feel the Electricity
  • Electric scooters are an undeniable alternative.
    It is not dangerous, but it will get your kids
    moving. It is exciting, and that excitement
    lasts. It is durable, and it is not easy to
    break. Other items such as an iPad or iPhone can
    be broken. One accident and there goes 800 down
    the drain. You do not have to worry about
    breaking an electric scooter if dropped.
  • Sneak Peek
  • Electric scooters give your kids a sneak peek
    into adult transportation. They allow children to
    imagine themselves as adults with more freedom.
    It is not the real thing, but it is close enough
    to keep them busy. They can use it anywhere, and
    it is safe to travel. So, there are endless
    possibilities for how your kids can use them.
  • The Great Outdoors
  • Electric scooters have one other unintended
    benefit. They get kids moving and outside without
    the kids feeling like they are exercising. It
    still encourages outside activity and exercise
    without forcing the issue. Childrens obesity
    rates are the highest they have ever been, so
    anything which slows this process is a win for
    childrens health.
