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.

• 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.

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.
