Why an Electric Cycle?

Pedal Power Meets Electric Excitement!

Did you know that cycling offers a range of advantages, including improved cardiovascular health, increased endurance, enhanced strength, and ease of maintenance?

While cycling offers all these,  e-cycling does this and much more. You may wonder how.

Electric cycles are one of the most effective and fun ways to stay fit. But don’t just take our word for it—research shows that e-cycle users ride 75% more often than regular cyclists.

Today, we delve into the world of e-cycling, so buckle up (or pedal up) because we're about to take you on an electrifying journey! Let’s take it from the top.

What is an Electric Cycle?

Take an ordinary cycle, give it a shot of espresso, and a turbo boost, and you have an e-cycle.

Electric cycles are like regular bicycles, but they have an electric motor and battery. The motor accelerates the cycle without pedalling, just like a bike.

E-cycles also have three basic riding modes — mechanical, pedal-assist, and throttle. EMotorad offers two more - walk and cruise modes, elevating e-cycles to the next level.

With a maximum speed of up to 25 kmph on the throttle, your e-cycle can go even faster with pedal assist.

Herein comes the question: What makes an electric cycle?

Key Features of Electric Cycles

  • Battery: These are the heart of the e-cycle, which gives it an electric boost. Lithium-ion batteries help it run smoothly for a long time. The better the battery, the longer it will run. The best type of battery in an e-cycle is the removable one, and all EMotorad e-cycles (except X3) come with easy-detachable batteries for portability and charging. Removable batteries are usually preferred as they are easier to charge, detect in case of anomalies, and even easier to replace or upgrade.

  • Motor: The rear hub motor is the powerhouse that gives your e-cycle the boost to conquer the uphill climbs.

  • Controller: The controller converts direct current into alternating current, allowing the motor to spin and move the bike.
  • Display: Most e-cycles come with a display that shows the range, battery percentage, the distance travelled and the riding mode. Some latest e-cycles like T-rex+ by EMotorad even have an integrated display, a one-of-a-kind feature in the current market.

Why an Electric Cycle?

Why not, we ask?

At this time and age, it’s possibly the best type of vehicle to go around. But since you need a little more convincing, here’s why hopping on an electric cycle is the best thing you can do for yourself—

  1. Eco-Friendly Fun: If you’re environmentally conscious, then e-cycles are the way to go. They are almost entirely eco-friendly. Research suggests e-bikes consume 90% less energy and generate 86–95% fewer pollutants than private cars.
  2. Save Those Pennies: E-cycles are also pocket-friendly, allowing you to cover 100 kms in just Rs. 7. It runs on electricityzand the occasional maintenance, helping you save on diesel and petrol.
  3. Get Fit Without the Grit: E-cycles are the easiest way to seamlessly incorporate workout into your daily routine, letting you burn calories of 10K steps in 20 mins. Simply swap your daily commuter with an e-cycle and get your daily dose of cardio.
  4. Versatility at its Best: Be it the sleeky city rides, the sturdy mountainous sidekick, or the all-terrain bicycles, e-cycles come in every shape and form to suit your adventure cravings.
  5. Speed Up Your Ride: Let’s face it! You want more than just 10 mph of pedal speed without doing all the work. With electric cycles, you can easily throttle up to 25 km/hr and go even higher with pedal assist.
  6. Low Maintenance, High Rewards: E-cycles are super low maintenance. All you need to take care of in regular maintenance is the battery, tyres, and brakes. Some EMotorad e-cycle frames come with a lifetime warranty, so you can rest easy.

More time riding, less time fixing—what’s not to love?

Fun Facts About Riding Electric Cycles

Were you aware that riding an electric bicycle is more than just enjoyable; it's also spectacularly beneficial?

Check out these amazing facts that make electric bicycles the coolest thing on two wheels!

  1. Brain Boost: Riding an electric bike is a workout for your brain as well as your body. Exercise reduces anxiety and improves mental clarity by increasing the production of powerful brain-soothing neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. An electric bike is practically a mental health day, every day.
  2. Make New Friends: Electric bikes are an excellent way to join a community of friendly, fun-loving people. With an e-cycle, you'll also be able to keep up with your fit cyclist friends in community rides without the struggle.
  3. Accessibility for All: Electric bikes are a game changer for folks who thought they could never go cycling! Whether because of old age, physical limitations, or lack of experience, e-bikes create accessibility to cycling for anyone and everyone.
  4. Burn Calories:Just because you have a motor, doesn't mean you won't get a workout. E-cycling burns calories and contributes to the phrase 'staying fit,' without the exhausted feeling after. It is also less physically demanding on joints and muscles, offering the opportunity to ride longer and further.
  5. Save the World, One Ride at a Time: Okay, maybe not the entire world, but riding an e-bike does mean you are taking part in reducing traffic congestion and emissions one ride at a time. Kind of flat-out heroic, isn’t it?

Find Your Perfect E-cycle

When it comes to electric cycle selection, the right fit is the secret to a comfortable and happy right.

Besides this, the fit is also measured based on your height, weight, and riding style. Let’s explore more!

Where Can You Ride an E-cycle?

Screenshot 2024-09-10 152525.png

The correct question is: Where can’t you ride an e-cycle?

Whether you're gliding through the city, or enjoying nature, there's no lack of places for an electric ride (except most indoor spaces, duh!):

  • Urban Jungle: You can pedal through city streets, bike lanes, and through traffic like a boss. But keep a lookout for the other vehicles, follow all safety rules, and make yourself as visible as possible.
  • Here are a few things to remember before your first electric adventure: Read More
  • Off–Road Trails: Adventure seekers can enjoy their e-cycle on marked trails that take them further into nature. With the right adventure ride, it’s easy-peasy. (P.S. Always carry a map and a compass for safety. Your phones may not work in the wild.)
  • Seaside Paths: That’s right! You can ride your e-cycle on the sandy beaches as well. However, make sure the tyres are just right for the ride - fat bike tyres, balloon tyres, and all-terrain tyres are the ideal choices, like the Doodle.
  • Countryside: Take your e-cycle and escape the city to the calm countryside. City bikes and all-terrain e-cycles will work perfectly for bumpy country roads.
  • Commuter Paths: You simply ride your e-cycle home and make your commute the best part of your daily routine. Find your adventure in the little things in life.

Depending on your need, you can go for any cycle in the  EMotorad X-factor range.

Find the Perfect E-cycle for Your Age

Though it may seem trivial, your age must be suitable for the e-cycle you ride.

The bike should complement your lifestyle and style to give you the confidence you need to conquer your day.

We have a rough draft for you to get your perfect e-cycle:

  • Kids (<13 years): It’s best to go for kid-range e-cycles that are appropriate for your height and has parental controls on the speed. They must also be lightweight and bright to suit the child.
  • Teens (13-19 years): Go for anything lightweight and fun— city commuter e-cycles or foldable bikes. They look cool and feel good - perfect for young riders.
  • Young Adults (20-30 years): Now that you have some freedom, feel free to venture into the wilderness. Mountain, Hybrid, or All-Terrain e-cycles are the best rides for you to enjoy adventurous rides.
  • Adult (31-50 years): If you are looking for an easy commute or a relaxed ride, either a hybrid or city commuter e-cycle is the ideal choice.
  • Seniors (51+ years): You are looking for a comfortable ride - something that will keep you happy and fit. Any simple e-cycle, without much tech manoeuvre (unless you’re tech savvy) will give you the support you desire.

What’s your age? ___
