Health and Environmental Benefits of Riding an Electric Bicycle

Apply It! 

For individuals considering biking as an exercise or mode of active transport, encourage them to try an E-bike. Some cities provide E-bike kiosks for a small fee and some bicycle stores rent E-bikes. Sedentary individuals can use E-bikes as an entry into bicycle riding for health and fitness. The efforts may start low but they can increase effort over time.
