Ever considered abandoning your car and using motorised pushbikes instead?
Here are 5 essential reasons why you should.
Carbon Footprint - Probably the most obvious reason about changing to a motorised pushbike would be the reduction in your carbon footprint. Think of the amount of times you are sat in your car, pumping fossil fuels out into the atmosphere, and just think how much you would save.
Cost- This brings me on to cost. If you used a motorised pushbike to get to work or even abandoned your car completely, how much money would you save? Think, no insurance, no gas, no MOT, no road tax and no parking costs. You would save a fortune. What about the cost of the bike? Well, they can be quite expensive items to buy but there is always the option of actually building your own. This may sound ludicrous, but you can convert you ordinary pedal bike into a 50mph speed machine. With the resources out there, it doesn't even take a technically minded person to do it. Yes you might say, this could be an expensive project, but think of the money you will save. You will never pay insurance, gas etc again.
Ride With Minimal Effort- Ordinary cycling is great but cycling in to a wind or the sight of a huge hill ahead of you can dampen the enthusiasm? When you have a motor easing the burden of pedalling then it all becomes a lot easier. So you can cycle further with less effort, thereby encouraging you to cycle further and keep fit. Think of it this way...if your place of work was 10 miles away, with a conventional bike would you really consider cycling to work and back...arriving all hot and sweaty? Honestly? But with a motorised pushbike, because of the assistance it gives you, you can extend the range you are able to cycle before you get tired. If you have access to a mains outlet at your destination to charge the battery for the return journey, then you can go further still.
Save time, stress and skip the traffic. - Everybody knows that feeling of turning a corner to find yourself at the very back of a traffic jam on your commute to work. By using a motorised pushbike, you can simply ride in the cycle lane and skip all the traffic, with no effort at all. When you arrive at your destination you can simply chain your bike to a cycle station or a secure railing, allowing you to park nearer your building and at no cost.
Opportunity for Youngsters- Living in the UK I am aware that youngsters at the age of 14 are able to ride motorised pushbikes. This allows them to become more independent without facing the insanity of insurance costs. Obviously there are some restrictions and requirements. The motor must cut out when exceeding 15mph and the pedals must be fully functional. You can easily find more information on the web.
