The E-Bike Rider Experience

As a major retailer of E-Bikes (both styles) I am writing this letter on behalf of Scooter Style E-Bikes.

We are presently down at the Green Living Show for the third year in a row promoting the use of e-bikes to replace automobiles especially for the shorter commutes.  With the experience of having personally sold over 500 scooter style e-bikes,  in less than 3 years,  I can safely say that the scooter style more effectively encourages automobile users to park their car and use one of our bikes for commutes of 10 km and less.  (more…)

I ride my e-bike to the go station every day for work. Therefore there is one less car commuting to work everyday. I also take my e-bike on weekends for any errands where I do not have to carry many items. It is really a great alternative to a car, is really no different then a bicycle (including the scooter style) based on the speed limitations of it. Everyone seems to be worried about the environment but this is just talk. It is time the Ontario government saw these bikes as a great alternative to driving a car and stepped up to the plate like many of the other provinces in Canada and provided legislation to permanently allow them on the roads and bike paths.

My first reason for getting onto a scooter style E-Bike was for cost. It was a very cheap way to get to and from work, plus get around town without using a car or having to wait on Public Transportation.

E-bikes are amazing. They are a safe, low-speed, and QUIET form of transportation that has allowed me to use an emission-free form of transportation for distances that are not practical to do on a bicycle. Lack of shower facilities at work, the necessity to carry several changes of clothing when I do bicycle, and grinding up and down several hills daily makes riding a bike to our downtown area not feasible.

My scooter style e-bike allows me to replace my car for everyday driving. I use it to get to work, run errands, and for recreation. The cargo capacity within the scooter greatly enhances its function.

ebikes for me are great. don’t need a licence or insurance. I’m out in the fresh air. I’m not polluting which is something I’m concerned about.

My family and I live in a crowded neighborhood that already has too many cars. Even if it had more room, we could not afford a second vehicle BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING GAS, INSURANCE AND LICENSING COSTS (I’m not yelling at you I just wanted to point out that this is the #1 reason we bought one). An e-bike allows me to go 23km to work (1-way) and free up the van for the family, as well as save a lot of money, which we then spend on other needs. It is also extremely environmentally friendly and safe. I have yet to have ANY drivers honk or yell at me because they were upset at my presence on the side of the road.
