So what is an
electric bike and how will it help me get fitter?
Electric bikes are like
ordinary bikes but come fitted with a motor and battery .
The experience is very
pleasant and always puts a big smile on everyone's face.
You do not need a driving
license or insurance, there' s no road tax to pay, no fuel
to pay and parking is always free - plus they can be ridden
on cycle paths.
But will
I get fitter?
A lot of people buy a bike
to get fit, but find it much harder going than they thought.
With an electric bike, you
can vary the level of assistance and only pedal as much or
as little as you like.
As you get better
and go for longer rides, you'll pedal more and go out more
and build up your stamina.
Recent surveys have shown
that electric
bikes encourage users to go out and ride far more often
compared to normal bikes.
Doctors are now
also recommending electric cycling for anyone who is
overweight, after surgery
to help with building up stamina or has health
conditions such as asthma.
Come along
and have some fun!
