12 Benefits of Using an Electric Bike
Did you know that e-bikes sell better than electric cars in the United States? The U.S. e-bike market is on the rise and is expected to continue to grow as more and more people turn to electric bikes.
But what exactly is it that’s getting people’s attention? Are e-bikes just a flash in the pan trend? Are e-bikes worth investing in? These are some of the questions you may be asking yourself.
Rest assured, e-bikes are more than just a fad. They have tangible benefits, and there is a strong consumer demand for good reason.
Read on to learn about some of the benefits of e-bikes.
Increased Physical Strength
Cycling is an excellent exercise for building physical strength, especially leg strength. The hamstrings and quadriceps (thighs) are the main muscles used when cycling. You may also feel a burning sensation in your calves and buttocks, depending on your bike seat height and riding position.
If your legs aren’t strong enough, e-bikes have a feature called “pedal assist” that can help. When you enable Pedal Assist, the e-bike motor will power the bike at a set level. There are various levels of pedal assist. For example, the Shuangye A5AH26 and Shuangye A6AH26 both have five levels of pedal assist.
With pedal assist, you can slowly build strength over time. If you have weak leg muscles, you can use a higher level of pedal assist. Then, as your muscle mass increases, lower the level of pedal assist.
Enhance overall health
Riding an e-bike can also improve your health in other ways. Studies have shown that e-biking is a great form of cardiovascular exercise that can improve cardiorespiratory health.
Regular aerobic exercise is known to improve overall circulation. This boosts your metabolism and helps you maintain a healthy weight. In addition, it reduces the risk of adverse health events such as stroke and heart disease.
Cycling is also a great moderate exercise because it’s low impact and doesn’t put too much stress on your knees. This is one of the reasons why e-bikes are a good choice for people with arthritic knees. Cyclists can maintain their range of motion without putting too much stress on their joints, especially if they use pedal assistance.
E-bikes can also help reduce the risk of joint problems. For one thing, it helps maintain a healthy weight (since being overweight can increase stress on the joints). Plus, cycling strengthens your leg muscles, which helps bear weight rather than leaving a burden on your joints.
Improve your endurance
You may think that an e-bike doesn’t provide as much exercise as a traditional bike because it “helps” the cyclist with pedal assistance. However, studies have shown that e-bike riders can increase their heart rate and breathing enough to be considered a workout.
This may be because the assistance provided by e-bikes means that people are more motivated to get out and use them. You won’t be prevented from getting on a road bike because you know you’ll have support when you need it.
This means you can be more physically active on a more regular basis for a longer period of time. The result? It’s easier to build endurance. For example, you may start with a high level of pedal assist for hills, but use less pedal assist as you increase your fitness level.
Riding new terrain (uphill, off-road, etc.)
The extra help of a bike motor can also help a cyclist go further than a regular bike using the same amount of energy. It’s easier to travel longer distances and explore new terrain when you know you can rely on pedal assistance when you’re tired.
Similar to traditional bikes, e-bikes offer different models suitable for different types of terrain. For example, Discover 1 comes with 2.5-inch tyres and is perfect for cruising around town.
In contrast, the Nomad 1 comes with 4-inch wide tyres. The thicker tyres give you better traction and stability, so you can ride the Nomad 1 on rough surfaces like gravel without sacrificing a smooth and comfortable ride.
Ride faster and further
Thanks to pedal assist, riding an e-bike takes less effort than riding a regular bike. This means you can travel faster and further without having to pedal yourself to exhaustion.
The Nomad 1 bike can travel up to 55 miles on a single charge, while the Discover 1 has a maximum range of 60 miles. Each bike takes just six hours to fully charge the battery, which means that as long as you charge it regularly after a ride, you should be ready to go. But if you’re a heavy rider, you can always buy an extra battery for your Shuangye e-bike.
E-bike motors can also increase speed. For example, the Discover 1 has a 500W (900W peak) motor, while the Nomad 1 has a 750W (1200W peak) motor. Background information: These bikes will provide you with a relaxing riding experience, even if you go up an 8-degree slope.
Reduces mental stress
E-biking is not only good for your physical health. It can also help your mental health. Keep in mind that studies have shown that e-bikers can generate just as much physical activity as traditional cyclists because they travel longer distances.
Regular exercise is known to be the key to good mental health. Studies have shown that exercise relieves anxiety, reduces the risk of depression and eliminates stress. It has even been shown to boost brain power, enhance memory and combat age-related mental decline. Plus, exercise improves sleep quality.
With an e-bike, you can reap the rewards of regular exercise. Knowing that you have amenities such as pedal assist and walk mode (where the e-bike moves forward on its own while you walk alongside it) can make you even more eager to get on your bike. There are really no excuses!
Studies have shown that spending time in nature relieves stress and improves emotional well-being. An e-bike can help you get in touch with nature. On a heavy-duty e-bike like the Nomad 1, you’ll be more mobile and able to reach natural areas.

E-bikes are safe.
E-bike pedal assist improves safety by increasing manoeuvrability and reducing the time it takes to move your bike. For example, let’s say you’re a cyclist in a big city. Being able to speed up seamlessly allows you to keep up with the flow of traffic and stay safe.
Similarly, if you have to cross the street quickly, Pedal Assist can help you get up and going quickly so you can safely get from point A to point B. E-bikes such as Discover 1 and Nomad 1 also feature Walk Assist, a setup that gently powers the bike along as you walk along it, which also improves manoeuvrability and safety.
Of course, it’s still important to follow best practices when riding an e-bike, just as you would on a conventional bike. For example, wear a helmet and conspicuous clothing while riding.
E-bikes are quiet
E-bikes are relatively quiet when in operation. In fact, some people believe that the sound of a good quality e-bike motor is not much louder than a regular bike, with comparable decibel levels.
This can be beneficial as it reduces noise pollution and is a more relaxing way to ride. If you like to ride in natural areas, then a quiet ride is a benefit. After all, you don’t want a loud engine drowning out the chirping of birds and the babbling of streams, do you?
For safety purposes, e-bikes offer the option to “make noise” when needed. For example, Shuangye’s bikes come with a bell. You can use the bell to alert pedestrians standing in your path, or to let cars in your driveway know you’re there.
E-bikes as an alternative to cars
As people become more environmentally conscious, they are becoming more aware of the disadvantages of driving. Conventional cars require petrol, which produces harmful emissions that harm the environment and pollute the air we breathe. E-bikes are a great way for anyone making a last mile journey or any journey of up to 10 miles.
That said, people still need to get around! If you live in a city where public transport is less accessible (or simply unavailable), you need another option. With pedal assist options, e-bikes allow you to get where you need to go quickly and with minimal effort.
There are also practical aspects. For example, e-bikes are cheaper than cars. If you don’t have the money for a car, an e-bike could be a good option.Shuangye’s e-bikes have a range of 55 to 60 miles, which makes them perfect for grocery shopping, especially if you outfit them with front and rear luggage racks.
Arrive sweating less
Of course, cycling is a great alternative to a car to help you get to and from work, social meetings and other activities. That said, you likely don’t want to arrive at your 9 a.m. meeting drenched in sweat.
Enter the e-bike. With pedal assist and walking modes, e-bikes are a good alternative to a typical bike. Avoid strenuous physical activity when you’re going to an appointment and need to look healthy and flushed rather than sweaty.
Feeling stressed after work? Get a complete workout by turning down the pedal assist and raising your heart rate. In short, you can get the best of both worlds with an e-bike.
E-bikes are environmentally friendly
One of the most talked about benefits of e-bikes is their eco-friendliness. Since they don’t require petrol, they don’t burn fossil fuels (which can lead to dangerous greenhouse gas emissions and deplete ozone). Using an e-bike instead of a car reduces your carbon footprint.
If you’re interested in helping the planet, e-bikes are a logical choice with clear environmental benefits. Studies have even shown that e-bike riders are more acutely aware of their impact on the environment when choosing their mode of transport than people who drive cars or use public transport.
E-bikes are also quiet. They don’t cause the noise pollution that cars do. This can create a more harmonious environment for people and animals. Noise pollution is a serious problem and can have health consequences, such as hearing loss.
