Atmosphere Electric Bikes

Electric bikes are assisted through the use of the latest low voltage motors and technically advanced batteries

This means that you can cycle along as normal, losing none of the enjoyment and the motor will help you when the going gets tough.

So who uses them :

• Do you live in a hilly area ? – having the extra help from the motor means that you can actually get up hills with ease and at a safer speed than a normal bike. The ones with torque converters are also very efficient as they monitor the force applied and give you just the amount of power needed.

• Are you concerned about Pollution ? – the electric bike is more or less emission free. It does not emit anything while being used so does not add to urban pollution in cities. The only thing it does use is electricity to charge the battery which has a very very small carbon imprint. If you calculate a 20 mile a day journey to work over a year you will produce 29 kg of carbon dioxide using an electric bike as opposed to 1670 kg using the average family car.

• Do traffic jams annoy you ? – Although you do not have the top speed of a car you do have the ability to keep up a far more constant speed – this usually means that you don’t do lots of stop start driving in traffic and arrive at your destination less tense and faster. On top of that you are allowed to use the dedicated bike lanes and bus lanes which can take you through some of the nicer parts of your local town or city. So for less frustration, more speed and nicer views – what more could you want

• Worried about increasing transport costs? Just imagine having no tax, no fuel, no insurance, and no parking charges to pay. Using an electric bike a 20 mile journey will cost you around 5p - a huge saving over using a car for a similar journey. The initial outlay for the bike will rapidly be recouped

• Do you still want to ride a bike but need some help ? Elder people or those health problems really appreciate the ability to carry on cycling with the help of an electric bike. Weak knees are not a problem anymore as the motor is like having that extra helping hand.

• Do you use your bike to commute to work? - If so you fully appreciate the problem of arriving at work “less than fresh”. So if your employer does not have changing and shower facilities you are left feeling uncomfortable. This is not something that happens with electric bikes – the ideal commuter carrier

• When you need to be more healthy ? – I know your initial reaction is that how can an electric bike make you more healthy – well lets think about it. Most people who have a normal bike don’t actually use them regularly. A recent survey has found that some 80% of electric bike owners get out on their bike almost every week. So this means that although you are not expending as much muscle power as a regular bike (about half in reality) you are actually using it far more times, which means a healthier lifestyle.

How electric bicycle contribute to the greener tomorrow

We have been living in a polluted atmosphere since ages. Most of the air is polluted due to the smoke blowing out of the emission tail pipe of the vehicles running on fuel. Smoke is a by-product of incomplete combustion. Incomplete combustion can significantly increase the quantity of certain toxic chemicals discharged by vehicles into the air. Such air is harmful to all living beings on this earth. The effects of the air pollution can be very serious. It damages plants by destroying their leaves which directly affects the rain as the trees and plants are the main resources of receiving rain. In each city the level of dangerous gas like carbon monoxide has reached the dangerous levels.

Plants convert carbon dioxide back to oxygen, but the release of carbon dioxide from human activities is higher than the world's plants can process. Carbon dioxide is produced when fuels are burned. Thus, the amount of carbon dioxide in the air is continuing to increase. The Greenhouse Effect, also referred to as global warming, is because of the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gas which has mixed up with the atmosphere. It is because of this gas that the atmosphere of the earth is getting warm to such an extend that even the icebergs in Greenland have started dissolving.

Now it is the time to make our next generation live in a clean, fresh and green environment. The answer to the clean and green environment is to adopt such a mean of transportation which should not blow dangerous gas from its emission tail pipe. However, it is not possible to completely stop blowing the gas in case of vehicles running on fuel. The only option to the smoke free transportation is the electric bicycle. Battery powered electric bicycles provide zero-emission transportation all over the world. This vehicle has been replacing most of the two wheelers every where. In order to develop the new electric bicycles powered by battery, many companies have come up and started manufacturing electric bicycles in different models in many countries of the world.

The popularity of electric bicycles might entice you to buy the first thing you see on the market just so you can say that you own one. This is not a good idea - please take a bit of time and take advice . Please call on 01179 087153
