Electric Bike

Desperate to start exercising but worried about your fitness levels? Want to be able to join in with family and friends when they invite you to take part in their exercise regimen?

Then an electric bike from the likes of Brompton could be all you need to overcome those fitness hang-ups you have.

You may have seen these innovative machines whizzing around town, but what could they mean for a wannabe fitness pro like you?

Let’s find out below:

They Give You the Perfect Opportunity to Get Fit

You already know that living a sedentary lifestyle is damaging for your health, but how do you find time to get active when you’re already juggling enough in your life as it is?

Simple.

You combine your commute with exercise. In fact, you can combine any journey with exercise if you wish.

An electric bike is ideal if you commute regularly because you’ll be able to get to work without needing a shower as soon as you get there. They help take the hard work out of the commute, get you there faster, and make the whole experience far more enjoyable. Plus, you may even find that they’re quicker because you’re not limited to the same traffic queues that cars and public transport are.

They Make Getting Fit Much Easier

So you’re flying to work on a bike with a motor, but just how does this actually help you get fit?

A lot of electric bikes have pedals as standard. So even though the electric motor is powering these pedals around for you, just having your feet on the pedals as they’re moving around will burn more calories than if you’re just sat driving a car and it helps mobilize your joints.

Therefore, if you suffer from stiff or painful joints, you’ll find this gentle motion gets everything moving without causing any further pain – and without too much effort on your part.

Plus, you don’t have to use the electric motor all the time. This allows you to switch it on and off when you need it, so you can go further and enjoy a scenic bike ride, without the worry of being far from home without any energy left in your tank to get you back.

They Mean You’re Doing Your Bit for the Environment

While not a help for your exercise regimen, per se, knowing you’re doing your bit for the environment while you’re exercising is often a great attraction.

Of course, these bikes do still need charging so they need electricity, but when you compare how much electricity they use in comparison to an electric motorbike or car, you’re using much, much less. Plus, when you’re biking to work instead of driving, you aren’t releasing those toxic gases into the air.

And if you really want to go one step further, there are sustainable countries that you can obtain your electricity from.

So, what are you waiting for?

If you’re worried you’re not fit enough to enjoy a bike ride with those you love or you worry about commuting and exercising, an electric bike offers you the best of both worlds. Plus, you’ll be able to keep up with the person in front of you at all times!
