The beauty of Electric Bikes.

You know those times dream of adventure but the physical barriers are just too great. Those days are gone!

Electric wheels are the newest and most exciting trend, taking the cycling world by storm.

A very unobtrusive motor, powered by battery is installed by the rear wheel of bikes. It only works as you pedal, so this is no free ride but gives you as much (or little) assistance as you are after. A super cyclist you will be!

Global Cycling Adventures recently took a 70 year old man on an E-bike on one of their 44 day tours.

E-bikes allows you to stick with companions who may not normally be at the same level. Often we see couples that bike together but struggle because one is more advanced than the other. E-wheels make for the perfect solution, levelling the playing field and making everyone feel equal. It gives riders that would possibly exhaust themselves trying to keep up a sense of empowerment.

Health benefits

The health benefits of e-biking are backed up by the results of a study conducted by the University of Colorado. Researchers gave a group of out-of-shape men and women electric bikes to ride to work each day. A month later the riders were healthier with significantly greater aerobic fitness, better blood sugar control, and less body fat. Significantly, they all reported they had loved the experience and found it fun.
