Imagine cruising effortlessly up hills and conquering long distances with ease.
Or easily biking cargo, whether it's groceries or your kids on the way to school.
Welcome to the world of e-bikes - the future of transportation in Los Angeles. Let us tell you a bit more about why they are taking the world by storm.
What are “e-bikes”?
E-bikes, also known as electric bikes, are innovative vehicles that combine the convenience of a bicycle with the power of electricity to offer riders a unique and exhilarating experience.
Unlike traditional bikes, e-bikes are equipped with an electric motor that provides additional assistance when pedaling. This means that riders can conquer hills and cover long distances without breaking a sweat.
While the electric motor provides power, riders have the option to dial up or down the level of assistance - allowing them to still pedal and engage in physical activity.
Tackle hills and long distances
When it comes to tackling hills and conquering long distances, e-bikes are in a league of their own. With their powerful electric motors, these innovative vehicles make uphill rides a breeze and allow you to cover extensive distances without breaking a sweat. Whether you're exploring the Hollywood Hills or biking to a hike at Griffith Park, you'll be amazed at the capabilities of these machines.
Long-distance rides are also made easy. The Tern GSD and Quick Haul have a range of ~60 miles, and with the assistance of the electric motor, you can maintain a steady pace and cover greater distances. Also with the removable battery and easy to carry charger, you can charge your bike at any stop - extending your range even further.
Cargo carrying machine
Transporting cargo on a regular bike can be exhausting - bikes are much harder to pedal with loads, and even harder to maneuver. E-bikes solve this with their powerful electric motors. Moreover, Wombi’s Tern e-bikes come with versatile cargo rack solutions that make it even easier to carry the extra weight of groceries or a passenger.
Use any of Wombi’s accessories or setups to unlock a whole new set of carrying capabilities to your bike. Need to carry groceries? Check out the panniers. Need to drop-off your kids to school? Grab a child seat. Wombi provides all of these tools to be ready to go.
Fight traffic and parking
In Los Angeles, fighting traffic and finding parking can be a daily struggle. But e-bikes offer a convenient and efficient way to navigate through congested streets, use bike lanes, and avoid the hassle of searching for a parking spot.
Did you know 50% of car trips in Los Angeles are less than 3 miles? Those trips can easily be done with an e-bike, and almost always are just as fast or faster than with a car. Add to that the ease of locking up your bike at a bike rack versus finding a parking spot, and you find yourself much happier getting around the city.
Good for your body
One of the incredible benefits of using an e-bike in Los Angeles is the positive impact it can have on your fitness. While the electric motor provides assistance, riders still have the option to pedal and engage in physical activity. This means that you can enjoy the best of both worlds – the convenience of the electric motor and the opportunity to stay fit and active.
In fact, studies show that e-bike riders get more exercise than traditional bike riders, because they are more likely to bike more.
Cycling is a great way to strengthen your muscles, improve cardiovascular health, and boost your overall fitness levels. With an e-bike, you can easily incorporate cycling into your daily routine without feeling overwhelmed or exhausted.
Great for the world
When it comes to reducing our carbon footprint and creating a cleaner, greener future, e-bikes are a game-changer. In Los Angeles, where traffic congestion and air pollution are major concerns, opting for an e-bike instead of a car can have a significant positive impact on the environment. An e-bike emits 40 - 140 times fewer pounds of greenhouse gasses than a gas car in California. By choosing an e-bike for your daily commute or weekend adventures, you are not only making a healthier choice for yourself but also for the planet.
