3 minute read
Electric bicycles are gaining increasing popularity and you probably often notice them in urban environments. The truth is that this is one of the most convenient and eco-friendly ways to move quickly around the city. We present to you ten reasons why an electric bicycle might be the right choice for you.
1. Excellent design and variety of frames
Modern electric bicycles are lightweight, comfortable, and easy to charge and maintain. The variety of types (mountain, city, cargo, folding, etc.), combined with battery durability, encourages more and more people to invest in purchasing this type of bicycle. The lithium-ion battery of DRAG electric bicycles, for example, can last up to 100 km of riding on a single charge.
2. Energy and confidence
If you have always wanted to get around by bike but the thought of physical exertion discouraged you, now you can afford it with the help of the electric motor. Thanks to it, you can enjoy only the pleasant side of cycling without unnecessary exhaustion and fatigue.
3. Wind and climbing – with ease!
One of the most unpleasant sensations for many cyclists is climbing against the wind. However, with an electric bicycle, even this type of challenge is easily overcome. One of the new models - ION, can not only get you around the city but also handle the toughest mountain climbs, taking you to places you haven’t been before.
4. Freedom to choose your clothing
A huge advantage is the ability to dress comfortably according to the season and weather conditions. Since you expend significantly less energy moving, the risk of sweating is minimal. This is a big advantage when cycling to work. EMotive bicycles are designed precisely for this purpose – to be the ideal solution for riding in an urban environment – fast, easy, and reliable.
5. More safety
The presence of additional acceleration when starting from a stop provides you with greater safety on the road than a traditional bike. Also, your attention to the surrounding environment is more focused since you don’t spend as much time with your head down or standing on the pedals trying to gain speed. Escape ADVANCED is another of DRAG’s new electric bicycle models, whose motor and geometry are designed to provide you with maximum freedom in urban cycling.
6. Less time in the car
If you commute daily to and from work, the time spent in traffic is probably not your favorite. Switching to an electric bicycle will save you a lot of nerves and time, which you can invest in more pleasant and useful activities. It will also serve as a dose of energy for the day, contributing to better mood and increased productivity.
7. Longer distances – less fatigue
When you ride for pleasure, you can enjoy the opportunity to cover longer distances than usual and visit more places without additional fatigue and the risk of muscle soreness the next day. You can confidently plan new adventures!
8. Intuitive drive
All DRAG electric bicycle models are equipped with Shimano STEPS assist systems. These systems assess the terrain and provide you with the necessary help to overcome it. For example, you can effortlessly overcome even the steepest climb quickly.
9. Ideal for shopping
Cycling with extra load is not an easy task. However, with an electric bicycle, you can fully benefit from the motor’s assistance when you are carrying more purchases.
10. Lower costs
Compared to cars and motorcycles, electric bicycles are much more economical and easier to maintain. Although their market price is higher than that of standard bikes, the costs for charging the battery are minimal.
Our specialized service, in turn, will provide you with peace of mind and a guarantee that your electric bicycle will bring you joy for many years to come.
Ion, Escape, and E-Motive are next-generation DRAG electric bicycles created for maximum comfort and ease in cycling. Thanks to them and the built-in Shimano STEPS system, you can enjoy new emotions and achievements.
