Electric Bikes a Hit Amongst Cash Conscious Commuters



They’re a major hit in China, with over 120 million sold over the last decade. With rising fuel prices and congestion fees popping up all around the country, e-bikes – an incredible new form of electronic bicycle – are quickly becoming the ‘next big thing’ in Europe thanks to their tiny form factor and incredibly low cost of use.

Electric bicycles have been around for a long amount of time, with models on sale in the United Kingdom for the better part of twenty years. Formerly used by hobbyists as an inexpensive transportation option, electric bicycles are now going mainstream in the UK, with an estimated 700,000 electric bikes sold in Europe throughout 2010.

Given the rising cost of getting around towns and cities in the UK by public transport and private vehicle, it’s easy to see the advantages of electric bikes. But many riders report being drawn to electric bicycles for reasons other than their low costs, ‘green’ record, and their comfort for riders.

Many electric bicycle owners are former cyclists who have grown tired of riding to and from work on cool mornings. Preferring to save their energy to use as their job, these former hobbyist cyclists have taken to electric bikes thanks to their surprising amount of power and reasonably efficient use of electrical energy.

A single battery charge is often enough to drive an electric bike and its rider for over twenty miles – in some cases, even further when the pedals are used lightly. As most office workers would prefer to avoid performing a Tour De France feat of endurance every morning, the self-riding electric bikes have gained a large amount of users.

Another key benefit amongst electric bicycle users is the low electricity usage and fantastic green record of e-bikes. While motorcycles use a large amount of petrol – in some cases, far more per passenger than a larger car – many former scooter and motorcycle riders have turned to electric bikes as a clean and green alternative.

The average electric bicycle puts out no emissions and uses only a nominal amount of electricity as it pushes its rider along their commute, research shows. As such, it’s a great green idea to ride an electric bicycle to and from work instead of using your car, your motorcycle, or any number of other polluting forms of transportation.

Finally, the low cost of operating an electric bicycle is an obvious draw for workers and commuters searching for a cheap form of transportation. With the cost of public transport on the rise and petrol now at extortionate levels, the low cost of charging an electric bicycle is a small price to pay for a simple, stress-free daily commute.

From their environmental advantages to their cost-cutting benefits, electric bikes are growing in popularity for good reason. Now the de-facto form of city transport in many parts of China and a growing travel choice in Continental Europe, electric bikes are rapidly becoming the UK’s number one personal transport choice.

Holiday On An eBike.


What better way to enjoy all the scenery on a holiday to Cornwall than on an eBike? A Cornish cycle company has introduced a brand new fleet of eBikes to their collection to enable tourists of all ages and abilities to tour the county and go sightseeing on two wheels. The first and only company in Cornwall to offer these electric bikes to tourists, Cornish Cycle Tours have said that they are perfect for people of mixed ages such as a family with one or two generations like grandparents and it is a way to keep fit too.

The company which was founded six years ago provides a service to tourists so that they can have a safe and enjoyable cycling holiday in Cornwall and visit all the splendid scenery. The holidays are set along certain routes that vary in length and distance and difficulty, to cater for all abilities. The owner of Cornish Cycle Tours said 'We want to make Cornwall by bike accessible for everyone no matter how fit or experienced a cyclist they are. These new electric bikes are perfect for those looking to set a more leisurely pace for their holiday, or for groups with varying fitness levels.'

The eBikes made hardly any noise at all and have three different levels of assistance which are eco, normal and sport. The level you choose depends on the amount of exertion you want to make. The power for the bikes can be topped up at power sources along different points of the route or can be charged up each evening.

Cornish Cycle Tours have thought of everything to make your holiday an enjoyable experience from luggage transfers and detailed maps and information about the particular tour you choose to take, with step by step instructions for each day of the touring holiday. Prices are reasonable and start at £275 per person for a three day tour of Cornwall on an ebike.

Of course there is lots to see and do in Cornwall, so if a cycling holiday isn’t your thing then don’t be put off! In fact, if you know you want to stay in the area but aren’t sure what to do then a quick search online can help. Lots of tourist places have websites now, which means that you should find it easy enough to find places to visit. This is great news because it means that whatever type of holiday you enjoy there will be something to suit you.

On the flip side of that if you enjoy cycling but don’t want to visit Cornwall,  you can see enjoy an eBike. Whether you buy your own, or hire one locally they can be enjoyed almost anywhere! Aren’t sure of a retailer that can help? A quick search online for eBikes should be able to help. In fact these are often so easy to get hold of that you can be on your local cycle paths much quicker than you imagine!

School Cycling Fundraiser.

Cycling the Tour de France requires years of dedication and hard work just to complete the three week race, and the 2,000 miles it requires each cyclist to pedal, just ask Bradley Wiggins who won the race last year to become the first British rider in the history of the event. So if someone said to you a group of cyclists were going to cycle a combined total of 1,337 miles in just 24 hours, and on just three bikes, you would laugh at them wouldn't you?

Well a team of dedicated people from the Lathallan School just north of Montrose in Scotland have done exactly that, despite taking an extra 45 minutes to complete the 1,337 miles, but considering the distance involved what's 45 minutes between friends!

Staff, pupils and parents came up with the novel idea of a cycle-a-thon to raise money for the schools forthcoming rugby and netball tours to Dubai. The schools Under 18 Rugby team are taking part in the prestigious two day Dubai College's Rugby 10s Tournament, while the schools senior Netball team are playing games against Repton College Dubai and Dubai College.

The team of intrepid cyclists set up three static bikes in the schools ballroom and as you would expect there was plenty of support on hand. All the pupils that are going on the tour took part in the cycle-a-thon, as well as numerous other pupils and teachers from the school. There were regular water breaks and plenty of sweets on hand to keep the cyclists going as they pedalled for glory. During lesson time the younger pupils added their support by working out how far the cyclists had travelled and how far they had left to go.

The school posted regular updates on their Facebook page so everyone could monitor their progress. If you wish to donate to the cause you can still do so by contacting the school direct and asking for Mrs Howie or Mr Horne, who will be only too glad to take your donations or sponsorship monies from you.

How many miles do you think you could cover in a 24 hour period? The great thing about this story was there were no climbing the Pyrenees or climbing the Alps like in the Tour de France, everything was done indoors, but none the less it was a truly remarkable effort by everyone that took part. 

The great news is that this shows you can do something if you put your mind to it. A indoor cycle shows that you can even do a massive fundraising event in a relatively small space. If you want to do some fundraising why not try and range something similar? Cycling not your thing – don’t worry! Simply get searching online for fundraising inspiration and find something that tickles your fancy – you are bound to find something that suits you perfectly!
