 There's
a long list of reasons why people are choosing
electric-powered bikes and scooters. They've been popular
in
other parts of the world for years - especially in Europe
and China. But
it wasn't until recently, with record gas prices and mounting environmental
concerns, that they became a legitimate option for many Americans.
Improved technology is making electric-power cheaper and more feasible
than ever. But the main reason people are choosing electric -- it
makes life easier! Here are some examples of people who make up the U.S.
electric bike market and how they benefit:
Types of Customers & Benefits
1.) Savvy Financial Cost-Cutters
We stress the financial advantages of electric-power throughout our website.
It's one
of the main reasons so many people are choosing electric-powered
bikes and scooters! Electric is just plain
cheap when compared to gas-powered vehicles. Reducing the cost of commuting reduces the financial burden
on families -- and individuals.

2.) Retirees and Middle-Aged Baby Boomers
Electric-power makes life easier for everyone!
For retirees and baby boomers this is especially true. Things
get a little harder as you get older, but riding a bicycle doesn't
have to be one of them! Electric bikes and scooters are great
for trips to the corner store, for taking on RV and boat trips --
or for just getting around the neighborhood. They make riding fun
and enjoyable again no matter what your age.
3.) Environmentally Conscious Green Advocates
Another point we continue to stress, is the eco-friendly nature
of electric-power. This makes electric bicycles
especially appealing to anyone who cares about the environment.
Although this may not be important to all
of our customers, it's important to us! Electric-powered bikes DO NOT BURN
FOSSIL FUELS and release no harmful carbon emissions. They're great
for air quality and our environment as a whole.
4.) Traffic Doomed City Dwellers
Transportation can be a headache in the big city. Depending on where you live, your options may be limited, or they might be a big hassle. An electric bike is perfect for navigating through heavy traffic and makes commuting a breeze. No need to worry about being sweaty or exhausted when you arrive at your destination. Electric bikes and scooters are great for commutes to work, to the park or any big city location.
5.) University and College Students
On most college campuses there's no need for automobiles. Many times, first year students can't have a car on campus or the cost makes it ridiculously expensive (car payments, insurance, parking, etc.). Electric bikes and scooters are ideal for college students. They make getting around campus fun and easy! At just a fraction of the cost, you can easily bring your transportation into your dorm room or lock it up outside on a bike rack. No insurance, parking fees or high car payments.
6.) Kids and The Entire Family
Of all the benefits associated with electric bikes and scooters,
one always seems to get lost in the shuffle - they're lots of fun!
And because they're safe and easy to operate, they're great for
families. In particular, kids love electric
scooters! They come in a variety of sizes, so Mom and Dad can join
in with their own - or they can share.
