Advantages And Disadvantages Of Electric Bicycles
Yep, JUNK. If you are a pretty shrewd person and know your stuff I might suggest getting one but if you are that level you are better off building your own or getting a hub-mount. The truth is that bikes on the market have terrible range, pathetic speed, funny to weird designs, and in general just don't pack the punch that you should have. Take my word and just get a hub mount with some power.


However, if you feel better just buying one, there is another option at least as good. Get a bike kit. These things sound complicated but I've studied different brands and the truth is, they are SO SIMPLE. The power may be slightly reduced than a build your own but the super bonus is your system will be absolutely robust. I personally suggest crystallite hub mounted kits because of their raw power but there are many great sets. Honestly, people have a blast putting hub mounted electric motors in their kits.

Don't start with price! The price between the highest-priced kids quad bikes and the lowest-priced is only a few hundred dollars, and while buying the cheapest may save you a few bucks on the initial purchase, you may end up spending it on parts or repairs later. Remember that old adage, "You get what you pay for"?

I really liked my first drive and ended up with a similar bike as my friend. Soon enough I discovered three new benefits that I never could have even thought of. With this vehicle I would get more exercise, save money and even contribute to a less polluted world. These are big worlds so let me explain each of them a bit more.

Electric bike kits are actually battery powered bikes for those who do not have enough budget to buy an already installed electric bicycle. This electric bicycle kit actually makes use of your old usual bike to be able to transform it into an electric bicycle. This electric bicycle kit has all the components needed to be able to make your ordinary bike into an electric bike. It has the battery, the brakes, the lights, and all the necessary stuffs not present in an ordinary bike.

You'll be surprised how many places you can get to and back with your electric bicycle. My bike gets about twenty miles per charge so I figure about 9 miles each way to be safe. I never really thought about it before I started ridding my electric bicycle, but almost all the places I go on a daily basis are within 9 miles of my house. All those years of starting up the car just to go a couple of miles was really wasteful and the gas used adds up fast and is really unnecessary.

Last but definitely not least is brakes. Most of the current electric bike kits require front and rear hand brakes. This is mostly in the form of "v" or "u" style friction brakes. There are a few kits that will accommodate disc brakes but these a quite rare at the moment. You can use a rear coaster brake but only if you use a front drive kit and you must also have a front hand brake. There is electric bikes rating built into electric bikes that causes the motor to cut out as soon as you activate the hand brakes. Without at least one hand operated brake, the bike will be unsafe to ride.

The price of a hybrid bike may set you back from $500 to $1000 USD. But that should pay for itself within a year if you can save on $50-$70 a month on gas and/or $20-$30 on gym membership.
