From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.

    I have a class 2 ebike and i’ve gone from 0km on bicycle per week to roughly 60km on bicycle per week. It gave me the boost i need for hill and slope as i live in hilly place, and it also help me lug grocery for the short grocery run, while also help me with my cardio and some exercise as i still need to pedal, and help with my mood. It enable me to skip the traffic line and straight to the front row, and skip looking for parking at peak hour.

    I’ve seen all sort of people on an ebike going their business, all independent from car. I’ve also have a lady asking me about ebike because she doesn’t want to rely on her son to fetch her everyday. All these in a country with little to no bike infrastructure and mostly not having public transport. It’s a straight upgrade from the greatest micromobility tool human ever created, and it’s made accessible for everyone.

    Though i must say, class 1 and 2 ebike are real bike, beyond that it’s a moped with pedal.
