The Sweaty Question

This is one of the biggest objections to regular bicycle transportation, and it is a fair concern.

On a regular pedal bike, a warm day, bridge crossing, or headwind can turn a short ride into a workout. That may be fine on the way home. It is not always fine on the way to work, school, church, a meeting, or a restaurant.

How an e-bike helps

Electric assist reduces the effort needed to keep moving. You can still pedal, but you decide how much effort you want to contribute.

• Use more assist when you need to arrive fresh.
• Use less assist when you want more exercise.
• Let the motor help with headwinds, bridges, and hot weather.
