Why choose an 
electric bike? Electric Bikes 
Australia
What is an Electric Bike……..? 
Electric bikes are a new and promising alternative form of urban 
transportation. They provide all the advantages of a regular 
bicycle: fun exercise, free parking, zero emissions, and freedom 
from gridlock, while eliminating one of the bicycle's more serious 
drawbacks, lack of power. Imagine pedaling up a hill as 
comfortably as riding down, that's what the e-bike experience is all 
about. In most situations in the city, riding an electric bike will be 
faster and cheaper than either car or public transit.
Ten good reasons to use 
an electric bike…
Faster Travel 
An electric bike can maintain a higher average 
speed than a bicycle, yet take advantage of the full 
network of cycle facilities, giving access to routes that 
cars and motorcycles cannot reach. The result is often a 
Faster door-to-door journey time than any other mode. 
And by nipping along the relatively uncongested cycle 
network, but eliminating hills and headwinds, electric 
bikes tend to be the most consistent mode of travel.
No Sweat! 
Sweat may not be a serious issue when you’re out for a leisure 
ride, but it’s more important if you’re cycling to work, and 
arriving at work sticky puts a lot of people off cycling. Oddly 
enough, you won’t sweat on an electric bike, even if you put in the 
same amount of effort as you do on an ordinary bike. This is a 
matter of physics as well as exertion – higher road speed and 
greater air flow mean instant sweat evaporation. In hot weather, 
it’s possible to maintain a normal schedule by transferring a bit 
more load to the electric motor. In colder weather – or if you feel 
in need of exercise – just throttle back, or turn the motor off.
Safety 
It sounds unlikely, doesn’t it? But the mathematics is 
compelling. Think of a steep and busy road, with cars 
climbing at 30mph. If you previously slogged up the hill 
At 6mph, but can tackle the same gradient at 12mph 
with an electric bike, you will see 33% fewer cars, and 
they will pass you at 18mph rather than 24mph. Or at 
least, we think that’s correct. Whatever the figures, 
there’s no doubt that an electric bike helps to keep you 
out of danger. The same general principle applies to 
road junctions and roundabouts – the faster your 
acceleration, the sooner you can get out of trouble.
Hill Climbing 
That may sound obvious, but it’s the primary advantage. A good 
electric bike effectively flattens hills, increasing your average speed 
and eliminating the ‘groan’ factor when a gradient comes into view. 
Provided you supply a reasonable amount of effort, you can expect 
to climb hills of 1:10 (10%) on an electric bike with ease, and clear 
a maximum gradient of 1:7 (14%), or even 1:4 (25%) with the right 
bike. In hilly country, the effect is nothing short of miraculous.
Electric Bike Running Costs 
Purchase cost is a little more than a conventional 
bike, mechanical wear and tear is about the 
same, and electricity is so cheap as to be largely 
irrelevant, but there is an extra expense in terms 
of battery depreciation. Consequently, an electric 
bike costs more to run – typically 8 – 12 pence per 
mile against 3 – 7 pence per mile for a non-assisted 
bike.. However, electric bike running costs should 
really be compared with those of a moped, car, or 
public transport, typically 20-40p per mile by bus, 20- 
60p by train and 30-150p for a small car.
Motorized, but no Red Tape! 
Electric bikes are bicycles in the eyes of the law, so 
they require no tax, insurance, MoT or license. You can 
ride one while disqualified, or after a couple of pints… 
at your own risk, of course. You CAN get into trouble, 
but nothing you do will affect your driving license 
providing the bike is within the law. You are of course 
free to insure the machine if you wish, but there’s no 
compulsion to do anything but enjoy yourself!
Personal Fitness 
Surely a conventional bike will keep you fitter? That, of 
course, depends how much – if at all – you use it. 
Research has found that 46% of conventional bikes are 
used only once or twice a week, with a further 30% being 
used once a fortnight or even less. The figures confirm 
our experience that an electric bike typically gets used at 
Least twice as often as a conventional machine. Because 
riding an electric bike is a great deal more enjoyable in 
hilly country, into strong winds, or when carrying heavy 
loads, users tend to make better use of them. The motor 
provides up to half the effort, but more regular use 
means more exercise for the rider.
Electric Bike Fuel Consumption 
Electric bikes are the most fuel efficient mode of transport 
in everyday use. Typical fuel consumption is 8-16 watt-hours 
per mile, or something like a tenth as much as a 
small motorcycle. In old money, that’s the equivalent of 
800-2,000mpg.
Sustainable 
This is a bit weird, but the evidence is very 
compelling. Ride a normal bicycle and you will 
have to top up with extra calories at Tescos. 
Producing and transporting that food takes a lot 
of energy, and it’s typically more than the electric 
bike battery needs to do the same amount of 
Work. Depending on the source of the electricity 
and the air-miles of the food, an electric bike is 
responsible for 5.8-13.7g/CO2 per mile, and a 
normal bike 10.5-18.5/CO2 per mile . 
Incredible!
High Resale Value 
At £400-£2,000, an electric bike costs more to 
buy than a conventional machine, but 
they tend to hold their value, so you get more of 
Your money back when you move on.
Thank you!!!!!
