Electric Bikes

An e-bike or electric bike is just one of the many new examples of new inventions in the transportation industry. A stereotypical e-bike has a large motor that powers the bike that is located near the pedals. In most cases, the motor has two parts on either side of the motor transmitting power to turn the wheels. One side has magnets, the other side has wires that have the energy transmitted from the battery. This ends in the turning of the motor. How does the battery work? Well, the battery stores the energy in the bike. First, the rider will have to open up the intube battery(the holder of the battery) and slide the top of it off. The rider will then connect the battery to a charging station. After the e-bike is charged, the rider should slot the top back onto the intube battery and connect it back onto the bike. This energy will transfer to the motor and start the bike. 

The e-bike is better then regular bikes or even cars for many reasons. First being the speed. The high speed on an e-bike is roughly 28 mph. This is nearly half of how fast the average  car goes on a highway! (65mph) This could mean a new era for transportation. Not only do it's high speeds rival the car, but it is also emitting less harmful gases into the air that cars put out on a daily basis. If you want to go even further into this topic, you can bring into account the safety of the e-bike. Most electric bikes are built in with a special sensor facing the road that can tell how many miles per hour you are going. If you are going too fast, the bike will automatically slow down on its own. Less bike accidents will occur after  the change to e-bikes are made. Most likely saving many lives from the 1,000 people who die during biking accidents each year.
