Electric bikes are becoming more and more popular, as people look for ways to commute that are environmentally friendly and efficient.

One easy way we can all contribute to combating climate change and minimize overall carbon footprint is to stop using only cars in order to get around.

Electric bike transportation modes are bringing alternative ways to navigate short distances, and with 55% of all trips being under five miles in the U.S, the opportunity for disruption is huge.

If just Americans replaced 50% of their short-distance car trips with e-bikes, we would save 273K metric tons of CO2 every day, which is equivalent to the carbon sequestered by 4.5 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years.

Electric bikes (or e-bikes) are bicycles that are powered by batteries, and can reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour.

E-bikes are a great option for those who want to ride a bike, but don’t want to deal with the hassle of pedaling uphill.

In the recent years electric bike startups have raised billions in capital to make the e-bike revolution a reality.

There are a few things to consider before purchasing an electric bike. First, you’ll need to decide what type of bike you want.

There are three main types of e-bikes: mountain bikes, road/commuter bikes, and folding bikes.

Once you’ve decided on the type of bike you want, you’ll need to choose the right size. Electric bikes come in a range of sizes, from extra small to extra large.

It’s important to choose a size that will be comfortable for you to ride. You can find sizing charts online that can help you select the right size bike.

Finally, you’ll need to decide what features you want in an electric bike. Some features, like suspension and a motor that provides assisted pedaling, can add to the price of the bike.

But these features can also make your ride more comfortable and enjoyable.
