How environmentally friendly are electric cyclings?
Very!
According to Grin Technologies, an electric cycling manufacturer based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the environmental footprint of electric cyclings can actually be smaller than that of traditional bicycles.
This is because traditional bicycles require more manpower. Because they need more manpower, they need more food energy to convert into trampling energy, which is where larger footprints enter the equation.
Perhaps the biggest concern about electric cyclings is not the bicycle itself, but its batteries, especially lead and lithium ion batteries. These must be handled, transported and disposed of very carefully, as they can lead to dangerous results in some cases if not handled properly.
Is an electric cycling heavier than a traditional bike?
Yes, considering that electric cyclings are equipped with batteries and motors, they are heavier than traditional bicycles. This means that you look about 20 pounds more, so be careful when handling, lifting, carrying or moving your electric bike.
Because of this heavy and assisted trampling factor, it must be remembered that riding an electric cycling is slightly different from traditional bicycles. It may be a good idea to practice in a well traveled area before you integrate yourself into the main road.
This will help you pay more attention to your speed and become familiar with your brakes. Since your electric cycling carries more weight and speed than traditional bicycles,electric cyclingtakes longer to stop and start.
