For two and a half centuries the bicycle has accompanied people's movements and with the passage of time its use has become increasingly versatile.
Daily commute, faithful companion in free time and great ally in sport.
It has also become increasingly high-performance and with increasingly innovative designs and geometries, in step with the times.
And then came the e-bike.
More and more aesthetically beautiful, from shapes to colors, more and more technologically advanced and, above all, suitable for all ages.
But beyond this, there are 7 very valid reasons why the electric bicycle must play an increasingly central position in everyone's life.
Let's see them together!
It's good for physical fitness.
The e-bike is a great ally in keeping fit and keeping your muscles toned.
As we saw in our article “E-Bike: some myths to dispel”, it is absolutely not true that it is not difficult, on the contrary, it has been proven that those who have an e-bike carry out much more physical activity than those who have a muscle bike.
And again, the pedal-assisted bicycle helps us to burn calories it's at tone your muscles: on an uphill route, for example, in the push phase, the glutes will work a lot, which are activated when the hip extends and will be incredibly toned.
It's good for the heart.
Like all aerobic activities, e-biking is also good medicine for Heart.
By cycling 30 minutes a day, the heart becomes bigger and stronger, being able to contain more blood. In this way the capillarization of the muscles is greater and allows the heart to work less.
Helps you sleep.
From Stanford University comes the solution for insomnia.
Researchers have highlighted how cycling at least 20 minutes a day can help people fall asleep in half the time, increasing rest by about an hour. The answer can be given by sunlight.
In fact, Professor Jim Horne, of Loughborough University, has found a correlation between sunlight and our daily biological rhythms, capable of decreasing cortisol levels, in fact reconciling sleep.
It's a panacea for the mind.
According to some researchers from the Illinois faculty, physical exercise stimulates the renewal of hippocampal cells, the interested party in the memory. This means that the e-bike can be used as a preventive weapon against neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
An experiment they conducted, in fact, demonstrated an improvement in 15% in mnemonic performance as well as an improvement in 5% in physical performance.
It's (very) good for your wallet.
No more petrol, road tax, insurance and inspections.
According to Federconsumatori, the machine would cost Italians around €. 7,073 per year, unlike an e-bike which in fact does not involve any management costs, other than a few tens of euros per year for ordinary and extraordinary maintenance.
All this while covering, at city level, the same distances that would be traveled by car, in many cases even in less time.
It's good for the environment.
Transport is the second largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions.
According to a report by the Institute of Transportation & Development Policy, a significant increase in the number of cyclists could reduce CO2 emissions produced by urban public transport by almost11% in 2050 without penalizing the usual frequency of our movements within the city.
As well as solving a major urban traffic problem and finding parking spaces.
It's good for the mood.
By pedaling the brain produces endorphin, the happiness hormone.
Furthermore, the sense of freedom brings a great benefit to mental well-being.
Without taking into account that by cycling every day, the body improves, as well as self-esteem.
Finally, constant training leads to an improvement in performances, allowing us to always push ourselves beyond our comfort zone, and an electric bicycle, thanks to the assistance that accompanies pedaling, allows us to constantly and immediately overcome our limits and this ensures that It's a real mood booster!
In conclusion, the e-bike is a means that brings 360 degree benefits, which deserves to play an increasingly central role in everyone's lives!
