Environmental advantage of electric bike

Environmental advantage of electric bike

The development of electric transportation is touted as one of the ways that every member of society can do their part to save our planet from the imminent climate crisis that is widely talked about. In addition to “fitness”, environmental issues are one of the main reasons why many people switch from cars to other means of transportation (such as electric bicycles). However, are the benefits of switching to electric bicycles limited to reducing carbon emissions?The following is about the environmental advantage of electric bicycle.

Zero emission

When considering the benefits of riding a bicycle over using a vehicle, the first thing that comes to mind is that these alternative modes of transportation do not emit greenhouse gases. Electric bicycles and their manual products have zero emissions. In contrast, an ordinary passenger car with a fuel economy of about 22 miles per gallon and driving about 11,500 miles per year will emit 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. This alone will significantly reduce your carbon footprint.

Reduce smoke or air pollution

Smog and air pollution are receiving increasing attention in major cities in the United States. According to the American Lung Association, nearly 50% of Americans now live in and breathe polluted air. Riding an electric bike instead of using gasoline or diesel-powered cars can reduce personal contributions to air pollution and greenhouse gases, and help make the world’s air cleaner and better for everyone.
No noise pollutionIn short, electric bicycles are almost no noise, especially when compared to cars. Their noise impact is not much greater than that of ordinary bicycles. As you might expect, the motors on electric bikes do make some noise, but this is usually obscured by the sound of tires on the asphalt, the sidewalk, or the dirt under your feet.

Reduce road congestion

This may not seem like an important topic, but the more people who leave their cars at home and choose to commute by other means, the fewer cars on the road. In turn, this means that traffic can be faster and smoother, making cars on the road more environmentally friendly by reducing the time they spend on the road and improving fuel efficiency during commuting.

More suitable for road

Although the roads we build are durable, they will not last forever due to widespread wear and tear. Riding light electric bicycles on these asphalt roads instead of driving heavy vehicles can reduce the impact and wear on these roads, thereby extending their service life and reducing the frequency of road resurfacing.

Long-lasting recyclable battery

We all believe that electric cars and electric bicycles are better for the environment, but the batteries that power these modes of transportation are not always the most environmentally friendly. Traditional car batteries are made of lead acid. If they are not handled properly, they will cause great harm to the environment and the ecosystem.

The lithium-ion batteries used in Hotebike electric bicycles are becoming more and more widely recyclable. It is currently cheaper to mine lithium than to recycle it, but as lithium deposits decrease and the number of recycling facilities for this material increases, this fact will improve in the near future. One reason is that lithium has many other modern applications, including its use in the manufacture of mobile phones, tablets and laptops. Therefore, the more we recycle, the less we dig into the earth, and the less waste is caused by putting things in landfills.

Charging an electric bike

One might point out that compared to traditional bicycles, electric bicycles actually have a greater impact on the environment because they require charging. But the owner can alleviate this particular problem by simply using environmentally friendly energy.
Sustainable energy is becoming more and more popular. People across the country are adding wind and solar energy to their houses, reducing the load on the national grid system and our dependence on fossil fuels. If you use these power sources, these sustainable energy sources can easily meet the small amount of energy required to charge the battery of an electric bicycle.

What about electric cars?

Another electric technology that has become increasingly popular with the rise of electric bicycles is electric vehicles. Some people choose electric cars instead of riding electric bicycles or ordinary bicycles to work because it is an environmentally friendly alternative. Compared with ordinary cars, the environmental protection of electric cars cannot be underestimated, but how do electric cars compare with electric bicycles?

Vehicles that run solely on electricity do not emit any emissions. However, it is important to understand that there are two broad categories of vehicle emissions: direct emissions and life cycle emissions. Direct emissions are emissions generated during the use of vehicles. Life cycle emissions include all emissions related to vehicle production, processing, distribution, use and disposal. Having said that, although both electric vehicles and electric bicycles emit zero emissions, their life cycle emissions are all attributed to them. Both electric bicycles and electric vehicles are excellent green alternatives that can reduce the carbon footprint of users. However, in the side-by-side competition, electric bicycles have a much greater impact on the environment than electric vehicles.

A more environmentally friendly way to travel

Electric bicycles are touted as a more environmentally friendly and cleaner way to commute to and from get off work. However, we found that many of our customers—whether they were customers who bought them for leisure or commuting—are using their electric bikes to get to places where they used to use their cars. Whether it’s going to their favorite coffee shop for morning tea, riding a bike to the beach or going for a walk in a national park.

Once people discover how far and how easy they can ride an electric bike, they tend to ride an electric bike instead of driving to complete errands, visit local attractions, friends or family. All of this has further reduced the number of cars on the road, and the result has been accumulated on top of all the points raised before: road wear, reduced pollution levels, reduced congestion and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

There are two reasons why electric bicycles are more important than driving: 1. They can help improve your mental and physical health, 2. They are more environmentally friendly and basic than anything that needs to be supplemented with fossil fuels every week (and sometimes every day).
In the past ten years, all the focus has been on the environment. It is no wonder that riding an electric bike instead of using a vehicle has been widely promoted as a way we can all do our part to help save the planet.

Benefits of cycling:

1 Deepen sleep

Cycling early in the morning does make you feel sleepy temporarily, but at night, when your head is resting on the pillow, riding in the morning can improve the quality of sleep. Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine require sedentary patients with insomnia to cycle for 20-30 minutes every other day. The results of it? The time for these patients to fall asleep was reduced by half, and their sleep time was extended by nearly an hour.

2 looks younger

Regular cycling can protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation and slow down the signs of aging. Dr. Christopher Rowland Payne, a dermatologist on Harley Street, explained: “Through exercise, the circulation in the body is accelerated, which can more effectively deliver oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, and at the same time eliminate toxins. Exercise can also create an ideal in the body. The environment is optimized to optimize the production of collagen, thereby slowing down the production of wrinkles and accelerating the repair speed.” However, don’t forget to apply some 30x sunscreen before going out.

3 Promote intestinal peristalsis

The benefits of cycling can penetrate deep into the body. Physical exercise can shorten the time for food to pass through the large intestine, limit the absorption of water in the intestine, and ensure the smooth discharge of stool.
In addition, aerobic exercise can accelerate your breathing and heart rate, and stimulate the contraction of intestinal muscles. It can also avoid feeling swelling and pain, and prevent intestinal cancer.

4 Improve intelligence

For every 5% increase in cardiorespiratory function by cycling, it can increase by 15% in an intelligence test. This is because cycling can help the brain produce new brain cells in the memory area, which usually degenerates gradually from the age of 30.
It promotes the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, promotes and regenerates nerve endings, which is why exercise helps prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

5 defeat the disease

Now I can forget about the apple. I ride a bicycle every day, and the doctor stays away from me. “A degree of exercise can keep the immune cells active, and they will be ready to fight off infection at any time.
If you ride a bike for 30 minutes a day and stick to it for five days a week, you can reduce sick leave by half compared to those who lie at home and watch TV every day. Riding a bike is the real way to ignore the doctor

6 Longevity

Comparing more than 2,400 identical twins, it was found that those subjects who exercised the equivalent of three 45-minute rides a week would be nine years younger on the “biological index”, which still does not count other things such as body mass index (BMI) and smoking. And other factors.
Those who exercise regularly will significantly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, all kinds of cancer, high blood pressure and obesity, and the body becomes more efficient in self-defense and cell regeneration.

7 Eugenics

The fetus in the abdomen can get the same benefits from your riding. If the expectant mother regularly exercises regularly during pregnancy, it will make childbirth simpler and easier, the postpartum recovery will be faster, and there will be a better mental state during the nine-month pregnancy. You will also be proud and happy to find that the chance of postpartum obesity is also reduced by 50%, and neurodevelopment in the uterus will become better.
