1. E-bikes are only for people who can’t ride a regular bicycle: This is not true. E-bikes are designed to provide assistance while pedaling, making it easier to tackle challenging terrain, long distances, and headwinds.
2. E-bikes are too expensive: While e-bikes can be pricier than traditional bicycles, the cost has come down significantly in recent years. Moreover, e-bikes can often provide long-term savings over time by reducing the need for transportation costs and car maintenance.
3. E-bikes are heavy and difficult to handle: While some e-bikes can be heavy, many newer models are designed to be lightweight and easy to handle. Moreover, the electric assist makes it easier to control the bike and handle challenging terrain.
4. E-bikes have a limited range: The range of an e-bike depends on factors such as the battery size, riding conditions, and assist level. Many modern e-bikes can travel over 40 km on a single charge.
5. E-bikes are not environmentally friendly: While the production of e-bikes requires energy, the majority of the energy used during an e-bike ride comes from the rider's own pedaling, making it a much more environmentally friendly mode of transportation than cars or other motorized vehicles.
