It is often a lack of athleticism at the beginning that prevents people from taking up a bicycle at all. With an electric bike, everyone can exercise, protect the environment and gradually build up their fitness in a healthy way.<br \/>\n<!--more-->\n<\/p>\n<p>An auxiliary motor is particularly useful on hills and provides an extra boost. How much help you need can be regulated with a control unit on the handlebars.<\/p>\n<p>On average, an electric bike 30% saves leg power compared to a normal bike. The cyclist's heart rate also increases by 20 to 30 beats per minute less. An electric bike is therefore a good alternative for untrained people, overweight people, senior citizens or people with cardiovascular problems or knee problems. However, as the electric bike is also physically demanding, medical advice is recommended.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that you can set the push force yourself means that you can work on your condition step by step and improve it gently.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An electric bike is also popular for the daily commute to work, because you can ride in a suit and hardly break a sweat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 15px; font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: #858586;\">\n<\/p>\n<p>Die-hard cyclists like to say that an electric bike is \"cheating\". But you should remain unimpressed. It's better to train gently with a bit of \"cheating\" and enjoy nature than to miss out on the pleasure completely. Anyone who makes fun of people with electric bikes is narrow-minded. Electric bikes are becoming increasingly popular. In 2011, four per cent of all bikes sold in Germany were electric bikes. This represents an increase of 55% compared to 2010.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pedelecs-25 and Pedelecs-45<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pedelecs-25 are electric bicycles whose auxiliary motor switches off automatically when a speed of 25 km\/h is exceeded.<\/p>\n<p>Pedelecs-45 allow the rider to accelerate up to 45 km\/h and are therefore legally classed as mopeds. People born after 30 March 1965 need a moped driving licence for mopeds. Pedelecs-45 must also have liability insurance and a licence plate.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to look out for in a good electric bike<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Battery<\/p>\n<p>The average range of the battery should be around 50 kilometres. This means that a distance of up to 100 km can be achieved without a headwind and on straight stretches.<\/p>\n<p>The performance of the battery decreases after 300 to 500 charges. A good battery should have a two-year guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Control unit<\/p>\n<p>The control unit is important for power adjustment. It allows you to regulate how much assistance you want from the motor. A good control unit has several power levels and indicates how long the battery will last.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Frame<\/p>\n<p>A good bicycle frame must be stable without being too heavy. A good guideline is a weight of 20 to 25 kg (unloaded). The frame should also have a ten-year guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Engine<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the model, the auxiliary motor is located on the front wheel, rear wheel or on the axle. A front motor is more suitable for hilly terrain. The desired power output of the motor depends on individual requirements. If you mainly want to improve your fitness, you will need a less powerful model. People with health problems should look for more powerful support from the motor.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Photo above: Petar Milo\u0161evi\u0107<\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electric bicycles (pedelecs-25) have an electric assist motor that makes cycling easier for less trained people.
