Pedal-assist e-bikes are hot items these days, and for good reason: Just one try and you’ll be hooked. Here are 5 reasons to hop on the fun.

Bike with friends and family

With a pedal-assist e-bike, cyclists of all levels can explore routes that would otherwise be too challenging. Physical fitness level is no longer a barrier!

Stray off the beaten path

Why stick to paved routes when you can also tackle gravel paths – or even try mountain biking? Picturesque country roads and forest trails, here we come!

Commute the eco-friendly way

Put down the car keys and bike to work instead. Finally, an enjoyable commute that’s good for you and the planet. You’ll only work up a sweat if you choose to.

Get back in shape

Want to be more active? Here’s a gentler way to get started and keep at it – especially if you’re recovering from an injury or have physical limitations. Exerting less effort will also give you a nice boost of confidence.

Cover more distance

Even occasional cyclists can now tackle long routes. Like the beautiful 54-km Artria Cultural Loop, built on a former railway line connecting numerous urban and rural tourist attractions.
