hy? Because with an elec- tric bike you can enjoy all the freedom and benefits


of cycling – with a helping hand along the way! So, less effort, more miles but all the health and fitness advantages of life on two wheels. Here at The Trading Post we now stock a range of e-bikes so finding out more couldn’t be easier; just pop into the shop and have a look. And don’t think riding an electric bike is cheating – you still have to pedal (so you are still burning away those calories) but it is just a bit easier than riding a normal bike. Although riding an electric bike is generally considered ‘mild’ exercise, regular use will still improve your cardiovas- cular fitness – with benefits for your heart, lungs, and blood pressure – and, because of that ‘helping hand’, riders can choose to cover greater distances, cycle for longer periods and attempt more ambitious terrain. Indeed, researchers have been sur- prised at the level of exercise regular e-bike riders achieve with their cycles. E-bikes are often more comfortable

(another reason why cyclists are hap- py to stay in the saddle for longer!) and hills become a positive pleasure. No more dismounting to push – mod- erate hills can be easily accomplished with only moderate pedalling but the e-bike really comes into its own on steep hills or when riding into strong headwinds. Perfect for exploring the undulating and sometimes challenging Devon countryside and coastlines.


But these are all personal benefits


– what about the environment? Elec- tric bicycles offer a wonderful means of transportation and recreation without adding to air contamination; deliver no CO2 emissions; help us reduce our ecological footprints, and provide an inexpensive alternative to motor vehicles. Why not check out a healthier lifestyle for everyone – you, your family, and the planet? Only a few legal requirements


to remember – there are limits on maximum motor output and speed; e-bikes must have fully operable pedals but no driver’s licence, vehicle insurance, or vehicle registration is


required; and they cannot be operat- ed by anyone under the age of 12. As your local expert dealer we are more than happy to advise you on all you need to know to get you started. Call us to book a test ride before you buy. The only thing limiting you is the


life of your battery but, as all the electric bikes available through The Trading Post offer a range of between 80 to 110 miles, it’s time to get the maps out and start exploring the parts other bicycles cannot reach!
