Real cyclists used to scoff at E-bikes. Toys for tech geeks or senior riders, they said.

But check it out. Look around. There’s an E-bike revolution underway, helping to push alternative mobility infrastructure to the forefront. Sleek e-bike racks have replaced old-fashioned bike-shares. Walmart has an e-bike shop. Roads and bike lanes have given way to new technology. And e-bikes have begun to bridge the divide between “them” and “us”. Now recreational, senior and not so fit riders can climb hills and explore a city as easily as someone who has trained for the Tour de France. Well, almost.

In 2019, over 423,000 E-bikes sold in the Netherlands. In 2020, Germany sold over 2 million. During the pandemic, e-bike sales increased by 240 percent! Now you plonk down just $500 at Walmart or $5,000 for a spiffy Dutch version and be part of the wave. Whatever you do, E-bikes are here to stay.

We love bikes. We own six. Real ones, without batteries attached. One for trail riding, a couple for city-riding, one that folds into a suitcase and a few more for display. We used to think e-bikes were cheating. Now, we’re just itching to buy one.
