If you're one of those "I could have been riding this 10 years ago" type of folks, you'll no doubt appreciate the benefits of folding electric bikes. Zip-around to your local shopping mall, zip into a train station, pop into a coffee shop for a quick break, or even pound the pavement and commute to work. All of these activities are now possible thanks to today's advanced technology. From lightweight folding machines to fully electric, motorized double-deckers, folding bicycles offer a host of advantages over traditional, heavier backpacks.
In past, there was only one option a severe cyclist was a heavy-duty mountain bike with a huge hub that jutted out behind the bike. This huge hub would be hooked up to a powerful but hefty (and loud) rear-wheel-drive motor usually located on the back of the bicycle. The engine would need to be recharged frequently, making the workout a bit too much for some types of lifestyles. Also, the constant pressure required to propel a bicycle often caused many to damage their teeth and wear the knobby tires out too quickly.
One of the significant advantages of today's innovative technology is the prospect of having Folding electric bikes on the market by 2021. A company called Cyclotricty has already developed a technology called Loop Folding electric bike that makes this possible. Loop Folding electric bike is a pair of foldable electronic transceivers that serve as sensors for the Folding electric bikes. When the motor is activated, the transmitter emits a signal that "flicks" the tailbone to cause the bike to fold up into a very compact, sleeker design. Since the tailbone acts as the hub of the Folding electric bikes, this allows the riders to fold the bike in just the right places to avoid cramping up.
The Cyclotricty technology also allows the rider to fold the electric motor off of one pedal to shorten the pedalling stroke. This also allows the rider to ride higher because the pedalling strokes will be much lighter. The increased speed of the Folding electric bikes is accomplished because the motor can deliver an increased amount of energy over a shorter period. The speed increase comes from the longer chainstays connected to the engine, which has more fuel.
Some of the other features available in the future include a protective cover for the front end of the Folding electric bike. The Folding electric mountain bike come with a simple plastic cover that protects the front part of the bicycle from the corrosive effects of road salt, dirt, and rain. However, there is a possibility that these protective covers will wear down too quickly due to the constant exposure to these chemicals. In addition, there may also be an increase in the case of oil spills that will cause the bike to become useless. Therefore, it is essential to have the front part of the bike made out of material that will withstand constant exposure to the chemicals.
Many of these modern bikes will also come fitted with a rear basket, which will allow the rider to bring their gear along with them on the rides. These could be anything from a mountain biking handlebar bag to another small item that would allow the riders to carry a picnic basket or a cooler. Either way, these items are usually an integral part of modern riding gear.
