The e-bike is therefore the fastest mode of transport in town, except for the scooter or motorbike with an average speed of 20 km\/h.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The e-bike is more economical than other means of transport<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Except for the traditional bike, the e-bike is the most economical mode of transport. Its energy consumption is 8 times lower than that of a scooter and 70 times lower than a car&rsquo;s. The <strong>electric bike<\/strong> uses 1 kWh for a 100 km trip, i.e. \u20ac0.1.

However, this type of two-wheeler requires less effort thanks to the electric assistance that boosts pedalling. Riding an e-bike is ideal as a moderate physical activity since it demands less cardiac and muscular effort. It allows elderly or reduced-mobility people to exercise gently. The e-bike also lets a rider cycle and cover long journeys without violent physical effort.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The e-bike is a means of transport for all kinds of topography<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fast and easy to handle compared with a classic bike, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.power-e-bike.fr\/fr\/velo-electrique\"><u>electric bike<\/u><\/a> offers pedalling comfort and ease of riding on all kinds of topography.
