Outback Bikes

Right around that world-saving fantasy is when real life knocks: maybe your office is too far and you don’t want to get too sweaty before your nine o’clock meeting. And of course there’s that hill on Market Street. There are often barriers to getting out on two wheels, but the right electric bicycle can sail right through them. Whether you’re longing for an electric mountain bike to tackle terrain that might otherwise be too challenging, or a slick commuter e-bike to carry you through rush-hour traffic, there’s an option just for you. Technological advancements have made electric bikes some of the most efficient people-moving devices, period. And that’s before you even factor in the fun of riding a bike! Whatever hurdles stand between you and a go-by-bike lifestyle, an e-bike might be just the thing you need to toss the car keys aside for good.

The modern e-bike emphasizes the bike part of its name, creating a true cycling experience that adds variable amounts of assistance to the power you create yourself. These systems are usually either cadence or torque sensitive, so they automatically engage once you put the “pedal to the metal,” so to speak.

Modern pedelecs deliver a smooth, natural riding experience. So that tricky hill? That long commute? The electric bike makes quick work of these, turning a problem into a fun adventure. Perhaps you’re just not the spring chicken you once were and a long, hilly ride is out of the question on a traditional bike. The electric motor doesn’t remove exercise from the ride: it helps riders of all ages and ability levels go further and faster, even while tackling tough terrain.
