Pedal your way to good health!
In the recent times oil and natural gas reserves are slowly getting exhausted. More and more countries have more and more people and in turn more andmore cars, Infact why cars alone, buses, scooters, motor cycles and so much more are seen on the streets. Each one of these vehicles is using some sort of fuel and digging further into the ‘fast becoming bankrupt ‘natural reserves reservoir.
Looking at some stats, a medium class household usually has a minimum of 2 cars. A high up well to do household has between 3 and five cars. Most of these houses also have one or more two wheelers, especially in countries where the Public transport systems are not well developed. And Even the public transport uses fuel. Well imagine the amount of fuel we are consuming and the pollution we are throwing into the air.
Looking at just these points, governments of several countries have debated. The solution that has been brought forward seems to be foot pedaled cycles or electric bikes. Countries like France, China and Australia have been promoting these battery powered bikes for a long time. UK has also joined in recently.
The Electric Bike is a normal pedal cycle that has a small battery powered motor. This motor runs at a constant or variable speed and lasts till the battery power does. These light Battery powered bikes are easy to park, create almost minimal pollution, and are easy to weave in and out of city traffic. Plus they bring in a feel good feeling too because by riding an electric bike, a person is also doing his / her bit to reduce pollution.
And should a person riding an Electric bike run out of charge, the solution is simple… Pedal your way to good health!
