The Electric Revolution: Why E-Cycles Are Changing the Game

Humans throughout history have never shied away from inventions. Whether it’s a bulb or a bicycle with no pedals (yes, you read that right), we have always been at the forefront of technology. The first e-cycle came into existence in the 18th century, American inventor Ogden Bolton Jr. was granted what appears to be the very first patent for a battery-powered bicycle. It featured a rear wheel hub motor, with a 10-volt battery, and a rear brake. Cut short to the 21st century, the world is struggling with an energy crisis and excessive pollution, so much so that places across the globe are experiencing the effects of global warming.

A quick IQAir search shows 6 Indian cities in the top 10 most polluted cities worldwide. With the EV push around the globe, electric cycles have taken the market by storm and for all the good reasons. Electric motorbikes and cars are expensive compared to their fossil fuel counterparts, but e-cycles fill this gap perfectly. The very first thought that would pop up in your mind is “it’s just a cycle, why should I pay so much?”, and that is where you are wrong.

Electric cycles are a different segment altogether, but what makes it stand out?
Let’s find out…

IT’S FOR EVERYONE 

Whether you’re a seasonal rider or a seasoned one, if you are 80 years old or a 12-year-old kid, an electric cycle is for everyone, everything and every being. The pedal assist technology makes it easier on the joints, the long range of the e-cycles makes it enticing for the traveller in you, the quick battery charge makes it easier on the impatient you, the accelerator keeps the adrenaline junkie in you high, and if you are someone who just wants to switch off the everyday boring routine of getting stuck in the traffic, e-cycles are the way to go. Don’t just commute, commute better. 

YOU GET A BIGGER HEART 

Not literally, but yeah…you are always on top of your fitness game with an e-cycle. Though it’s an aerobic activity, our heart, blood vessels and lungs all get a workout. You will breathe deeper, perspire and experience increased body temperature, which will improve your overall fitness level. To top it off, you burn calories anywhere from 300-1000 and get a stronger core and legs. If you do not want to break a sweat, just pull the throttle…if your inner fitness freak wants to push more, just pedal away, it never gets any easier than this.

IT’S NOT A CYCLE
Looks like one? Yes, but it isn’t the same. Electric cycles are a different category altogether because they make commuting accessible to everyone, unlike traditional bicycles, which are not so easy for newcomers. Consider it a segment below electric motorbikes, or the entry segment in the EV sector because that is exactly what it is. It’s not expensive when you look at it from that point of view. Want to explore the cities or stop by your favourite cafe on the way to work without getting late? You can do that. 

SAVING YOU AND THE PLANET
We all know the health benefits of the electric cycles, but it also has a tremendous effect on the planet. For starters, it runs on a battery so say goodbye to the long fuel queues. Their use prevents the release of roughly 500 pounds of carbon emissions into the atmosphere, making it an efficient zero-emission vehicle. The batteries are long-lasting and can be recycled, so it’s a win-win. Lithium-ion batteries do not contain lead unlike most car batteries, which is another beneficial factor to consider. It’s eco-friendly, quieter, and doesn’t take up much space on the road which works great for cities battling traffic congestion. Who wouldn’t want to breathe better, eh? 

IT’S FOR EVERYTHING

Want to go pick up some groceries? Do deliveries? Commute every day without breaking a sweat? Electric cycles can do everything. Whether it is the off-road terrains that entice you or the beautiful hidden gems of the city you live in, electric cycles make pedalling not just fun, it straight out makes it amazing. If you’re someone who wants to commute and off-road, there are hybrid electric cycles, if you are someone who wants to ride on every terrain there is, you have ATBs too, there’s an e-cycle for everything, and everyone! It’s not just a ride, it’s an adventure that takes you on a new journey every time. 

Electric cycles are changing the face of travel and mobility and for a very good reason. It’s not just a solution for the climate crisis across the globe, it’s the way to move forward with everyone and everything, without compromising on anything.

Why did Ron Miscavige leave Scientology?

On a March day in 2012, Ron Miscavige out of the blue left Golden Era Productions where he was working as a trumpet player in the Church of Scientology’s band without a single word to his co-workers or band mates. These were the very people he had worked with for nearly thirty years. Not a phone call, a letter or even a single goodbye to any of them before or since.   Four years later to make a buck off the name and accomplishments of his son, Ron concocted a tale and all of a sudden his Sunday afternoon drive became the “Great Escape,” made all the more absurd by the fact that the car he drove off in was gifted to him by his son. The truth is he drove through the gate he’d passed through every day for years down the State Highway he’d traveled thousands of times.   See what really happened and the real “drama” that transpired. Retrace the exact route Ron took, drive out the same gate he did and turn onto the same State Highway. See what Golden Era Productions looks like on a ...
