National E-Bike Day is a newly established and sponsored holiday created by Lectric eBikes to encourage people to ride their e-bikes or convert to electric transportation. E-bikes are a fun, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective mode of transportation for individuals and families, whether for a short pleasure ride or an exciting commute to work. In recent years, they have grown in popularity in the United States as people seek affordable and environmentally favourable transportation options. This holiday not only encourages people to enjoy the benefits of e-biking, but also honours the industry’s efforts to revolutionise the way people move around the globe.
The background of National E-Bike Day
This is a novel holiday despite the fact that e-bikes have existed since 1895. Yes, that is correct! Ogden Bolton Jr. received the first U.S. patent for an e-bike in 1895 for his invention of a battery-powered electric bicycle with a hub motor mounted near the rear tyre. Hosea W. Libby was inspired by a spark of innovation to construct an e-bike with a double electric motor placed within the crankiest axle hub, which can be found in some e-bike models today. The Pedal Electric Cycle, now known as pedal-assist, was implemented into e-bikes nearly a century later. This altered the design of e-bikes, allowing motorcyclists to activate the motor with either the traditional throttle or by pedalling. Today, e-bikes are extremely popular, as evidenced by the fact that their global sales have surpassed those of electric and hybrid vehicles over the past two years and are expected to increase.
Lectric eBikes was founded on the premise of altering the manner in which people travel. The solution was to create the best e-bike at the best price, with a focus on providing the best value per dollar, simplicity of use through pre-assembled shipping, and superior customer service before, during, and after the purchase. Since 2019, Lectric has sold more than 300,000 e-bikes by placing the customer’s satisfaction and value first. Lectric eBikes is proud to establish and sponsor National E-Bike Day in honour of this accomplishment and the collective efforts of the entire e-bike industry.
