7 awesome electric bikes that will have you zooming across the city in 2019
Maybe it is time to upgrade your bike. Bikes themselves are some of the World’s most popular forms of transportation. Right now there are well over 2 billion bikes around the world and by 2050 that number could reach as high as 5 billion by 2050. And why not? Bikes are a convenient, healthy, cheap, and eco-friendly way to get from point A to B.
Interestingly, more than 50% of people actually know how to ride a bike, using them at least a few times a week. However, the bike market is beginning to change. Electric bikes have seen a huge rise in popularity with no indication of slowing down.
Electric Bikes
Electric bikes all have their different features and tech, but most of them have been created with the same engineering in mind. Most electric bikes have an electric motor built into the hub of the back or front wheel, powering the bike to accelerate. The acceleration is usually controlled by some trigger on the handlebars of the bike.
Electric bikes or e-bikes are an even more efficient and easy-to-use way to get around the city; a cousin to the motorcycle without all the danger. If you are looking to upgrade your traditional bike with an electric bike then this list is for you.
Here are some of the coolest electric bikes on the market; the perfect way to start off your 2019.

Rather than have the motor on the rear wheel, the bike has the motor placed on the center allowing for more power and control through the gear system. The e-bike's carbon fiber body only weighs around 4lbs but with a 2.3kW electric motor and lithium-ion battery, the bike's total weight is 24 lbs (11kg).
