Why Electric Bike Kits Are Becoming More Popular

By Garrick Baxter

The electric bike kit is a conversion equipment with battery powered electric motor that is used to convert a bicycle to an electric bike. The battery is rechargeable by simply plugging to the main electricity supply. Riding an electric bike is simple. You keep peddling until the electric motor kicks in. Then enjoy a stress free ride.

Personally, I believe that in these times of recession, one ought to prefer buying an electric bike conversion kit rather than opting for a brand new electric bike. This decision hs mant dvntages. One of them is that, this conersion kit is very cheap. Instead of spending a huge amount of money on electric bike, I would simply convert my bicycle to n electric one. I don't need fuel to power my bike. When it runs down I recharge and ride on.

Buying a conversion kit gives you a wider range of choice to suit your lifestyle. Bicycle manufactures are numerous compared to electric bike manufacturers, who are few. Any brand of bicycle can be converted.

An electric bike kit has another advantage. The electric bike is heavier than a bicycle converted to an electric bike. This makes riding very easy and comfortable.

The electric bike is recommendable for physical fitness exercises. If you are overweight and needs to burn some calories you can as well get an electric bike conversion kit. This kind of exercise mixed with pleasure can be very effective for management of certain ailments including hypertension, diabetes and arthritis.

The electric bike is a time saving machine for short distance trips. You don't need to waste time in the traffic, since any available space will get you through. During rush hours you can make use of your electric bike instead of wasting time, fuel and energy using a car. You don't even need a packing space.

In conclusion, implementing a conversion kit for your electric bike is more economical than purchasing a new electric bike. You simply buy an electric bike kit, install it on your bicycle and enjoy your ride. - 32193

Bicycles For Free - Where You Can Find Free Bicycles

By Garrett Brock

You can't get any cheaper than free! If you have been holding out on getting a bike because you don't have the money, then you have been waiting for no reason. It isn't hard at all to find a free bike. People give away bikes all the time, or worse, people sometimes even throw away their perfectly use-able bikes.

Every year, people give away their bikes because they don't need or want them anymore. This year you can be the person that benefits from someone else giving away their used bike.

The Internet is a great place to start your search for a free bicycle. There are two web sites in general that should be checked for bicycles that are being given away near you. Of course, you'll find much more free stuff being given away than just bicycles, so you should definitely check these out even if you don't want a free bicycle!

Freecycle.org - Join the group for your area and you'll be able to see all the free bikes (if there are any) and other stuff being given away around you. If you have stuff to give away, you can post it on here too. I gave away a skateboard that I wasn't using on Freecycle, and the kids that got it freaked out because they were so excited! It was a great feeling to give away something I wasn't using anymore to someone I knew would enjoy it!

The next site to check for free bicycles is Craigslist.com. This is a very popular site that is used by tons of people. While I like Freecycle.org because it focuses only on free stuff, Craigslist.com is used for much more than finding things being given away. Again, it depends on where you live, but for people living in or near a populated city, you should be able to eventually find someone that is giving away a bicycle on Craigslist.com. The "Free" section is located in the "For Sale" area.

Those are two great sites that you can often find a free bicycle on. If you can't find one right away, check back later, as you never know when someone will decide to give away their bicycle! - 32193
