Besides everything you already know (or do not know) about EVs, there are one or two things electric bikes can teach you about success. By the time you are through with this short article, you will find out what those two things are on top of everything else you're about to learn about electric bikes.

But first of all, what is an electric bike?

An electric bike is exactly what the term sounds like; a motorized bike, which is a modern upgrade from the traditional gas- or limbs and sweat-powered bikes. There are various types of electric bikes, but their main defining factor is that they are bike versions equipped with battery-powered motors to assist propulsion.

Types of Electric Bikes

While there are various types of electric bikes designed to suit diverse riders with varying riding needs, all e-bike designs fall within two categories: a

Pedal Assist E-Bikes

This class of electric bikes is designed to provide motorized assistance until the bike reaches 20 mph (or 28 mph in specific pedal-assist models with a speedometer) and then stops.

Throttle Only E-Bikes

This class of e-bikes comes equipped with a throttle that provides propulsion but stops when the bike reaches 20 mph.

Should You Get an Electric Bike?

The more apt question is, do you ride? You do? Dear God, you have many reasons to switch to an e-bike. Why do you think cycling causes such health issues as LUTS, ED, genital numbness, infertility, priapism, etc.? It’s the pedaling, of course. Switching to e-bikes can greatly reduce the risk of such health issues even when the bike saddle is not so comfy.

Finally, there are two life lessons we can learn from electric bikes:

1.      Two is better than one: Aye, synergy, like the electric motor assists mechanical pedaling in e-bikes, results in improved efficiency. You can take that to the bank at any time.

2.      Faster acceleration leads to a shorter journey: EVs accelerate much faster than traditional vehicles. E-bikes can achieve a speed of up to 45 km/h, a significant milestone a cyclist is less likely to achieve with just pedaling. While speed comes with risk, so does success in life.

Research Study Links Schizophrenia to Marijuana Misuse

Image
  Cases of schizophrenia associated with marijuana misuse have seen a steady rise over the past two decades, according to a new study from Denmark published in the medical journal JAMA Psychiatry . The Oxford Dictionary describes schizophrenia as a long-term mental disorder of a type involving a breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion, and behavior, leading to faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings, withdrawal from reality and personal relationships into fantasy and delusion, and a sense of mental fragmentation. The study based on data from Denmark's national health registry and included all people in Denmark born before December 31, 2000, who were 16 years or older at some point from January 1, 1972, to December 31, 2016, shows a steady increase in cannabis-involved schizophrenia diagnosis in the country since 1995, spiking from 2% to 8%. Marijuana misuse and schizophrenia have one thing in common; psychosis. Psychosis is a disconnection with realit...

Tragic Aftermath of Recent Conflict: Israeli Residents and Hamas Militants Found Amongst Devastation

Image
  In the aftermath of the recent conflict between Israeli forces and Hamas militants, a scene of profound devastation unfolded at the Kfar Aza kibbutz. Among the smoldering ruins of houses, scattered furniture, and burnt-out cars, the bodies of both Israeli residents and Hamas militants lay strewn about, while Israeli soldiers meticulously worked to recover the deceased. Israeli Defence Forces, accompanied by foreign press representatives, toured the site of Kfar Aza, which bore the brunt of the attacks launched by Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip. On this somber Tuesday, the pungent odor of death hung heavy in the air as reporters traversed the once-tranquil paths of the kibbutz. Major General Itai Veruv of the Israeli military poignantly remarked, "You see the babies, the mothers, the fathers, in their bedrooms, in their protection rooms and how the terrorists killed them. It's not a war, it's not a battlefield. It's a massacre, it's a terror activity." T...
