"More Australians than ever are riding electric bikes – a fact you may have
noticed on the streets of our cities and towns.

Electric bikes, or e-bikes, are typically equipped with an electric motor and a
battery, providing power to help you pedal. Some allow you to boost and lower
the amount of pedalling assistance you get.

Globally, the transport sector produces about one-quarter of greenhouse gas
emissions. Finding cleaner ways to get around is vital to combating the climate
crisis. E-bikes also offer solutions to the problems of traffic congestion,
fuel costs and sedentary lifestyles.

But is an electric bike right for you? Below, we discuss the pros and cons, to
help you decide."
