Germany
In recent years , e-bikes have transformed from a niche product into a genuine trend in Germany. More and more people are switching to electric bicycles – and for good reason. But why ride an e-bike in the first place?
1. Sustainable mobility for everyday life
Climate protection and sustainable mobility are issues that affect us all. An e-bike is an environmentally friendly alternative to the car, especially for short and medium distances. Instead of using gasoline, you travel with electric assistance, producing low emissions and thus making an active contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions.
In the German and European context, a car typically emits 150–180 g CO₂e per kilometer ( source: German Federal Environment Agency ). An e-bike emits only around 15–17 g CO₂e/km ( source: European Cyclists' Federation ), a bicycle 16–25 g CO₂e/km – depending on the rider's diet ( source: Our World in Data ), and walking around 50–60 g CO₂e/km ( source: Our World in Data ).
This makes the e-bike one of the most climate-friendly options for everyday use – especially for short and medium distances.
2. More flexibility and comfort
Anyone who's ever ridden an e-bike knows: it's simply fun! The electric motor assists with pedaling, making even longer rides or steep climbs effortless. Especially in cities, where traffic jams and parking problems are commonplace, the e-bike is a convenient alternative.
Furthermore, cycling often saves considerable time in city traffic. According to a study by the ADAC (German Automobile Club), bicycles and e-bikes are on average faster than cars on journeys of up to 5 kilometers in heavy rush-hour traffic – especially in city centers, where traffic jams significantly slow down drivers. A study by the German Federal Environment Agency also shows that on short journeys of 3–7 kilometers, cyclists and e-bike users often need 20–30% less time than drivers when parking and traffic jams are taken into account.
This means the e-bike combines not only comfort and flexibility, but also a real time advantage in everyday urban life.
3. Promote health – without overexerting yourself
Many people associate e-bikes primarily with "comfortable riding." But in reality, they combine fitness with everyday practicality. You stay active without completely exhausting yourself. Commuters, in particular, benefit from arriving at work without being sweaty.
Furthermore, e-bikes are particularly easy on the knees . Thanks to the electric assistance, the joints are relieved of stress, which is a great advantage, especially for people with knee problems or for older riders. The smooth, even pedaling significantly reduces the strain compared to a conventional bicycle.
Legally, e-bikes in Germany are also designed with health and exercise in mind: According to EU regulations, a pedelec (up to 25 km/h, max. 250 watts motor power) is only considered a bicycle if the electric assistance is activated exclusively while pedaling. This means: no pedaling, no motor assistance . This ensures that riders are actively involved in the exercise and that the e-bike contributes to daily fitness.
