At Zinn Cycles, we believe in keeping up with every aspect of the cycling world ㅡ and that includes electric bikes. Ever since Lennard Zinn, our founder, was limited to short, slow rides by his heart problems, he’s been searching for a way to get back on the horse… uh, bike. Electric bikes have come a long way from those bulky roadside rentals; they now have a lot more benefits to offer.
If you want to learn about the benefits of electric bikes, and how Zinn Cycles is taking them to the next level, read this blog post.
1. Better for losing weight
The science of working out is constantly evolving, but one thing we’ve learned is that getting your heart rate up too fast can be unsustainable and only burns fast carbs. For better workouts that are challenging for your heart and focus on burning fat, you want to get your heart rate up slowly and keep it up at a moderate rate over the long term. Read more about heart rate training zones.
One of the benefits of electric bikes is more control over your exertion and effort. If your heart starts pumping a little too hard, it’s easy to switch to a higher level of pedal assist.
2. More Inclusivity
Inclusivity has always been part of the mission at Zinn Cycles. We’ve worked our hardest to accommodate riders who can’t find comfortable bikes due to their height and/or weight. We’ve taken on custom bikes for big and tall riders, super short riders, and riders with injuries or chronic pain.
Now, we can take our inclusivity even further by making riding accessible for nearly everyone! Whether you want to cycle but feel like you’re “too heavy” to start or you’re older and your physical fitness just isn’t what it used to be, one of the benefits of electric bikes is that you can rely on the motor to help pick up the slack
When you can reduce your pedaling effort by switching to a higher assist level from the motor, you have so much more comfort, control, and confidence to just get out on the road. Don’t let illness and injury hold you back! Let an ebike benefit you and your health.
3. Custom Options
Zinn Cycles is always ahead of the curve when it comes to the cycling industry. In fact, we already revolutionized the custom bike world with our design philosophy. So, it’s no surprise that we’re one of the only brands making custom ebikes to meet our customers’ needs. Just like every other type of bike, an ebike must be made to fit its rider. Standard sizes aren’t always ideal for riders with unique proportions and can result in discomfort, injury, and lack of motivation to ride.
At Zinn Cycles, we want everyone to experience the benefits of electric bicycles, regardless of height or weight. From the tallest to the smallest, we’re here to make perfectly fitting, custom lightweight ebikes for everyone!
Work with us on your measurements and get an ebike with a titanium frame that is 10-20 pounds lighter on average than any other ebike you can buy. We’ve also chosen to modify the standard battery option with one of the best ones available on the market to ensure you can get 40-60 miles more out of every ride. Even better, we can create lightweight ebikes for every kind of terrain. From mountain biking and touring to gravel bikes, each of them comes in an ebike form.
4. Take On More Challenges
Just like the benefits of electric bikes for the elderly and those with otherwise limited mobility, an ebike can help competitive cyclists by offering a moderate workout for active recovery days. You know that your limits might preclude you from doing that crazy steep mountain trail, but with the support of an ebike, you might have the confidence to take it on! Ride harder, longer, and stronger when you know that you have a backup when you get a little too tired to carry on.
5. Alternative Transportation
The last ebike benefit isn’t fitness-oriented at all; it’s about making our world a better place to live. You can use an ebike as an alternative to gas transportation for a more eco-friendly lifestyle and arrive at work after riding there without being sweaty and needing a shower. Reduce your carbon footprint, get a great workout, and inspire others to take the big leap into the cycling world when you choose an ebike!
