Numerous advantages
One of its most popular uses is urban travel , in particular, to go to work efficiently, since compared to walking or a normal bike shortens the travel time (it can reach 25 km / h without pedaling), we don’t get tired and avoid traffic jams, so we can also get there earlier than by car.
In addition, it is a motorized vehicle that, contrary to what it might seem, does not need a driver’s license or registration, although its electric auxiliary motor makes it more feasible to use it to cover medium distances. Its autonomy is greater than 50 km with a single recharge, although depending on the model it can reach 100/120 km.
If compared to the classic bike it involves less effort, compared to a scooter, for example, it avoids gasoline. With both, on the other hand, it shares the advantage of not having to search for parking.
