Why buy an e-bike?

There are several reasons to buy an e-bike:

  1. Easy to use: the pedal assistance makes riding easier and more comfortable, especially uphill.
  2. Savings: Reduce costs for petrol or public transport and help save money on the purchase of a car.
  3. Ecological: it is a means of transport with zero emissions, helping to reduce the environmental impact.
  4. Health: Active cycling improves fitness and general health.

What is the age allowed to ride an e-bike?
