Is an electric bike a good Christmas gift idea?
The second half of November is the time when most of us look intensively for Christmas presents for our loved ones. After all, it's not easy to find the perfect Christmas present. We live in a time where a large part of us already has everything we need. So how do you surprise a loved one with a truly unique gift?
Something functional
Admit it. How many of you have accidentally found a pair of warm socks, a pack of underwear or a hot water bottle under the Christmas tree? Certainly many. There are people who like to give functional gifts. Gifts that serve the recipient every day and make their life unobtrusive, but sometimes also significantly more pleasant. Do we happily accept such gifts? Unfortunately, this is not the case for most of us. However, there are functional items that can make everyone's life easier and bring a lot of joy at the same time. Electric bikes are exactly that kind of thing.
An electric bike tailored to the recipient's needs is a perfect gift for anyone. It allows you to change your lifestyle in a more active and ecological way. Thanks to an e-bike, you can no longer make your daily journey to work, school or shopping by car and therefore:
- Saving time by avoiding traffic jams
Commuting by car during city rush hour takes a lot of time, even if your destination is within 10 km. With an electric bike you can ride on a bike path or, if there isn't one, on the road. This way you can avoid traffic jams and get to your destination faster. At the same time, you don't have to worry about coming to work or a meeting in sweaty clothes. The electric assistance increases your performance and ensures that you reach high speeds without too much effort.
- take care of your health
Riding an electric bike, even if assisted by an electric motor, is still cycling, i.e. h. Sport. And a daily dose of exercise has a positive effect on our well-being and health. Physical activity helps us reduce stress, forget about problems, strengthens our immune system and reduces the risk of illness. It's also important to emphasize something that many people forget: an e-bike can be used in the same way as a traditional bicycle. Simply turn off the power steering and rely on your own legs.
- save money
The electric bikes do not require insurance and are powered by batteries that can be charged at home using the chargers provided. A trip of 100 km on an electric bike costs no more than PLN 1. Incomparably cheaper than traveling by car, right? In addition, you can park your bike anywhere. In the center of a big city this is a really big advantage! You no longer have to drive through the city center looking for a parking space. You no longer have to pay traffic tickets.
- vibrant green
We all know how important it is to live an ecological lifestyle these days. However, sometimes it's not easy to give up your habits. E-bikes are here to help. When using an e-bike, around 12 times fewer grams of CO2 are emitted per person and kilometer traveled than a car.
Who should I give an e-bike to?
An electric bike is a gift for everyone because everyone will appreciate the independence and freedom that comes with using such a two-wheeler. However, there are groups of people who will enjoy the e-bike under the Christmas tree the most. They include:
- seniors
Every senior wants to be active and independent. An elderly person can go shopping every day on a suitable electric bike. The e-bike makes it easier to transport purchased products and avoid long walks or journeys on crowded public transport. Riding an electric bike does not put strain on the senior's joints and is not as tiring for him as riding a conventional bike. We recommend the foldable JOBOBIKE SAM as an electric bike for seniors.
- Residents of large cities who work in offices
Commuting to work in a big city is often not the easiest. Traffic jams, delays and crowds on public transport must be expected. An electric bike is a means of transportation that guarantees independence and outdoor capability. We don't have to worry about our clothes either. We can go to work in a suit or elegant dress because thanks to the electrical support we don't get tired or sweat. The electric bikes we recommend for the city are JOBOBIKE LINDA, JOBOBIKE LYON, JOBOBIKE VIVA and JOBOBIKE SAM.
- villagers
Living in the country has many advantages. There is peace and quiet, which allows you to draw energy from the surrounding nature. Unfortunately, when deciding to live in the country you have to take into account that everything is far away. There is also no public transport in the villages. Even a short trip to the shop involves starting the car, which causes fuel costs, disruption of the peace and negative effects of exhaust fumes on the environment.
With an electric bike, city dwellers can move around the neighborhood quickly and in an environmentally friendly way without much effort. Recommended bikes for villagers are JOBOBIKE ROBIN, JOBOBIKE EDDY and JOBOBIKE EDDY X.
- Lover of driving in the mountains
The most fun in mountain biking is of course going downhill. However, in order to enjoy the wind in your hair going downhill, you first have to go uphill. This requires a lot of force when pedaling. Electric mountain bikes make mountain riding accessible to almost everyone. Fans of this sport will also appreciate the power of the electric motor, which supports them on steep climbs. On an electric bike you ride uphill faster and therefore “count” more hills during a bike ride. And more climbs mean more fun! For lovers of mountain madness, we recommend the JOBOBIKE BRUNO electric MTB bike.
An electric bike is a great idea for a Christmas present. Anyone who gets an e-bike will certainly appreciate its functionality. So if you want to make your loved one happy, give them an e-bike that is tailored precisely to their needs. We invite you to visit our various test ride locations throughout Germany and see for yourself before you buy.
