Can e-bikes bring more riders?
So, can e-bikes bring more riders? At least one highly influential industry leader believes so.
Mike Sinyard, the founder and owner of Specialized, who himself played a gigantic role in bringing mountain bikes to the world, thinks e-bikes might get more people on bicycles.
While at a recent e-bike launch, Sinyard noted that, “Just like the original mountain bike, e-bikes can bring a lot more people in.”
Supporters of e-bikes often tout their usefulness for people who may be older, or disabled, or not as strong as their partner but still want to ride with them. Those are all fantastic uses, but they somewhat focus on only the current demographic already interested in bikes.
What about those people completely apathetic towards cycling in general? How does the bike world get their attention?
People can and will start paying attention when the bicycle switches from a solely recreational machine to an actual transportation device.
Think about it in terms of cars. How many people would buy cars if they were merely used for fun and not everyday chores and transportation?
E-bikes can fill that gap because they remove almost all of the worn out excuses for not riding a bike.
