What Is An E-Bike? Here's Everything You Need to Know
The first thing you should know about e-bikes is that they're here to stay. Electric bicycle ;sales jumped by an incredible 145 percent from 2019 to 2020 alone, according to the market research firm NPD Group. It's a nearly $244 billion industry as of last year, and there's no sign of a slowdown.
Some view the rise of e-bikes as a threat, as though standard bikes will go the way of the penny-farthing once everyone goes electric. But fear not: E-bikes aren't here to rob us of our human-powered way of life. In fact, they may very well enhance it—especially as travel and commuting habits change following the global pandemic and the shift of work commuting. So as we roll our way into peak riding season, here's everything you need to know about the electric revolution.
Generally speaking, e-bikes are bicycles with a battery-powered “assist” that comes via pedaling and, in some cases, a throttle. When you push the pedals on a pedal-assist e-bike, a small motor engages and gives you a boost, so you can zip up hills and cruise over tough terrain without gassing yourself.
In addition to the pedal-assist feature, some e-bikes come with a throttle that engages the motor with the press of a button. These belong to a separate class of e-bikes that, obviously, don't offer a pure cycling experience; they’re also illegal in some municipalities. Interestingly, Benjamin says, people who aren’t already “cyclists” tend to gravitate toward throttle bikes at first, but then turn around and choose a pedal assist for their next purchase.
Ultimate Guide to Electric Scooters
This is the definitive guide to a single motor electric scooter. ;It is a starting point for all information about their history, different components, commuting, laws, safety, maintenance, and scooter sharing.
Electric kick scooters, like the Razor kick scooters of the 1990s, have two wheels, a platform called a deck, and handlebars for steering. They differ from the unmotorized kick scooters of the 90s due to the addition of a battery, electronics, larger (often air-filled) tires, and an electric motor.
Though the majority of Single Motor Electric Scooters are intended to be ridden while standing on the deck, some scooters can be converted into seated electric scooters with optional accessories. ;
Electric Scooters For Adults
Adult electric scooters are the most common type of scooter available on the market. They differ from electric scooters intended for children because they have a larger weight capacity, typically around 220 lbs (100 kg), more powerful motors, larger battery, larger deck, and a taller stem. ; ;
A typical adult scooter weighs under 30 lbs, has a 250-watt motor, a 250 watt-hour lithium-ion battery, has a top speed of 15 mph, a range of 10 miles, and costs around $500.
Electric Scooters For Kids
Electric scooters intended for kids or teens are typically smaller, lighter, and less expensive than their adult counterparts. ; They are often made of less durable materials such as plastic, have weak motors, and may even contain low energy density lead-acid batteries.
It is worth noting that children’s electric scooters aren’t typically much more than toys and should be used as such. ; They shouldn’t be used for riding on public roads or ridden by adults.
A typical children’s electric scooter weighs around 20 lbs, has a 150-watt motor, 100 watt-hour battery (either sealed lead acid or lithium-ion), a range of 3 miles, and costs around $200.
Best Dual Motor Electric Scooters
Once you've been riding an electric scooter for a while, it's hard not to become addicted to how much fun they can be. Pretty soon, you'll probably find yourself outgrowing your single-motor scooter that opened the gates to the scooting world and looking for something with more power.
High speeds, rapid acceleration, ferocious torque — choosing a double motor electric scooter ;adds a healthy injection of adrenaline and thrill to any ride. These beauties are perfect if you're ready to take the next step and level up your scooter game.
The added power from the second motor also means that getting ahead of other road users is simple. Single-motor scooters can sometimes feel sluggish when taking off, but this isn't something you'll need to worry about with the E500. Even a slight squeeze of the throttle will have you leaping forward. Not only that but the 32-newton meters of torque it offers will allow you to tackle hills with inclines of up to 15 degrees thanks to its increased traction. To put this into perspective, Filbert Street, the steepest street in San Francisco, has a maximum gradient of 17.5 degrees.
With Model One, coming to a stop is just as easy as taking off. It features dual electronic anti-lock brakes and a rear foot brake — handy if you ever find yourself short on battery and have to ride the E500 as a manual scooter. Combined, this setup will slow you down completely in around 4 to 5 meters. I prefer to see a double braking system like this on a dual-motor scooter because it balances out the extra power and guarantees a controlled and responsive braking action.
Lingerie Set
First things first, though: What is lingerie? To put it simply, "lingerie" means undergarments or sleepwear—and usually, styles that are a little fancier than your typical, everyday essentials. But there's a whole bunch of other lingoes to get to know while you're shopping. Chemise or camisole? Bustier or corset? What's the difference, anyhow? ;
The best pieces in our wardrobes are often the stalwart investment items crafted to stand the test of time, both aesthetically and physically. This rule applies to our lingerie drawers too—there’s merit in investing in luxury lingerie with classic appeal instead of indulging in trend-forward items that may not hold up after a few wears. But it’s not just about the cost-per-wear ratio or the craftsmanship of luxury lingerie—it’s also about how you feel about the pieces you procure. Leave it to a new, luxury lingerie set ;to put some sartorial pep in your step. There’s something magical about loving what you wear under your clothes just as much as your clothes themselves.
Whether you’re doing an entire lingerie drawer overhaul or just looking to add a few new pieces to your collection, say goodbye to mismatched underwear and bras that fold or pinch in all the wrong places, and say hello to a lingerie drawer full of sumptuous sets. ;
Lingerie Bodysuit
A flagship item in current fashion and women's lingerie trends, lingerie bodysuits ;have been very popular in recent years. Halfway between a chic undergarment and a detailed top, bodysuits are available in many cuts and designs. Lace bodysuits for a romantic style, cotton for unbeatable comfort, with short or long sleeves, shaping or fluid bodice, the universe of possibilities is endless. This lingerie, which incorporates both a bra, with or without underwire, and a bottom can be worn as an undergarment but also as a top to combine in a thousand and one ways.
How to wear a bodysuit
A true asset of seduction, this glamorous undergarment that enhances feminine curves also promises comfort throughout the day. To put on a bodysuit, just open the snaps and slide it on from top to bottom. Next, like a bra, it is possible to close the hooks on the back with the bodysuit in place or to rotate the bodysuit to hook them and then rotate it back. Finally, once the garment is in place, close the snaps at the bottom. For the best chest support, be sure to adjust the straps so that they are neither too loose nor too tight. To quickly remove a bodysuit, simply undo the snaps at the bottom and pull it up slightly. Easy to put on, this attractive top will be an everyday ally for women of all shapes.
Wearing a bodysuit with tights
A versatile ready-to-wear piece, a bodysuit as underwear is a nice alternative to a regular day lingerie set or a bra and panty duo. Under a skirt or a little dress, tights can be a nice addition. To stay comfortable all day, it’s best to put on the tights first, provided you are wearing panties under the bodysuit.
