WHAT IS AN E-BIKE?
If you’re not aware of e-bikes, we’re here to tell you all about them. An e-bike or electric bike is almost like a normal bicycle, but it comes with an electric motor that operates on batteries to boost the cycling experience.
The electric motor allows you to spend less energy on riding an e-bike. You need to kickstart the motor through pedalling just like regular bikes, but the motor makes the entire cycling process much easier. Hence, riding an e-bike is not as tiring as standard bikes.
Not only that, but the motor also helps the e-bike go faster than regular bicycles. At Ascent Car Rental, we offer you similar pedal-assist e-bikes to put in some exercise while touring the city on a bike. It’s fun and effortless and allows you to stay fit even when travelling. And even if you don’t feel like peddling no worries either, our bikes have enough battery power to go all day.
WHY CHOOSE E-BIKES?
E-bikes can be the best travel buddy if you love cycling but don’t want to waste all your energy and work up a sweat while touring a city or riding up hills. Moreover, if you have a weak knee, e-bikes can be a great alternative for carrying heavy objects without causing any physical weakness. Hence, cycling has become a piece of cake with e-bikes.
Furthermore, if you choose to rent an e-bike in Vancouver, you can go on beautiful self-guided e-bike tours and cruise around the city without any hassle. You can enjoy city life to the fullest as you cycle around the city. Moreover, sightseeing can become much more enjoyable than tiring on e-bikes.

SOME E-BIKE TIPS
When you’re out there touring Vancouver on a rented e-bike, you need to follow the recent regulations to avoid accidents and injuries. So, we’re here to discuss some e-biking tips to enhance your cycling experience in the city.
1. Put On Your Helmet
According to British Columbia law, you must wear your helmet at all times while riding an e-bike. Wearing a helmet can help you avoid injuries and accidents while you’re riding around Vancouver on a rented e-bike.
Also, you need to be over 16 years to ride an e-bike. So, naturally, if you want to book an e-bike in Vancouver, you’ll have to provide ID proof at the bike rentals.
2. Follow The Traffic Rules
When you’re on the road riding an e-bike, you have to follow the traffic laws. You must abide by the traffic rules to avoid serious accidents or penalties.
Moreover, always ride on the road or stick to the designated bike path because you’re not allowed to ride bikes on the sidewalk in Vancouver. Thus, it’s better to make sure that your e-bike city rides do not become a nuisance for pedestrians.
3. Watch Your Speed Limit
Watch the speed limiter while riding through the city on your e-bike because areas and roads might have different speed limits. For instance, the Stanley Park seawall has a speed limit of 15 kilometres per hour. So, it’s always best to monitor the speed limit to avoid breaking any traffic rules.
4. Carefully Mount And Dismount
An e-bike is heavier than a normal bicycle because of the electric motor and battery attached to it. Thus, you have to be extra careful while mounting and dismounting the bike; otherwise, you might end up getting a nasty injury. It can also fall over more easily than a regular bike because it’s heavier, so always use the kickstand to avoid tipping over the e-bike.
5. Do Some Research
When you’re touring through Vancouver on an e-bike, it’s best to research to get an idea of where you can go on the bike. For instance, if you want to ride your bike on some trails, make sure that riding an e-bike is allowed in that area because not all parks allow e-bikes. Hence, do some research before planning your bike tour around Vancouver.
