The prominence of Electric Bicycles is not a rise that has gone unnoticed. As more of us have hopped in the saddle over the last 12 months,<\/span> it is evident that E-bikes have played a vital role in the accessibility of cycling for people of all abilities.\u00a0Whether <\/span>you are<\/span> a commuter looking to put the miles in to work without breaking a sweat or an older rider wanting to continue the mileage covered <\/span>in their youth<\/span>, E-bikes cater for every rider and span every discipline<\/span>. <\/span>Although originally greeted with scepticism, it is safe to say <\/span>they are<\/span> here to stay.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I had the pleasure of taking one of Canyon\u2019s new Endurace:ON<\/span> 7.0 bikes out for a ride, paired with <\/span>Tru<\/span>-Tension\u2019s new E-Bike Tungsten All Weather Lube, and it is safe to say I had a smooth ride. <\/span>Over the course of the ride, I <\/span>could not<\/span> help but cast my mind back to the First Gen E-Bikes that paved the way before this bike.\u00a0We have come a long way over the past few years, the undeniable weight of <\/span>first gen<\/span>eration<\/span> E-Bikes often undermined the technological advances in the field.\u00a0Weighty hubs and clunky batteries soon paved the way to innovation, ensuring the compromise of kilograms added was met by the benefits of electric assistances. Now we see big brands such as Canyon, Specialised, Giant and <\/span>Orbea<\/span> all adopting electrical counterparts to their range of <\/span>bicycles<\/span> and there is no going back.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The basic principal<\/span> relies on a small electric motor and battery that will assist the rider during their journey.\u00a0The motor engages upon pedalling and accelerates proportionately with the speed the bicycle is going at.\u00a0This <\/span>speed<\/span> is limited usually between 20 \u2013 28 mph as the speed <\/span>\u2018<\/span>governor<\/span>\u2019<\/span> kicks in<\/span>, ensuring you <\/span>don\u2019t<\/span> give motorbikes a run for their money.\u00a0<\/span> Each set up differs; motor size can be altered and<\/span> the power behind the assistance can <\/span>differ<\/span> depending on your riding <\/span>discipline<\/span>. <\/span>Mountain bikers will benefit from the transition between <\/span>hills,<\/span> having a hand up <\/span>the steep inclines and benefit from a <\/span>meatier battery.\u00a0Commuters are trading in their cars for cleats, opting for rides over rush hour \u2013 which has been recognised by the British government, who have pledged \u00a32bn towards their \u2018Active Travel\u2019 campaign.\u00a0This campaign aims to normalise riding as a form of transport for cities and towns and makes navigating cities far more bicycle-friendly than at present. Great news for E-bikers and the wider cycling community.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is forecast by the Confederation of European Bicycle Industry, European Cyclists Federation and Cycling Industries Europe, that by 2030 there will be an extra 10 million bicycles on the road per year.\u00a0This equates to 47% more than the annual number of 2019 \u2013 the only ways is up!\u00a0 At <\/span>Tru<\/span>-Tension we strive to provide the newest and most innovative technology on offer in Cycling, as championed by our Tungsten infused Lubricant range.\u00a0With that in mind, we are delighted to announce our new products designed specifically around E-bikes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
