That&#8217;s <strong>almost exactly<\/strong> the legal top speed of electric bikes. On a bike ride, those cyclists\u00a0expend about 370 watts of power, continuously. Most electric bike motors operate continuously in the range of 300 to 600 watts. So basically, <strong>most electric bikes will enable you to get up a hill like a top professional cyclist, or ride as fast as one<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, but in the last few years, <strong>electric bikes have acquired the &#8220;cool&#8221; factor<\/strong> &#8211; there are now so many beautifully designed, powerful bikes that electric bikes have been embraced by a vital demographic: \u00a0young, healthy people who just want a sustainable, efficient, good looking\u00a0way to commute without being stuck in traffic jams or crowded transit. Getting some exercise along the way is just a bonus for them &#8211; and\u00a0I see more of them on the streets almost every day!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14867\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14867\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/electricbikeblog.com\/haibike-xduro-trekking-pro-2015-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14867\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/?attachment_id=14867\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Haibike-Xduro-Trekking-Pro_0086.jpg?fit=750%2C993&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,993\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Haibike Xduro Trekking Pro_0086\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Many of the new electric bikes are strikingly good looking and very powerful.
