KC man embraces e-bikes amid pain at the pump
It's a beautiful morning in Kansas City, Missouri and Ryan Mott is getting his daughters ready for school. "I am privileged enough to say I don't know what the gas price is right now," said Mott. For the Mott family, cycling the streets of Midtown has become common place, regardless of the time or weather.To get more news about Fat Tire Electric Bikes, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.
"I found I'm not late as often since I've been riding a bike because I give myself that extra time," explained Mott. "If I'm late I can peddle harder, with a car you can speed, but its not a great idea and too many people are going fast anyway."To get more news about electric bikes for adults, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.
Traveling at speeds of up to 20mph, Mott and his three daughters will ride to school, the store and even the dentist several miles away, but the shift to cycling didn't happen overnight.To get more news about fat tire electric bike for sale, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.
"I grew up south central Kansas and like most rural kids, I mean as soon as I could get my learners permit, that was that. I don't think I touched my bike again until about 3 years ago," said Mott. "I checked out one of the electric share bikes for a lunch break around crown center and thought I would give it a try. That, that first pedal stroke, and it took off and I thought this is pretty cool. E-bikes are something else. It was just fun at first, but then I realized the more I did it, this could replace my shorter trips to work, my trips to the grocery store. I put a basket on the front and it just went from there."
Now Mott is on a mission to get more Kansas Citians to strap on their helmets, adding the benefits out way any potential cost.
"I've spent less on this bike than I have I think on all the cars I've ever had. Its' coming close to paying for itself, especially with the way gas prices are right now."
