The joy of cycling
Cycling in town has become so popular that we no longer need to rely on our own wheels to get around. But this is an option. Riding Pedal bikes has been the first way to cycle for most but there is the option to hire an electric bike if you fancy getting around a lot quicker. There are 2 ways you can ride a bike in London right now.
MOBIKE
Pedal
They are great for getting around and you can get a work out squeezed in as well. I normally cycle this way but the main hurdle is that I need to lock it.
Electric
The Electric bikes for hire, on the other end of the scale are pedal assisted or powered solely by an engine. There is no need to carry locks around either.
Uber’s Jump e-bikes are pedal-assist electric bikes, which means the harder you pedal the faster you’ll go. To operate these bikes you will need to download the APP and set up an account. They have a built in GPS and locking device. But must be docked carefully and safely but are only available in some parts of London.
I’ve recently been looking out for one near me, so I could start pedalling and looking forward to venture out soon.

Have you hired an electric bike in London or near you? Or would you prefer to ride a push-bike? Drop me a line as always.
Some nice looking photos of bikes you’ve gathered! I rode a electric bike in the French Alps and it did make the ride pretty effortless but it was such a heavy beast that it was not that easy to stop! I’d probably opt for just a regular bike if I were going to cycle in London ( or that stylish one with the green basket you captured 🙂
I normally ride my regular push bike but. Lately I learned that there are mechanisms that you can attach to a bike that will convert to electric. So I’m in two minds. Thanks for stopping by.
