Not only have I been doing a lot more motorcycling but I haven’t forgotten my health. I am riding my e-bicycle three times a week now for about 20 miles each ride. I rode my standard bicycle, a Giant Roam, the other day and the differences were very minimal until I hit that headwind! On power setting one my Giant Reign E+ 0 Pro e-bicycle is about the same exertion as my regular bicycle. I keep track of my distance, speed and my heartbeat so I can compare the two equally.
Now for the headwind! As I kept pedaling my heart rate kept going up until I was exercising in a heartbeat range that was too high for me. Even though I was going slower the headwind was pretty brutal. Since my heart attack I was told I should keep my heart rate between 120 and 135 when exercising. It was getting near 150.
This is where my e-bicycle comes in and would have easily kept my heart rate in the proper zone by just adding more pedal assist. I can’t say enough about how cool that is and how it makes my bicycle riding so enjoyable and safer for me. Plus when I see that big hill coming I just smile!
Come in and demo one of these e-bicycles and it will blow your mind!
