NATIONAL TODAY Ride to the future with National E-Bike Day

National E-Bike Day is a new holiday established and sponsored by Lectric eBikes to encourage people to ride their e-bike or make the switch to opting into electric transportation. E-bikes are a fun, sustainable, and economical way for individuals and families to get around, whether it’s a quick joy ride or an exciting commute to work. They’ve become increasingly popular in the U.S. in recent years as people look for affordable and eco-friendly transportation solutions. This holiday not only encourages people to enjoy the benefits of e-biking, but also celebrates the industry as it strives to change the way people move in the world.

History of National E-Bike Day

This is a new holiday even though e-bikes have been around since 1895. Yup, that’s right! The first U.S. patent for an e-bike was granted in 1895 to Ogden Bolton Jr., who invented a battery-powered electric bicycle with a hub motor mounted near the rear wheel. The spark of innovation was lit and inspired Hosea W. Libby to create an e-bike propelled by a double electric motor that was placed inside the crankiest axle hub, which is seen in some current e-bike models. Almost a hundred years later, the Pedal Electric Cycle, now known as pedal-assist, was integrated into e-bikes. This changed the way e-bikes were designed and allowed riders to activate the motor by the traditional throttle or by peddling. Fast forward to today, e-bike popularity has grown significantly, reflected in the fact that global sales have outpaced electric and hybrid car sales in the past two years and are projected to increase.
Lectric eBikes was founded on the idea of changing the way people move. The solution was creating the best e-bike at the best cost, which prioritized offering the best value per dollar, ease of use through pre-assembled shipping and superior customer service throughout and after the buying process. By putting great value and the consumers’ experience first, Lectric has sold over 300,000 e-bikes since 2019. To celebrate this achievement and the collective work of the entire e-bike industry, Lectric eBikes is thrilled to establish and sponsor National E-Bike Day.
