How to Keep Pedalling into Your Golden Years…

They say you never forget how to ride a bike, but for those of us who’ve been out of the saddle for some time, electric bikes can help you keep up with the pack…

Cycling is one of the easiest ways to keep fit and not only is it kinder on your joints, but you travel three times faster than walking – which uses the same amount of energy. Life on two wheels is a fun one, you can adventure further afield for the same effort as going for a stroll, exploring your local area with your entire family, which improves your mental health, happiness and general wellbeing. Why would you ever stop pedalling?

If achy knees, exercise induced asthma or general mobility issues brought your cycling career to a screeching halt, here’s some good news for you, you can still enjoy the freedom of traditional cycling on what looks like a high-end mountain bike – only, when the going gets tough, you can flick a switch on the handle bars and really have some fun. The discreet state-of-the-art battery powers you along at 15mph without breaking a sweat, for up to 30-miles on a single charge.

The Fenetic Sprint Electric Mountain bike, the latest addition to Fenetic Wellbeing’s wide range of pedal-assisted wheels has been designed to help you get out and about as though you were years younger at a flick of a switch.

It comes bearing a wide-range of sporty features from hydraulic disc brakes, front suspension and alloy pedals to the lightweight aluminium frame and 24-speed Shimano gears that the professional cyclists use.

Up front on the handle bars is another piece of morale-boosting tech, a back-lit screen which not only tells you important information like the battery life and the temperature around you, but exciting facts about how far you’ve travelled and how fast you’ve managed it in – how’s that for a sense of satisfaction?

So perhaps it’s time to come out of cycling retirement and dust off your helmet to go out on a fun and health-improving bike ride with your family on your pedal-assisted Fenetic bike.
