Riding an e-bike is healthy!

Science has spoken: riding an e-bike is good for your health!

Cyclists often have heated discussions about whether e-bikes are really as good for their health as conventional bicycles. The Hannover Medical School has taken up this debate and conducted an extensive study to shed light on the matter. Its results could shake up some prejudices against e-bike riders, as Efahrer.com reported in its article Experience.

In a three-year study, the health data of conventional cyclists were compared with those of e-bike riders. The participants' data was recorded over a period of four weeks, including their heart rate while riding. The result of the evaluation of 58,000 rides was surprising and is summarized in the video of the magazine "ARD Gesund".

E-bikes offer optimal cardiovascular training

E-bike riders are often wrongly labelled as lazy. But the study shows that riding with motor support is just as effective for cardiovascular training as conventional cycling. The heart rate during exercise showed only minimal differences between the two groups. Even sports doctors like Dr. Manfred Achten confirm these advantages in an interview with EFAHRER.

Health benefits especially for people with pre-existing conditions

For people with pre-existing medical conditions, the e-bike can be a welcome opportunity to integrate more exercise into their daily routine. Around 35 percent of the study participants in the e-bike group already had pre-existing medical conditions. In addition to increasing physical activity, regular cycling can also lower blood pressure and significantly reduce the risk of diseases such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

Regular driving reduces the risk of disease

The study also showed that e-bike riders are often older on average and have a higher body mass index than conventional cyclists. Nevertheless, they spend an average of 135 minutes on the bike each week. This regular activity not only contributes to fitness, but can also have a preventative effect against diseases.

Dispelling prejudices against e-bike riders

• Prejudice: E-bike riders are less active than conventional cyclists.

  • Resolution: The study shows that e-bike riders can enjoy similar health benefits as traditional cyclists. E-bikes offer an effective way to motivate people of all fitness levels to exercise more.

• Prejudice: Riding an e-bike is not as strenuous as conventional cycling.

  • Conclusion: The study shows that e-bike riding provides optimal cardiovascular training, comparable to conventional cycling. The heart rate differences between the two groups are minimal.

Conclusion: Caution is advised, but the advantages outweigh

Despite the obvious health benefits of riding an e-bike, it is important to be safety conscious, especially for beginners. In recent years, the number of accidents involving e-bikes has increased significantly. A careful introduction to handling the bike and practicing on safe terrain are essential to avoid accidents.
