 Is an e-bike actually faster than a regular bike? What about a car? Well, we're going to find out. But speed isn't the only variable. What's the fastest machine to get around town? A car, an e-bike, or a regular bike? What we need to do is put this to the test. I've picked about a two-mile loop here in North Hollywood complete with lights, intersections, traffic. Basically, every variable you're going to get when you're riding in the city. I'm going to drive it and ride on this racer and then on this e-bike. Ready, set, and go. I've kept my speed at around 30-ish miles an hour. Got a little bump. Sorry, hold on. I don't drive ever, so. And stop. Whoo, did it. Okay, wow. It took 11 minutes and 10 seconds. You got to take into account the stop lights, the stop signs, also the fact that I was driving probably slower than everybody else. Okay, now. And go. Left down here is on Chandler, right? 11 minutes, 43 seconds. Not bad. Just give me a second. 10 minutes and 30 seconds. The e-bike is the champ. Of course, the electric motor makes things easier, but more specifically than that. Pedal-assisted acceleration on an e-bike, especially ones like this with smaller wheels, makes things noticeably quicker. And given we're talking about urban riding here, there are frequent stops, so this really makes a difference. But is speed the only thing you want to be thinking about? Well, not really. If you're heading to work or even just out for a coffee, you don't necessarily want to be wearing sporty clothes or taking a shower in the non-existent shower when you get there. Pedaling at 10 to 15 miles an hour feels pretty easy on an e-bike, so you can wear what you like and still look pretty sharp when you get there. So what does it have over a car? Well, it's way less expensive and you don't have to worry about parking. So to conclude, if you're a die-hard bike knot, ride what you like. You're gonna love it. If you want to take it a little easier and still get places on time, an e-bike is definitely something you should try out. Still tied to your car?
