Electric Bicycle Riding Improves Cardiometabolism in Moderately Active Adults

Helaine M. Alessio*, Kyle L. Timmerman

The popularity of electric bicycles (ebikes) has recently soared with sales projected to grow to $119.72 billion by 2030. This trend is driven by their lower cost and eco-friendliness compared to gas-fueled vehicles. This mini review synthesizes findings from our laboratory and others, demonstrating that ebiking is exercise, ebiking is perceived as easier and more enjoyable than traditional cycling, and ebiking elicits important cardiometabolic benefits, including improved glucose regulation and decreased arterial stiffness.
