Gas Powered Bicycle V/s Electric Bicycle

If we pre-date the electric bike kit by almost a century, we would get the gas powered bike kit. The gas powered bicycle kit has a tank that requires to be refilled at regular intervals, as the bicycle moves on gasoline. Gas powered bicycles are also dirtier and noisier compared to their electric counterparts. Gas powered kits, on the positive side, are considerably less expensive. This factor makes them popular among people with limited budget.

Gas powered bicycle kits usually have larger motors. Thus, if you wish to have a bike with a lot of speed and power, you should opt for a gas powered motor kit. However, you must be aware of the legality of the motors. Some states consider the gas powered bicycle motor kits to be illegal.

A normal electric bicycle motor kit has three components, namely, the battery, the motor, and the throttle or the controller that helps in speed setting. An electric bicycle motor kit was considered impractical just a decade back. The bulky SLA batteries made the bike frame thirty pounds heavier, while one needed to constantly maintain the chain-driven motors. It was considered wise to just go for a gas powered bicycle motor kit.

In the attempt to make things environment-friendly over the last few years, the electric bicycle motor kits have undergone dramatic improvements. Hub motors can be incorporated into the bicycle wheels, so that one can just replace the wheel on the bicycle with a motor wheel. Modern lithium batteries are lighter in weight and are able to power a bicycle for as much as 20 miles. It is a huge improvement. The typical electric bicycle motor kit adds almost 18 pounds to an already existing bike, which is amazing!

However, the price of the battery is one negative of the electric bicycle motor kit. Although the batteries last almost 1000 charge cycles (around 2 years to 5 years, varying with the cyclist), the average expense for replacing a lithium battery is approximately $500. If you take into account, all the money saved from transit fees or gasoline, this definitely turns out to be economical, eventually.
