SAVE MONEY WITH A BUFFALO E-BIKE RENTAL
Renting a car can cost a fortune in Buffalo. It’s also a pain to park. Before shelling out several hundred dollars, consider leaving the car at the lot and getting around on e-bike. You just may be surprised that you don’t need a car.
Buffalo is a small city with a population of of 650,000 in the downtown area. You can get from one of town to the other with relative ease on an e-bike. In short, renting an e-bike will run you a lot less than what you’ll fork out for your car rental bill. The same goes for Uber or Lyft rides.
E-BIKES ARE THE BEST CHOICE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
In 1901, Buffalo was the first city to become electrified. With the advent of electric power, the world changed and became increasingly reliant on fossil fuels. This causes many of our environmental problems today, which is complicated by carbon emissions from tourism.
E-bikes, on the other hand, are a great form of ecotourism. They can make a huge difference when they replace car trips. Visitors tend to take many short trips when visiting a new city for the first time. If a substantial number of those trips can be replaced with trips on an electric bike, the emissions savings would be huge.
E-BIKES ARE SIMPLY FUN TO RIDE
Riding an e-bike is similar to riding a regular, old-school bike. But once you engage the motor, you’ll find that you’ll get three, four, five, or maybe even as much as 10 pedal strokes. E-bikes are a blast to ride and a great way to see any new city. And given Buffalo’s size, Buffalo Bike Tours’ e-bike rentals are an awesome way to get around town.
