A new electric bike from Velotric recently made the market with two new models under the Thunder series, centering on the Thunder 1 and Thunder 1 ST, with multiple smart features. One of its models features a partnership with Apple, particularly as it adopted the company's safety and security tracking feature, the Find My for their vehicle.
Sometimes, less is more, and the same thing could be said for bicycles, being one of the most economic and healthy ways of moving from point A to B, without the hassle of parking spaces and traffic around the metro.

Should You Opt for an Electric Bike in this Time and Age?
One of the good things about owning an e-bike is that it is eco-friendly right off the bat, as well as it is more cost-effective for users, with cheaper maintenance compared to motorcycles and EVs. Moreover, it saves on parking spaces at home or on-site and is more practical in commuting during peak hours as one may zip through traffic.
It also is a good one for one's health, as one can exercise, while riding towards their work or the stores.
E-Bikes and Their Transportation Features for All
E-Bikes are one of the most cost-effective modes of transportation present in the world, and while it has almost the same parts as a regular bicycle, it still is different from it. Still, it is a recommended vehicle in most parts of the country, with cities giving significant incentives in purchasing e-bikes or scooters, with New York offering a 50 percent discount for purchases.
While bike enthusiasts prefer more manual pedaling and using their energy and power to bring them all around the city, the e-bikes get bashed as it adds pedal assist and throttle to zoom through the roads. This electric drivetrain is not entirely negative, as not everyone keeps cool when riding bikes, and e-bikes help when you just want to cruise from work to home without sweating as much.
The downside for e-bikes includes having no passengers recommended to take for the ride and not having as much cargo storage compared to motorcycles or cars. However, it proves to be an effective alternative for one's self, with Velotric offering a new series for bike commuters that need not worry about losing their bikes with the Find My compatible app available.
