Attention all e-bike enthusiasts, get ready to celebrate National E-Bike Day on May 30! This relatively new holiday was created to promote the use of electric bicycles and their many benefits – from being environmentally friendly to making daily commutes easier and more enjoyable. Did you know that the first patent for an electric bike was filed as early as 1895? Since then, e-bikes have come a long way and are becoming increasingly popular around the world. Whether you own one or are curious about trying it out, National E-Bike Day is the perfect time to embrace this innovative mode of transportation.
