Ebikes are becoming more mainstream as they gain popularity with local police departments. AlongForTheRide cycling
While e-bikes make it easier to overcome the"too" barriers -- too far, too hard, too hilly -- they've gone mainstream in the biking community. As one of the fastest growing segments of the bicycle market, e-bikes have gained acceptance while dropping that cheater image.
Sharon Kaminecki, owner of Earth Rider Cycling in Chicago said,"E-bike battery fires are a popular topic in the industry now. People who deliver have limited means and use low cost e-bikes with cheap batteries. They swap charging cords and batteries with their friends. "I tell customers to use the correct charger for the bike, the one that comes with it. Don't overcharge the battery -- no more than 12 hours -- not in extreme heat over 90 degrees or in a garage, or if the battery is cold," Sammons said.
Since then, numbers have tripled to include Bartlett, Highland Park, Mount Prospect and Wauconda.
"During warmer months, officers are encouraged to ride the e-bikes in the neighborhoods, business areas and parks to interact with the community," Pretkelis said.Deerfield Commander Oliver Cachola affirms that community connection, touting their"vital role in maintaining and increasing positive community relations between the Deerfield Police Department and residents, promoting our community policing philosophy.
