In the midst of the global COVID-19 outbreak, electric bikes have emerged as a compelling alternative for safe and efficient travel. The pandemic has dramatically altered our lifestyles, affecting everything from how we commute to how we interact with others. In these unprecedented times, individual modes of transportation like electric bikes are proving invaluable.

Delfast's team strongly believes that electric bikes represent one of the safest forms of transport today. As standalone vehicles, they allow individuals to move about without exposing themselves to crowded public spaces. With public transit systems largely suspended and taxis posing potential risks, electric bikes provide a practical solution for essential trips. Whether running errands or simply seeking fresh air, riding an electric bike offers a way to stay active and healthy while adhering to social distancing guidelines.

As Delfast CEO, Daniel Tonkopiy, observed in Kyiv, many people have dusted off their old bicycles to navigate during quarantine. This trend inspired him to reflect on the advantages of electric bikes. “E-bikes offer so much more than traditional bikes—they’re faster, easier to use, and provide greater comfort,” he noted.

Choosing an electric bike minimizes unnecessary human contact and reduces health risks associated with shared transportation. Medical experts advise maintaining a distance of at least 2 meters (or 6 feet) from others to lower infection rates. Electric biking aligns perfectly with these recommendations since riders can enjoy the outdoors while staying isolated from crowds. Fresh air and physical activity are crucial during lockdowns, and e-bikes make this feasible without compromising safety.

Furthermore, Delfast’s world-record-breaking range—up to 230 miles (370 kilometers)—offers another layer of convenience. During periods of isolation, escaping to serene locations like lakes or forests becomes an option. Imagine exploring untouched natural landscapes while still practicing social distancing! Spring is here, bringing warmer weather and renewed opportunities to reconnect with nature.

Beyond personal benefits, Delfast is committed to supporting small businesses impacted by the pandemic. Restaurants and shops rely heavily on delivery services to sustain operations during closures. Electric bikes serve as ideal tools for delivery personnel, ensuring both their safety and efficiency. For instance, Delfast’s Partner model boasts a range of 56 miles (90 kilometers), enabling couriers to handle large volumes of orders daily. With capacities like these, businesses can maintain steady revenue streams while protecting employees from layoffs or unpaid leaves.

Ultimately, the current crisis highlights the versatility and resilience of electric bikes. From personal mobility solutions to business support, Delfast continues to innovate and adapt. As we navigate this new reality, embracing technologies like electric bikes could redefine our approach to transportation and community well-being.
