Make Any Bike an Electric Bike
If you’d like the benefits of an electric bike while still retaining the benefits of your regular bike, then the Ridekick is the perfect solution for you. Ridekick is an electric trailer that you hook to your bike; the trailer then pushes your bike whenever you need a little extra help or a little extra speed. It’s the perfect solution for people who don’t want to invest in yet another bike but who want to have an occasional electric bike experience.
Benefits of the Ridekick Electric Bicycle Trailer
I was a big fan of the Ridekick from the moment I first heard about it. What a great idea!! If you’re anything like me, you already have a favorite bike or two. You probably also have limited storage space. (Which may be a good thing or we’d have our favorite two dozen bikes.) The Ridekick allows you to hang onto your old bike while still adding the convenience of an electric bicycle to your stable of personal transportation vehicles. So here are some of the other benefits of the Ridekick Electric Bicycle Trailer:

- The Ridekick doesn’t take up a lot of space in your garage, house, apartment or patio.

- The Ridekick can be interchanged between several of your personal transportation vehicles.
- Purchasing the Ridekick to add to your current bike is less expensive than buying a new electric bicycle.
