Make Your Rides Quieter And More Enjoyable

Noise pollution is the spread of unwanted sounds into the environment. It can be caused by various sources such as construction, motorized vehicles, crowds, concerts, and aircraft 1. The potential health effects of noise pollution include increased stress levels, sleep disturbance, or hearing damage. Unwanted sounds can have a range of mental health effects. The brain is always monitoring sounds for signs of danger, even during sleep. As a result, frequent or loud noise can trigger anxiety or stress. With continued exposure to noise pollution, a person’s sensitivity to stress increases. People living with noise pollution may feel irritable, on edge, frustrated, or angry. If a person feels they cannot control the amount of noise in their environment, its impact on their mental health intensifies. Environmental noise is also a common cause of sleep disturbance. A person may experience difficulty falling asleep, inability to stay asleep, or waking too early.

Electric motorcycles (EVs) are a great way to reduce noise pollution, as they are much quieter than petrol or diesel cars. They also address some safety concerns and regulations regarding EVs’ noise levels. Since electric bikes run on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, they generate less noise, with a quiet engine and the absence of a muffler and exhaust 2. Electric bikes operate at markedly lower noise levels, typically around 50-60 decibels, as opposed to 70-90 decibels for gasoline-powered vehicles. The electrification of motorcycles has the potential to reduce most emission species, with some caveats. Electric motorcycles, and electric vehicles in general, can help combat traffic noise.
