E-Bikes and the future of mobility: How Jasion is changing city travel

City life is changing fast. Traffic, gas prices, and environmental concerns are motivating people to seek better ways to get around. One answer gaining popularity is the electric bike.

Although once a fashionable accessory, e-bikes are now considered a true alternative for city transport. Precedence Research predicts that the market for e-bikes globally will reach $120 billion by 2030. To promote this, governments around the world are offering rebates and tax credits, while also extending the construction of bike lanes.

It is so easy for many people to see the appeal: you can ride an e-bike without working up a sweat while traveling from point A to B. They don’t require the kind of upkeep a car needs, are less costly than running one, and help save the planet. Jasion meets this ever-growing demand by developing bikes for every type of rider: commuters, weekend adventurers, and new cyclists.

How cities are adapting

Ten years ago, a bicycle ride to the workplace was mostly a pain due to the long distances, hills, and, most importantly, the lack of safe routes to attract riders. This is where e-bikes have paved the way. Riders can now travel long distances without feeling like they have to work too hard to get there, with battery-assisted motors powering the way.

The Jasion EB5 MAX, Jasion EB5, and Jasion Thunder are three examples of this shift. Each model focuses on something different, whether it be range, portability, or power. Nonetheless, all are built for comfort and everyday use. 

“E-bikes are no longer just for fun or exercise,” a Jasion representative explained. “They’re becoming part of how people live and move every day. Every feature we design, from the battery to the brakes, is meant to make daily riding simple and safe.”

The Jasion EB5 MAX: Long rides made easy

The Jasion EB5 MAX is designed for people who travel longer distances. It has a 1500W motor and a 48V 15Ah (720Wh) battery that can go up to 65 miles on pedal assist. Its top speed of about 28 mph makes it one of the fastest commuter e-bikes in its class—ideal as an electric bike for adults seeking both performance and practicality.

Wide 26″ x 4.0″ tires and a front suspension fork keep rides smooth, even on uneven roads or trails. Dual disc brakes and built-in lights add safety and control.

For anyone commuting from the suburbs to the city or running long errands during the week, the Jasion EB5 MAX offers both power and peace of mind. It’s built for reliability and comfort, not just speed. 

The Jasion EB5: Simple, portable, and city-ready

If you live in an apartment or need something lighter, the Jasion EB5 might be a better fit. This model focuses on simplicity and ease of use. It has a 750W motor, a 36V 10Ah (360Wh) removable battery, and a total weight of only 49.6 pounds.

The EB5 can reach speeds up to 20 mph and travel about 25–40 miles per charge. You can remove the battery to charge it inside, whether you’re at home or at work. That makes it perfect for riders without access to outdoor outlets.

It also includes four riding modes: pedal assist, full electric, manual, and booster. This lets you adjust based on the terrain or your energy level. Front suspension and dual disc brakes keep it safe and steady in city traffic.

The Jasion EB5 is an excellent choice for short commutes, quick errands, or college campuses. It’s compact, comfortable, and easy to store, making it one of Jasion’s most accessible city eBikes.

The Jasion Thunder: Built for power and adventure

Some riders want more than just a way to get to work. They want an e-bike that can handle weekend trails, gravel paths, and rugged terrain. The Jasion Thunder delivers that.

With a 1500W motor, a large 48V 18Ah (864Wh) battery, and fat 26” tires, the Thunder is made for performance. This fat-tire eBike can reach speeds over 30 mph and travel up to 80 miles on pedal assist. Hydraulic disc brakes and a strong frame give it the control and durability needed for off-road riding.

“The Thunder is about freedom,” said one of Jasion’s engineers. “It’s made for riders who want to go beyond the city without worrying about limits.”

While it’s heavier than city models, its power and balance make it a favorite for riders who want adventure as much as convenience.

The bigger picture: Policy and progress

The rise of e-bikes is part of a larger story about how cities are trying to reduce traffic and pollution. From Paris to New York, local governments are adding protected bike lanes, restricting car use, and encouraging micromobility options like e-bikes and scooters.

There are now far more e-bikes in use worldwide than electric cars. The reason is because they’re affordable, easy to use, and require very little infrastructure compared to cars or buses.

Riders today also expect more from their bikes. Long battery life, weather resistance, and easy charging are no longer bonuses, but must-haves. As a result, companies like Jasion are creating bikes that balance performance with accessibility.

Why E-Bikes matter

E-bikes are in no way a fad. They are gradually being integrated into daily life. The EPA estimates that short automobile trips account for nearly 20 percent of carbon emissions in cities. Thus, replacing a few of them with e-bike trips could amount to a lot.

Urban planning expert Dr. Susan Handy from UC Davis believes e-bikes are one of the most effective ways to cut city emissions: “They’re affordable, easy to use, and reach more people than electric cars ever could.”

With cities improving their networks for cyclists and charging stations, the future of urban travel will tend primarily toward electric mobility instead of cars. E-bikes will allow this future not only for the rich but for every other rider, too.

Riding into the future

The e-bike movement isn’t just about transportation. It’s about choice, freedom, and sustainability. Riders want options that fit their lives, and companies like Jasion are helping to meet that need. 

The Jasion EB5 MAX, the Jasion EB5, and the Jasion Thunder reflect design and technology that cater to different people in terms of the kind of travel they want, whether long-distance commutes, speeding through city streets, or taking the adventure into the outdoors.

How we get around in the world is always changing. E-bikes are ushering in an era of travel that some might have thought lost: quiet, clean, and entirely their own.
