People will do just about anything for their pets, and one Redditor explained how an e-bike helped them get there.

They bought a rear basket for a small pooch and a trailer for a larger one, attaching them to one of the clean machines so the hounds could live life to its fullest.

"If you have a senior dog, you know the struggle of wanting to give them enriching outdoor time without pushing them too hard," they wrote. "This sturdy steed has become our official 'chew crew' mobile. With enough oomph to power our pack, my Velotric Fold has turned our outings from gentle strolls to joyful expeditions."

They included a photo of the two pups with their tongues out and added a pair of shots of the setup in action, showing the black and white canine enjoying the wind in its face.

This displays the versatility of e-bikes, which are widely touted as excellent tools for travel and recreation. Without the need to pay for gas, you can save money on your commutes and other activities. Cycling is also healthy and you will cut your contribution to air pollution if you cycle instead of driving an internal-combustion vehicle.

Upway is one place to find an e-bike that offers exactly what you need. The online marketplace offers a variety of options, including many that are available for 60% off retail prices. Upway also buys used e-bikes if you're looking to upgrade.

Folding e-bikes such as the one used by the proud pet parent are particularly popular among commuters and apartment dwellers, as they easily compact to save space and help the rider move on without creating a storage hassle.

This is just one part of the transition to green modes of transport, appliances, and infrastructure, which all help people save money and reduce air and noise pollution. If you install solar panels at home, you can enhance your e-bike savings by reducing charging costs with free energy from the sun.

Commenters shared their e-bike experiences and other thoughts with the poster, who was happy to engage. In one exchange, which included a photo of another smiling dog, they talked about "the tent seat thing" and which trailer would be best for a 40-pound border collie.

"Thanks for the feedback!" the user wrote. "I'm just starting to research my first e-bike purchase. I appreciate your advice!"
