How Pickleball Players Stay Active When They Are Not on the Court

We all know the drill. To live a healthier lifestyle, we should be eating cleaner, staying active, and exercising regularly. Naturally, we believe there’s no better way to check those boxes than with a paddle in your hand.

But hey, we get it. Sometimes you’ve got to mix it up.

Actually, the team over at Velotric asked us a pretty simple question: how many pickleball players bike or eBike to the courts?

We realized we didn’t actually know. So, we decided to ask a broader question to our community—what’s your favorite way to stay active outside of pickleball?

It was a chance to learn more about your off-court habits and maybe get a better sense of how many of you are already hopping on a bike.

Thousands of you answered, and we loved reading through the results. Here’s how it broke down:

Walking or hiking took the top spot at 41.5%. It’s simple, it’s accessible, and let’s be real, we all walk every day anyway.

Honestly… more pickleball came in second with 31.4%. Some of you double down on your favorite sport even when asked to take a break from it. Respect.

Riding a bike or eBike followed at 19.3%, the sneaky-smart choice for players who want to arrive energized, not exhausted.

Swimming or yoga landed in fourth with 7.8%. A quiet but powerful minority.

So What About the Bikers and eBikers?

Nearly 1 in 5 of you already ride a bike or eBike to stay active. Which got us thinking: if you’re already doing it, why not turn that ride into part of your warm-up?

For one, you now won’t have to worry about parking—just pedal-to-paddle convenience. Plus, you’ll roll up feeling loose, not winded.

With something like the Velotric Discover 2, pedal assist puts you in control. You decide how much effort to give, all while choosing a more sustainable way to get to the courts.

Their latest ride, the Discover 2, is built for both comfort and performance. It reaches top speeds of 28 mph and covers up to 75 miles on a single charge.

The colors are slick, the battery is simple to charge, and the overall experience? It’s smooth, easy to handle, and makes arriving to the court part of the fun.

It also comes with hydraulic suspension and puncture-resistant tires, making it just as useful for early morning commutes as it is for a casual cruise to your Saturday open play. You can even find a dealer near you to try one out for yourself.

We didn’t ask this poll just for fun. We genuinely wanted to know how our community moves when they’re off the court.

Because if you’re already riding, why not level up with a ride that makes you look forward to the trip as much as the destination?

With Velotric, there’s no telling how far you’ll go for good pickleball.
