Electric Assist Bicycle

"Go Farther, Faster, Easier, Cheaper
With Electric Assist Bicycle..."

U.S. Olympic cyclist John Howard once said, "The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine." That's been true for hundreds of years, but not anymore. Now the electric assist bicycle is helping people get where they need to go more easily than ever before.

An electric assist bicycle hybrid is designed to supplement human power. 

When people hear the term "hybrid", they usually think of cars with a combination of gas and electric propulsion.

In this case, though, it means human pedal power coupled with a small electric motor.

Electric assist bicycles, or e bikes, travel at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. In terms of fuel economy, the
e-bike's energy consumption translates into about 1000 miles per gallon. With no stinky emissions.

All this opens up lots of possibilities. You might be hesitant to ride a bike to work. After all, who wants to arrive first thing in the morning sweaty and out of breath from that last hill?

With the electric assist bicycle, you control when, where, and how much extra power you want. So if you need to burn off last night's extra cheese and pepperoni pizza feeding frenzy, then pedal, pedal, pedal!

Bike Ready for The Ride Home

But if you want to get to that meeting looking calm, cool, and collected, you've got the electric assist at your fingertips. Your Electric Assist Bicycle can recharge while you're working. Then you're set for the ride home.

If you're a city dweller, the e bike is a perfect transportation solution. Who cares if there's not a taxi in sight? It doesn't matter to you! Think of the savings in tips alone!

Here's something else to think about: no more gridlock. According to the Bureau of Transportation statistics, in 2005 the average motorist in Los Angeles spent 50 hours sitting in traffic jams. There has to be something more interesting you can do with 50 hours of your life!

The electric assisted bicycle hybrids are great for the 'burbs, too. Statistics show that about half of all trips and errands are within 10 miles from home, easily in the range of these bikes.

Forget about endless circling looking for a parking spot. Zipping down to the post office and cruising to the bank have never been this much fun!

An e bike can take the place of a second car. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics says car ownership and operating expenses are second only to shelter in the typical American home. 

Yes, that's right. Americans spend more on car costs than food, clothing, education, or medical care. On the other hand, a four hour recharge on an electric assisted bicycle costs about five cents.

On top of that, no insurance, no registration, no parking, and no gas.

Everyone Rides With Electric Assisted Bikes

Many people think they're not in good enough shape to go anywhere on a bike. But there's no need to sit at home.

These power assisted bike designs let you get back into the swing of things at your own pace. Bicycle touring is a popular and growing trend.

Now you don't have to worry about always bringing up the rear on a ride. When the hill is too steep, or you just need a break, let the bike take care of you.

As you improve your fitness level, you can reduce the amount of power support you get from the bike. But that extra boost is always there when you want it.

While it's true that Olympic cyclists can't use a bike with an engine, millions of other people do. These new electric bicycles help folks all over the world get to work, run errands, enjoy the outdoors, improve the environment, and save money. How great would it feel to be one of those people?
