Electric Bicycles

Added: Jun 2nd, 2008
Do a little on-line searching and look for electric bicycles &/or conversion kits for same. For about $400 you can buy a kit for your bicycle. They can get up to 20 mph with a range of 20 miles. That is without pedaling. If you pedal, then of course your range is unlimited. EB s are nice for those long uphill rides, and getting away quickly from stoplights. Some kits come complete with new front wheels with motors built in. You just change wheels, tie up the throttle, fasten on the battery pack and off you go. You can recharge when you get home or at work. Electric bikes can get the equivalent of 1000 miles per gallon of gas. A bicycle is the most efficient means of human transportation, and uses little energy to make compared with other transportation. Electric bikes are even better.
