Electric Bikes
Electric bikes are all the rage. As part of the category
of light electric vehicles (LEVs), electric bikes are designed
for one person carrying light cargo. Clean, quiet and efficient,
electric bikes are great for short trips and errands of up
to 10 miles.

Some electric bikes come complete off the showroom floor,
while other bicycles (perhaps even your own) can be "electrified"
with a power-assist unit. For less than $1000, you can enjoy
the power, speed and performance of a new electric bike. For
less than $500, you can even convert your own bicycle using
a kit.
Electric bikes are not limited to bicycles, though. The LEV
class also contains electric dirt bikes, electric motor scooters
and even electric motorcycles. Electric bicycles may not be
right for people with mobility or balance difficulties, so
there are electric tricycles that can come to the rescue.
For vacationers who want to tour a large city, you just may
want to jump into an electric pedicab, which is the same as
a standard pedicab, but with electrical assist. And, its easier
on your driver, too.
If you like state-of-the-art bikes, then why not try an electrified
recumbent bike or Betterbike as some call it or even an electrified
velomobile (covered bike).
Some electric bikes are very space efficient as well. You
can fold them up and put them in a car trunk or underneath
a bus seat when needed. Put a folding electric bike in your
boat or RV for that weekend getaway. When traveling across
country, why not fold up your electric bike and check it in
at the airport so you'll have it at your travel destination?
Now, with the new nano lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries
finally making their way into the marketplace, consumers will
have a choice in leading edge oomph for their electric bikes
as well.
No matter your want or need, there is sure the be an electric
bike to suit your lifestyle and recreational ambitions. Remember,
electric bikes provide a healthy outdoor activity, get you
where you need to go and are non-polluting. Get your hands
on an electric bike today! Open up a new world tomorrow.
