The Lunabelles from the Electric Scooter segment showed that driving a scooter is not only good for the environment but also a fun way to get around town. But even a scooter can be hard to store or park if you live in a no-parking zone or if it’s street cleaning day. What then? You can’t exactly carry a scooter up a flight of stairs, can you? That’s where the electric bicycle comes in handy.
The electric bicycle is another answer to inexpensive, lightweight transportation, an urban commuter’s safety net. Ever have a hot, muggy day in the city, when just stepping out the door requires a shower? An electric bicycle saves both time and energy, especially when you are running late for an appointment. An electric bicycle can be both a regular pedal bike, to get your exercise fix, and can be switched to electric mode when you are low on energy or have some steep, San Francisco-style hills to climb. The best part about owning an electric bicycle is that anyone can ride them. No need for a license or registration.
