E-Bikes

e-Bikes

Electric bikes sounds awesome. I would totally have one. I don't ride my current bike that much, but I hope to soon since the weather isn't blazing hot now that autumn has arrived. Having bike racks on campus certainly encourages me to ride, too. In addition, I've been riding the exercise bikes at the gym and it's getting a lot easier, which will help regular bike riding. My legs are gonna be beast!

A good article. I did get annoyed at "By law, electric bikes must have no more than 1 horsepower and go no faster than 20 mph (on motor power alone)." Just another example of unnecessary government regulation. Although traditional biking is great, electric motors certainly would help those who enjoy biking but can't bike as well due to age or health. Maybe someday bikes will become more popular...
