Eco friendly electric push Bikes I have a friend that works for this company that manufactures and sells electric push bikes. He brought one round to my house the other day. I had a go and they are great!
The bikes offer ‘power-on-demand,’ meaning that you can choose to either pedal, cruise under power or both. So when you come to a hill you can use the power of the battery to help you get up (via to throttle). Ingenious!!
The bikes themselves can travel at up to 25km/h and its battery, when fully charged, can run for 32km. However, that is considering that you are full throttle for the full 32Km. Therefore, you can go a lot further if you peddle as well. Also, recharging costs under 20p. So basically it is a cheap to run moped which looks like a bike and has peddles. Also, no tax, Number plates, or helmet required.
They are ideal for commuting to work, small journey's or enjoyable usually challenging sunday bike rides.
I am a big fan of eco-gadgets and eco energy so i am really impressed with this product. So much so that i think i am going to buy one myself.
My friend gave me the run down so i know all about them now (cheers Mark), so if you are interested in finding out more about them, or want to know how to get hold of or test drive one please feel free to ask.
If anyone knows of any similar products then please let me know.
Cheers,
