Global: A surge in electric bicycles

February 1st, 2010 · 1 Comment

The New York Times reports that electric bicycles are catching on around the globe. Has anyone ever ridden one? I rode one in London, and it seemed it would be quite neat for commuting. (Kind of felt like cheating, though)

    I think if they LOOK like a normal bicycle and can be ridden without compromise when the battery is flat. They are great. Particularly like the pedal-assust variety. Don’t like those Chinese looking electric cycles with small wheels and shopping basket. Probably dangerous and look too old fashioned.
