Help the environment today by defying the rule of big oil companies and embrace the freedom of the outdoors. Owning an Electric Bike or an Electric Scooter can save you money, lower emissions, but above all can help you spend more time outdoors and is an exceptionally enjoyable riding experience.
The development of Electric Bikes is at a far more advanced stage than that of electric cars, with many now commercially available. The types of electric bike are wide ranging, from scooters and mopeds, to modified bicycles. Electric Bikes are a great way to cut down on traffic congestion, and should always be used on short journeys.
The Electric Bike is better described as a power assisted bicycle; using human and electric motor power. Models like the XB-500, XB-508, and XB-600 have working blinkers and headlights for the rider’s safety. The electric drive system is designed to be near-maintenance free and the rest is a quality bicycle with replaceable bicycle parts. These models have nearly all the same features as electric mopeds, yet they are about one-third of the cost.
The law regards the 'electric-assisted' (Washington) or 'motorized bicycle' (California) as a non-motorized vehicle and as a bicycle. Laws in other states and local ordinances are similar. Federal law PL107-319 in the U.S. defines the electric-assisted bicycle as a non-motorized vehicle (i.e. bicycle) and places it under the jurisdiction of the Consumer Protection Commission (rather than DOT).
The Electric Bike is an emerging new category of vehicle for those of us who enjoy pedaling. While uses are numerous by cyclists of all ages and proficiency the electric bike is above all about the riding experience. Electric Bikes not only diminish our reliance on petroleum and reduce pollution in our communities; they offer us more outdoor time and more interaction with our surroundings. It is our hope that E-bikes will transform people’s daily routines and add value to their lives by giving them a healthy alternative to mass transit and cars.
