Electric Bikes in the NYT
The NYT covers electric bikes. At 20 miles per hour without pedaling, light pedaling to increase range and speed, and a few hours to charge, this could be a great way to get around. The Times article starts with the high-end “Optibike“, which costs around $7,000. For those of us with realistic budgets, the eZee bikes seem like a good buy — the folding model might even fit in the smallcave!
Also visit Suitable Transport, a site detailing a Melbourne to Sydney electric bicycle trip. Their bike of choice is the Schwinn World GSE.
