Green Transportation

John Titor said "Get a bicycle" and hdrkid said "Get a scooter." However, what if there was a product that is an in between of both, half way from a $200 bicycle and a thousand dollar scooter. Most electric bicycle conversion kits cost about $400, but here is a bike that cost less than that.

It is from mongoose and uses currie tech. Its batteries last about a year 500 cycles and the cost to replace $40 each at Batteries Plus. It takes less than an hour to unscrew the battery and put in a new one. The man at the battery store showed me how to do it.

This is an option that is great for people who are not in the best of health and cannot pedal long distances. If the battery runs down you can still pedal the bike, but with pedal assist it is a breeze to ride.
