Electric Bikes

December 26, 2007

Being a fan of ‘Pushies’ as we call them in Australia and considering the problems with the cost of fuel and the daily grind of traffic jams and parking problems… I thought I’d do a series on electric ‘Pushies’.

Now I did notice the mentioning of Polymer batteries and I remembered a reference to batteries on an Australian ‘eLation eBikes‘; I’m waiting on YouTube footage and photos of this new Aussie bike to included in his site.

To date I have yet to make up my mind, but the iZip Express Electric Bicycle is definitely on my list, though there is a problem in Australia… the ‘brainieacks’ making the rules are at present restricting the power out put to miserable 200W, why? good question, if anybody can answer this or any other issues relation to which are the best batteries, please let us know.

Undoubtedly these and variations of electric bikes; both 2 or 3 or even 4 wheel, will soon become common place as indeed will a whole range of electric and hybrid cars.
