Electric-Assist Bicycles

Americans are living longer, metro areas are getting denser, and traffic in our cities is among the worst in the world. Many urban planners have taken note and are making it easier to bike, catching up with the way two-thirds of the world travels to work and around town. Like a bicycle, but equipped with a motor, batteries and a control system, eBikes enable riders of all fitness levels to cover a lot more ground in less time and ascend hilly terrain without the huff and puff.

Not just for joy rides, this emerging commute option is poised to transform future urban mobility. During rush hour, eBikers can beat the frustration of city gridlock and arrive at the office relaxed, even invigorated. As increasingly more people flock to cities, space will be at a premium – eBikes take up less space, on the road, and to park. They’re also less sweat-inducing than a traditional bike, making them a practical alternative for commuters who wear a suit or dress to work.
