Bicycles are simply the best way to get around if you can!  For most commuting and recreational needs, the bicycle remains the ultimate vehicle from personal health, economic, environmental, and energy saving perspectives.  Riding a human/electric powered vehicle helps prevent heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and strokes while building strength and endurance.  Bikes put a smile on your face and bring out the freedom of the inner child. By replacing short car trips, cycling saves the air from noxious pollutants, saves the commuter the cost of gasoline and requires less asphalt than auto traffic and parking.  As they say, Burn fat, not fuel!

Fossil fuel powered cars simply stink! And car crashes are the top killers of children in the America. Carbon monoxide, VOC's, nitrous oxide, and other emissions all contribute to cancer, asthma, and lung diseases. Carbon dioxide has been implicated in global warming, sulfur dioxide causes acid rain, and oil spills have polluted our oceans, rivers, and lakes. By discouraging physical exercise, cars contribute to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other cardiovascular problems. Cars add to noise, stress, congestion, and are responsible for urban sprawl, besides costing a lot to operate (original investment, maintenance, insurance, dmv, etc). The bike literally creates the opposite experience — silence, stress release, health and fitness, adventure — and they are practically FREE! So by getting on your bike whenever possible, you are doing something wonderful for both yourself and the world.

Two of humankind’s greatest inventions were fire and the wheel, and both are incorporated in the hybrid electric bicycle. Have you ever spun a tuned bicycle wheel from the hub and played with its incredible gyroscopic balance from any angle? Try it and you will gain new respect for the bicycle. Today’s bicycle is truly one hi-tech machine: they are built of many space age alloys to achieve critical mass — maximum strength to minimum weight. Add precision bearings and frame angles which optimize ergonomic output — and you get a machine which promotes maximum forward motion from minimum human input. Now add the Promethean fire — electricity -- and you enhance and expand this experience into an entire new dimension. The practical application of human brilliance manifests fully in the hybrid electric bike.
