Electric Bikes or Hub Motor Electric Bicycles

1200 MPG equivalent biological battery motor assisted fuel economy on a Typical 500 watt hub motor e-bike with 500 Watt Hour battery pack & 5 levels of PAS pedal assist selected by user

Twist as fast with half the effort the e-bike gives anyone the ability to go places even if they are not fit enough to ride a regular bicycle or older with knee pain or excess body weight. This means that e-bikes are a breakthrough in mobility by enabling more kinds of people to ride bicycles instead of always relying on a car. 

I can easily ride our Lectric XP 3.0 folding cargo bike to the grocery store & back & have plenty of cargo capacity for 2 large bags of groceries. This would be exceedingly difficult to do on a normal bicycle because of the high mountain where our home is located, which requires riding up a 469 foot hill with no bike lane to get home, not only scary, but really physically demanding, requiring elite bicycle fitness to accomplish, especially if carrying two full bags of groceries. 

Sure a fair weather operation, no fun in the rain, but who wants to always use a car when you can explore like a kid again, back when you rode your bicycle all over during summer break, do you remember? 

E-bikes give older adults like me, I am almost 42 & not as fit as I was in my 20s anymore, but still actively stay in physically good conditions doing Les Mills Body Combat in VR, sessions of PT lately twice per week, hiking, riding bicycle, even e-bike on my rest days since its so much easier :) 

Removable 14 AH 48V battery pack means you can carry spare batteries for more range. With the twist throttle along on flatter routs that's 30 miles of range of 60 with pedal assist. Additional batteries can be stored in a bag or box on the rear cargo rack. No insurance, no license, no registration, its freedom without all the costs of cars. 

If it was covered with a canopy, it could be an all weather option as many electrically assisted recumbent bicycle also have flexible solar PV sewn into the sun rain cover canopy & can also be more aerodynamic & more stable.
