” Electric Bicycles” covers all aspects of this rapidly growing form of transport & leisure riding, with chapters on history & development, classic models, choosing & using & much, much more. Little known until recently, electric bikes are advancing rapidly, both in terms of popularity & technology. Why ride an electric bike? Once you know the advantages you`ll ask why not: effortless pedalling up hills; so-sweat commuting
- literally; greater acceleration & so greater safety; ever-increasing battery range, with some models achieving 70km plus.
