Take The Pain Out Of Your Commute With An Electric Commuter Bike
An electric commuter bike is one that I can definitely see in my future. I am a fan of hybrids and this is a true HYBRID. I love the way that the Lithium-ion battery is enclosed in the down tube. For starters, just the fact that it uses a li-ion battery is a big plus since they are state of the art, very light, and compact.
This is like the "Beemer" of electric commuter bikes.
Currie is the acknowledged leader in the manufacture of electric bicycles and they have pulled out all of the stops in the design of this bike. Quality control is unequaled. They are all test ridden at the factory and they even ship them in a custom designed package. And, unlike a lot of e-bikes, they are shipped fully assembled and ready to ride.
The list of goodies, for the electric commuter bike shown, includes a lot of stuff that you don't normally find on e-bikes like the li-ion battery, disk brakes, self sealing tires, etc all of which make it an awesome commuter bike.
You have the option of pedaling for exercise, using the motor on inclines or as needed, or just letting the motor do the work so it is a real HYBRID in every sense of the word.
