We are not in the business of offering yet another device or vehicle that replaces human power. Rather we offer the cyclist the means of riding with greater ease and enjoyment, at an agreeable level of pedalling, for expanded purposes, on more routes, consistently etc.
The electric bike is designed around a modest-to-moderate human power input as an integral component. It is a true hybrid that allows for the blending of human and electric power. While the motor is stronger than most riders our electric bikes are designed to not overwhelm the efforts of the rider but to encourage and facilitate pedalling.
An electric bike is for the someone who prefers to pedal, not someone who wishes to avoid pedalling. We can't offer you anything if you are looking for a 'bicycle' that you don't have to pedal at all. (Incidently, by what definition would such a vehicle be a 'bicycle'?).
After a decade in the business we offer the most bicycle-akin electric bikes by U.S. market leaders eZee Kinetics Technology and Giant Bicycle Company.
