Kalkhoff's pedal-assist electric bicycles now available in North America -- cruisers unite! {Engadget}
Mar 7th 2010 3:52PM It's sooooo easy to lose sight of the benefits. Yes, $3 grand is a bunch of money, BUT is it when it's about a retired person (with $$$) who wants and needs more mobility, or they want to spend more active time with their grand-kids, or maybe they were once runners, but no longer can handle the impact on their joints?
Ebikes can start as low as $250 (Chk the marts @ xmas) and climb to $14,000. Every mile ridden on an electric bicycle could mean a huge chunk of metal and plastic is not spewing out pollution. Also, they are much easier to bring on public transportation, and into a building to keep it safe (not with a gas motor scooter - I'm sorry).

Hybrid Bikes Make Easy Riding With the Kinetic Copenhagen Wheel {Switched}
Dec 20th 2009 8:13AM A great way to gain attention at a world summit, but really, this is what I call ADPFM (adaptive differential pure flaming magic), or 32Kbps compressed baloney. .
A tip of the hat to MIT. How about promoting the REAL Copenhagen wheel solution? It's call Active Spoke, and is not only real, but is affordable and made in the USA.
Please at least check it out and pass the word; www.activespoke.com
Electrifying Performance: First Electric Ducati to Hit the Show Floor in Milan? {Luxist}
Nov 19th 2009 5:43PM Well done! This is a clean design that is different enough from the rest of the products on the market to be "remarkable". Certainly, it sets itself apart enough to be considered in a much higher category than even most bike shop, off-the-shelf, brands. Though well designed, and with the 250Watt motor in the front wheel, plus the 9ah Panasonic battery, as propulsion, it could just hummmmmm like a tuning fork with a different set of rims, and a few other treatments. Don't take this as criticism, but more like lusting and imagining it was mine.
In my humble opinion it is regal. In fact, it IS a Ducati.

Apr 14th 2009 10:58AM Just hope the battery never dies, because you'd need to pedal this Quazi-moto with your heels. The good news for the mfgr is what PT Barnum once said....it's sooooo true.
