Funny how my commuter bike cost me 75 dollars, is hella fast (a road single speed) and doesn't require braking, because it's actually able to go fast without bad repercussions. If you're rich and gullible enough to pay for an electric cruiser bike, then retire, go ride your bike more, donate some money to people who need it more than you, then get a faster, cheaper bike that doesn't use non-recyclable Li-Ion batteries and then look at yourself in the mirror. I think you'll be a lot happier, stronger, and healthier for it.

Ma and Pa are on the electric moped, giving their buddy a tow.
Yeah, the Panasonic is at the high end of the market, but it's still a lot cheaper than a Hummer.
Peace.
