And when I say "Motorcycles", I mean clones of Harley Davidson's or Dirtbikes and clones of Ninjas.

The electric bikes had motors in them and you regenerated the battery by pedaling. The bike's motor could be turned on and provide enough HP for the average 150lb (or less) chinese person.

This Japanese bike's regenerative motor is interesting but, at that price, its senseless to buy this. When I was in Tokyo, I barely saw bikes. That must be something for people living in the urban areas.

Next time I'm in China I'm gonna rent a Buick Regal. Next time I'm in Japan I'll just take mass transit cause its so easy.]]>Dec 1st 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/

I'm 42 years old now and 2 years ago I purchased an electric Giant eSuede bicycle and it is perfect. I can cruise or use peddle assist depending on how much of a workout I want. It has changed my life as I can go riding with my young nieces and nephew and they have to keep up with me. ]]>Dec 1st 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/
Or bring your shirt to work in your bag and change when you get there. Or leave early and shower in work.
Dead easy
Electric bikes should only be for people who can't pedal, all the other lazy people should move their lard asses.]]>Dec 1st 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/

The problem with E-bikes at such a price is that they are very good at attracting thieves. It would hurt to lose a $300 E-bike but 2K I wold never leave it alone.

I would suggest having a regular back-up bike to use when you have to leave it alone in shady places and fr the winter...]]>Dec 1st 2008 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/Dec 1st 2008 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/sanyos-eneloop-hybrid-bike-has-basket-will-travel/

There was a time business people in the west had that acumen, but I think that's pretty scarce now.

Even for the non-vertically challenged, there are the others who commute up to an hour one-way by bicycle. Again, having a power assist is not always a bad thing.

The motor and controller and accessories aren't that bad, but those nano-phosphate lithium-ion batteries are really expensive.
Plus if your gonna spend that much money, then why not get a new bike.
