Recumbent electric bicycle – Crystalyte conversion by ATIV

This recumbent bicycle was converted into an electric bike.

by Jafafa Hots

Gas prices soar and concerns grow over global warming, alternative fuel vehicles are gaining attraction. When it comes to cars, trucks, and SUVs, a hybrid is currently the most popular alternative to a gas powered engine. But when it comes to short-range travel, say 20 miles or less, an electric bike is a fun, economical, and environmentally friendly option. For only pennies, an electric bike can get you from place to place without breaking a sweat and without the hassles of traffic jamming.

An electric bike has pedals like any normal bicycle, and you can use those pedals to push yourself under your own power. But the electric bike also has an electric motor, which you can use to supplement your pedaling. The power is useful when starting from a stop or when riding up hills. Otherwise, you can let the electric motor provide all the power while you sit back and enjoy the ride. This makes an electric bike one of the most adaptable vehicles around. There are even models of electric bikes that fold up for easy storage or travel such as ( I zip Via Mezza), as well as recumbent electric bikes, which will take bicycling to a new level of relaxation (just don’t fall asleep at the wheel!).

An electric bike can be purchased as an off-the-shelf item, or you can purchase a conversion kit to convert any bicycle to an electric bike. The significant factors to consider when selecting an electric bike are battery life (which determines how far you can travel on a charge), speed, and durability. Today’s electric bikes take advantage of the advances in battery technology. Many electric bikes are powered by nickel-metal-hydride or lithium ion batteries, which can give a travel range of two hours. Most electric bikes are capable of reaching speeds of 10 to 20 miles per hour. Robustness is an important consideration, and like anything, you get what you pay for. Check your local laws, but generally there is no registration required for an electric bike.

You may be wondering why you should build your own bike when you can go buy an off the shelf electric bike or scooter at your local Wal-Mart or Canadian Tire for a reasonable price. The main reason is these bikes just plain suck. They are underpowered with small motors, low amperage controllers, and weak batteries. This is fine if you just want to cruise slowly at 30kph (18 mph) on a flat road down to the local corner store and back and don’t mind pedaling to make it up any hill, but I don’t see them as a replacement for a car. You see them pedaling like mad to make it up a small hill or sometimes pushing them because their battery died. Traffic gets backed up behind them on narrow roads because they are moving so slowly and cars cannot pass them.

There are a few companies that do make very nice high quality electric bikes but only if you are willing to spend up to 000 and most of them are still not as fast as a bike you can build yourself for a fraction of the cost. If you are serious about replacing your car and cutting the umbilical cord to the oil companies you need to build the bike yourself, hand pick good quality components and modify some parts to increase performance and reliability. This way you can build a bike that perfectly matches your specific needs and will last for many years.

You may be thinking why not just build an electric motorcycle instead of using a bicycle as a platform. Well the bicycle has several advantages. In most places you do not have to license or insure an electric bicycle, which can save you thousands of dollars a year alone. You can also ride an electric bicycle on designated bike routes and paths. On a motorcycle you are obligated to obey the same rules as a car so you are stuck waiting in traffic with every other vehicle. A bicycle weighs much less than a motorcycle chassis, which means it will require less power to move it. This translates to a more efficient vehicle that can use a smaller (therefore cheaper) battery pack to travel the same distance. One final advantage of a bicycle is it can be locked up to a bike rack instead of parking in a stall saving you even more money by not purchasing a parking pass.

Electric Pedal Vehicle  – The Electric Bycicle

The electric bike is an amazing vehicle for any environmentally conscious person who feels they need a mode of transportation that is also fast and efficient. The bicycle is made not to leave the rider completely idle but to assist in the movement over hills as well as flat ground. Basically, these bikes are for people who want an alternative to a car, get exercise, go fast without increased effort, and get you where you want to be.

Amazingly, the price of a bike is the same as a standard one. So, you get the regular bike functions plus the additional power from the battery to propel you faster than you could yourself for a longer period of time. Remeber, the electricity of the bike is not to increase your speed or move without your effort, it is to assist you to ride at a regular safe speed on or off road.

You might be thinking that electric bikes require some kind of licence like motor bikes or other gas powered vehicles. Although these vehicles are similar, the law regards the electric bike the same as a traditional bicycle. As long as the bike stays at ir below 20 miles per hour, the law has no problem with allowing all willing drivers to do as they please.

There are a few different types of electric bicycles on the market including the ezeE, suadeE, and the original. The difference in the bikes are only in the way they are shaped. They allow for usability in different terrains. Certain bikes are better for rougher terrain wile others excel on flatter terrain.

In addition, there are foldable electric bikes that can be folded for easy storage and carrying. If you are a subway rider, you can appreciate the feature that can allow you to stop annoying the other passangers by taking up half the car.

Finally, the final bike type, is a smaller than average bike. The wheels on these bikes are no larger than 20′. They are easy to get off and on, they are quick and very easy to ride, and they are easy to lift and stow away. Whether your tall or short, any rider can use one of these types because it is also fully adjustable. Especially if you can’t find your self pedaling all the way to your destination, the electric motor will assist you.

Those are the basics on electric bikes. You now have a choice to make: do you want a compact bike, an eZee,or a suedeE. The choice is yours. Please make sure to look at the facts about electric bikes and make sure the one you purchase or plan on purchasing is right for you, your situation, and your environment.

Electric Bike Tips For Buying Kits

 Your First Electric Bike – Tips for Buying Kits, Batteries and Fully Assembled Electric Bicycles

The interest in electric bicycles and other Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) is exploding as gas prices rise across the globe. LEVs are perfect for those who are tired of sitting in traffic or being cramped into crowded public transportation. But with any major purchase, be sure to do your research. Here are 3 things you should keep in mind before making your purchase.

As gas prices rise across the globe, so does the interest in electric bicycles and other Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs). These LEVs are perfect for those who are tired of sitting in traffic or being cramped into crowded public transportation. But like any major purchase, it’s worth doing right. Here are three things you should keep in mind before making your purchase.

Bike or Motor Kit?

One of the first questions you’ll face when upgrading to an electric bicycle is whether to buy a separate bicycle or upgrade your current one. To upgrade your current bicycle, you can purchase a motor kit designed for this purpose. This might seem intimidating – but don’t let it be. All the best electric bicycle motor kits come with easy-to-follow installation instructions. Installation is quick, too. You could get your kit and be riding your new bike in the same day. For those who prefer to be hands off, there are plenty of options for buying ready-to-go bicycles. Both of these options function just like a normal bicycle except with some extra battery assistance. You won’t be getting the same speed and power as you would from a motorcycle.

Know Your State’s Law

If you’re planning to purchase an electric bicycle to use in the United States, you need to be aware of your own state’s laws. Most states hold up the national policy that electric bikes must operate under 20 mph and have a limit of 750 watts. However, the companies who produce these bicycles are not regulated. This means they could produce a bicycle or motor kit that could be illegal. Also, most states don’t require you to get special insurance for your electric bicycle. But you’ll want to check the Internet for any changes in policy that might occur. Since electric bicycles are relatively new, the laws and regulations around them could change very quickly.

Choosing a Battery

When purchasing an electric bicycle or a motor kit, you’ll come across various options for the battery power. More than anything, the choice of battery depends on how you will be using your bicycle. Riding in hilly areas or adding additional weight by pulling a trailer will drain battery power faster. Your best selection would be a Lithium Ion (Li Ion) battery as it surpasses all other battery types in the number of recharge cycles it can go through. Basically this means that you can go longer without having to purchase a new battery. Also, just like all other batteries, these batteries come in different voltages. Though the higher voltages will cost you more money, they will last longer and perform better.

Purchasing an electric bicycle for the first time can be a confusing experience. However, deciding whether you want a new bike or a motor kit, knowing your local laws, and choosing the best battery for your needs will help you make the best purchasing decision possible.

Electric Bike Proves to Be a Real Transportation Alternative

We live in a northern suburb of Atlanta where personal transportation is a must.Public transportation is pretty much slim to none up here and even though we have a number of stores between one and three miles from our front door, walking each way can become a real drag when you have to do it on a daily basis.

My wife unfortunately suffers from arthritis and fibromyalgia and while I can find walking to the store a drag on occasion, she finds it nigh on impossible. She also doesn’t drive.In order to allow her to get out of the house and move around I purchased an electric bike for her.

An Electric Bike? What’s that?

An electric bicycle is a standard bike that has a battery operated electric motor attached.The most common kind of motor is a "hub motor".This motor is built into the central hub of one of the wheels and uses the opposing currents created by polar opposite sets of magnets located within the hub. When current is applied to the magnets, the wheel spins.No gears, belts or chains required.These bikes can be purchased pre built from a number of dealers or you can convert your own bicycle with an inexpensive, easy to install kit.It sounds scary high-tech but really it’s as simple as can be.

The best bikes use a lithium ferric phosphate (LiFePO4) battery.These batteries are the lightest weight and longest lasting (1000+) charges of any available and are environmentally far better than lead acid batteries.There is no special license or insurance required, the bikes are practically silent while giving off no smelly emissions.The bike recharges from house current and the lightweight battery can be easily detached for recharging while at work or in class.

Since we acquired her bike, my wife has gained new freedom and finds getting around quite easy while gaining some exercise in the process.The top speed of her bike is about 18 miles and hour and the motor makes taking hills a breeze. The biggest drawback I have found so far is that she now has many more opportunities to go shopping.

I too enjoy the bike and often use it for quick errands where I previously use to go by car.I find riding this machine fun and relaxing and a little light exercise never hurt anyone.It costs over fifty cents a mile to operate a car and one cent to operate an electric bike.To me it’s a no brainier.

While not a solution for every transportation requirement, when you have a short distance to go, why not take the alternative that creates not pollution, provides exercise and cost a lot less?I believe that the electric bike is here to stay and its only a matter of time before they become a local transportation staple.

Electric Bicycles

An electric bicycle is a bicycle that is powered by an electric motor. Electric bikes are also known as motorized bikes. These are fitted with a motor for pedaling, so that the rider doesn’t have to pedal. Electric bicycles generally contain a small electric motor or an internal combustion engine. However, internal combustion engines are being replaced by electric motors with the onset of lightweight, high-battery-storage motors. Electric bikes are very popular in some countries like China, where bicycles are still a chief mode of transportation.

The earliest motorbikes can be traced to the late 19th century. Motorcycles evolved from this development, which tried to power a regular bicycle with motor power. In fact, the moped is a direct descendent of the motor bicycle, and most mopeds still have pedals attached to them. Some mopeds also use pedals as a starting aid and for propulsion. The different kinds of electric bikes are: direct-drive, geared, chain drive, hub motors and friction drive. Another classification is the power-on-demand (motor is activated by a handle-bar mounted throttle) and the pedelec (motor is regulated by pedaling).

Electric bicycles are different from motorcycles, as they still contain pedals. Some electric bikes require pedaling in spite of the engine, while others don’t. However, they can be pedaled if the engine fails for any reason. Electric bikes have similar construction as regular bikes but they are made of stronger components. The frame is also stronger, in order to accommodate a motor. The motor is generally powered by batteries that can also be recharged.

Electric bikes are gaining much popularity in most countries because of their various advantages. They are non-polluting, quiet, small, easy to maneuver and inexpensive. They can also be used by almost anyone. With increasing traffic congestion, heavy pollution and concern for health, electric bicycles are slowly becoming a preferred alternative for many. Besides, they are also much faster than regular bicycles, and riders do not even need a license in many countries. The main providers of motors for electric bicycles are: Sanyo, General Engines and EV Warrior.

As man gained some knowledge by applying his brain, he attached a cart to be pulled by tamed animals and used to travel with their whole family. Then in 1790, a Frenchmen made the first bicycle from wood which did not have pedals, so had to be pushed with feet. It also did not have handle, so it could only go straight. Still man was not satisfied and he wanted to make traveling more easily, so in 1839, the first bicycle made of metal and with handle and pedals was invented. During 1800 century, the bicycles with movable handle and high wheel in front and a small wheel at the back became popular. The pedals were attached to the front high wheel.

Man is never satisfied with what he possesses. He always wants to have more and more. He keeps on applying brain to invent something new to get more facility and make life smooth, so he went on making changes in the bicycle up to an extend that to-day the bicycle is made to run with electric as a fuel, which has been given the name of ELECTRIC BIKE. This new mode of transport has now become popular whole over the world. This is basically a bicycle which is a bit heavier than a common bicycle which moves forward by acceleration. The best part is this bike does not require petrol or any other fuel to run just as the other motorbikes do. It runs on a chargeable battery, so if the battery runs down, you can paddle the bike to reach your destination. The other advantage is no RTA registration or licence is required to own and ride this bike, so even your 10-12 year child can also ride this bike if provided proper training. In fact this is the vehicle made for teenagers. The only drawback is you can’t speed-ride this bike. The maximum speed you can ride per hour is 30 kms. But the manufacturers and the dealers advise to ride at the maximum speed of 20 kmph for better result.

You would hardly find a country were the electric bike is not produced. However, you may find a country where the electric bike is not manufactured but you may still find the bikes being sold by the dealers of that country who import such bikes from the manufacturers of other countries. The manufacturers of US are much advance in making electric bikes. You can find numerous dealers for electric bikes across US. If you are interested in buying an electric bicycle, bike or a scooter, then you can visit www.bernsonev.com and know more about electric vehicles. Here you can find a wide range of electric bicycles and scooters manufactured by reputed companies like Currie Technology (IZIP Electric Bikes and Scooters, Mongoose Electric Scooters.), Giant Suede E Electric Bikes HCF Electric Scooters.

Mini Bikes ? Types of Mini Pocket Bikes for Sale

by brizzle born and bred

Pocket bikes are basically scaled down models of normal full size bikes. Just as there is a lot of variety in full size motorcycles, you also get a plethora of mini pocket bikes to choose from. This article provides information on main types of pocket bikes available for sale.

Electric mini bikes

Electric pocket bikes are miniature motorcycles with electric engines. These engines are equipped with           variable motors that are chain driven. These motors have a capacity to achieve a speed of about fourteen to fifteen miles in an hour. These are low noise bikes with a very quiet operation. Mostly all such bikes have tires that are about 10 to 12 inches wide. The width of tires helps the bikes to absorb bumps easily and provide a smooth ride. If you have batteries of power 12V*2, you can easily ride for an hour on a single charge.

Gas Pocket Bikes

Gas pocket bikes are also one of the most popular among various mini bikes for sale. These motorbikes mostly have a two or four stroke engine and their performance is comparatively better than electric bikes. Once the tank is full, the bike can cover around 20-22 miles. When compared to electric bikes, gas bikes are comparatively noisy. These bikes are also normally heavier than electric bikes. The maximum engine power that is found in these bikes is in the range of 5 to 15 horse power.

Other points

Electric and gas bikes are two main types of classifications of pocket bikes. However, these bikes can also be segregated on the basis of other criterions. For instance, there can be many types of bikes falling under the broad category of electric and gas bikes. For example, electric PR 200 and Electric XP 707 are two types of electric bikes. Some other models of pocket bikes include Daytona Cagllari, Grand Prix MTX, and Cobra S4. If you are looking for cheap mini bikes, you can surf the internet for websites that provide second hand pocket bikes at discounted prices.
