Have you ever thought about a way of getting around that is economical & leaves funds in your pocket? Electric bikes are ideal to get you from A-B without hassle of congestion charges & traffic. They have lots of advantages which will benefit yourself & the environment.

1. Hill Climbing – Lots of people find the strain of hills hard to overcome however an electric bicycle can help you through this. A nice electric bicycle helps flatten hills & increase your average speed. They can help you eliminate the “groan” factor when a sizable hill comes in to view. Electric bikes help give you that extra hard work up hills & you can expect to climb hills of 10% & clear a maximum gradient of 14%. When going for a bicycle ride it helps give you that extra push or save energy.

2. Fitness – Riding a bicycle is a great way to get fit & is fun! Lots of people own a bicycle however refuse to use it because of the hard work. In a survey, 81% of people with an electric bicycle use it at least four time a week. Compared to the 46% of push bikes

. It is proven people use their electric bicycle over their push bicycle therefore its beneficial for your health as you are more likely to use it. Riding a bicycle is a lot more enjoyable in hilly country in to strong winds & an electric bicycle is ideal for this. The motor provides up to half the hard work, but more regular use means more exercise for the rider.

3. Walking Costs – Purchasing an electric bicycle is a bit more expensive than a regular push bicycle however the long term benefits are sizable. When comparing an electric bicycle to the cost of a moped

or cat then there is a sizable difference. Cars can cost between 50 – 80 pence per mile & an electric bicycle can save you a sizable amount of funds.

4. Sweat – If you are riding a bicycle to work the last thing you require to do is to be all sweaty. Electric bikes can take away that added hard work making the sweat go away! Not all employers have showers & other jogging facilities or have the purpose to do so. Electric bikes help eliminate this problem.

5. Safety – It is proven that electric bikes are safer than standard push bikes. This seems unlikely at first however think of a steep & busy road with cars climbing at 30 mph. On a push bicycle it would take about 6mph but you can double this with an electric bicycle. You will see 33% less fewer cars & they will pass you at 18mph than 24mph. The same principal applies where there’s road junctions you can accelerate faster away from danger.

6. Tidy & green – Only a small amount of energy is consumed with an electric bicycle than a moped, motorbike or automobile. The only energy being consumed is electricity which is much cheaper than petrol or diesel. There are no other commercial vehicles which can match the figures of an electric bicycle. A 100 watt electric light bulb burning for an evening is energy to propel an electrically assisted bicycle for 20-40 miles.

7. Travel fast – In theory a automobile can travel at a higher speed than an electric bicycle however speed can fall to below 10mph in cities. Congestion is a sizable problem in cities & an electric bicycle can help you dramatically. They can take advantage of cycle facilities where no other automobile or motorbike can go. By taking advantage of the uncongested cycle network electric bikes are the most consistent mode of travel.

8. No Hassle – When you have an automobile the MOT is due, logbook missing, insurance costs rising. Why bother when you can have an electric bicycle. They are treated like ordinary bicycles for legislative purposes. There’s is no registration or legislation to worry about.

As the name suggests a Mini Bike is a miniature version of a motorbike. While some of these models use a two stroke engine, some versions use a four stroke engine. The two-stroker has a power stroke, and a subsequent exhaust pulse for each rotation of the crankshaft that creates a louder noise. Also, the two-stroker can produce more pollution in the air.

The cheapest Mini Bike is probably worth around 150 USD, and speeds up to 25mph.Though many bikers ignore wearing safety gear while riding this kind of a bike, one must understand that is not a toy, and should always wear a helmet while riding. Also check with your local government authority to understand the laws concerning your bike. In Canada’s Ontario province, the U.K., Australia and the Netherlands, it is not legal to ride this kind of a bike on public roads.

Mini Pocket Rocket

Mini Pocket Rocket is just the miniature version of the already miniature pocket rocket. It gives a more compact look and feel. The sitting position of the driver just makes you feel that he is riding a rocket.

Cheap Mini Pocket bikes

The Cheap Mini Pocket Bikes come easy on the pocket, and do a decent job. They are used for various purposes. They can be purchased second hand. But beware. They may look small but pack a powerful punch, so much so that they aren’t even considered safe to be driven on roads in several cities in the US. These bikes, also referred to as mini motor bikes, share a history with go-karting. The small size and fast speed of these mini pocket bikes made them a popular hit with racers who could drive them even through narrow dirt tracks. The trend caught on and the mini motor bikes soon became a hit with children and teenagers.

Crotch Bikes

Crotch Rocket bikes, though every adrenalin junkie’s dream machine, is a slang term for the mini-sized super fast machines that make the rider hunch up and vroom off. Leaning forward on the seat with their feet towards the back of this category of the sports bike, helps streamline the biker’s position with the machine while driving at high speeds. Although the machines are lighter for easy handling and increased speed, they are often difficult to manoeuvre in winters with ice and slush on roads. With the engine completely covered by the body of the bike, these machines, unlike the cruiser bikes are made with one objective in mind: speed. While cruiser bikes allow for comfortable rides, there is more serious fallout of the crotch rocket bikes’ insistence on speed: accidents.

Roughly the equivalent width of a regular motorcycle, the Tesseract is a hybrid vehicle powered by a liquid cooled V-twin 2 cylinder gasoline engine and an electric engine thus reducing emissions and protecting the environment. With a mantis like appearance, the dual scythe suspension allows stable turning while still allowing for motorcycle like banking.

The Animal Slopestyle Championships opened its start gate for the freeski section, which this year saw some familiar faces on the UK Pro ski scene make their play for the title. Having had such a high standard of skiing at last year’s event, the crowds didn’t know what to expect for 2010 but were not disappointed as the competitors excelled themselves with an array of tricks and jumps.

Representing Animal on the pro ski team, both James Webb and Paddy Graham had strong practice runs and were up against some tough names. Unfortunately, worsening snow conditions caught Animal skier James Webb out but Paddy Graham’s smooth run and technicality earned him a well deserved Silver.

After the success and boost in profile generated by the recent Olympic Boarder X event there was a clear raise in the stakes among this year’s competitors. Animal pro snowboarder Kate Foster set the 3rd fastest time in qualifying and progressed through her heats into the final. In a closely fought final, the win went to Charlotte Banks with Kate battling with Ivy Taylor and taking 3rd place and with it her spot on the podium and a bronze medal.

Event Manager Sonia Shaw commented: “The BRITS is the most anticipated snow event of the year and Animal proudly sponsors the most coveted title ‘The Animal Slopestyle’, a course that encompasses everything that skiing and snowboarding can offer: big air, rails and wall rides. The event was electric and having the Animal Pro Team win so many medals was just the icing on the cake for us”.
