    Remember only a few years ago when gas prices spiked, and the world rushed out to buy a Prius?  Wait times were long, and those patient enough were rewarded with 40 mpg.  This quote from automotive.com about the 2006 Prius: “Two years out in the market, there’s still a months-long waiting line. Toyota has doubled production [...]

  • The value of quality components on an Electric Bike
    It pains me to write this article. A quality product is so much more than the sum of the parts yet at the same time a quality product needs to be made from quality parts, so sometimes we have to break apart the whole to see what it is made from. In electric bikes, you [...]
  • Ask Optibike! Does the Optibike charge while you pedal?
    This question from J.B: “Hi my guestion about the Optibike Helia had an error on it so please answer this question for me does the Helia recharge itself when you pedal or do you need to charge it every time?” When you pedal an Optibike, you are contributing to the overall speed and hill climbing power of the bike- not [...]
