Electric Bicycle Factoids

-There are two types of assist featured on electric bicycles- pedal assist, and power-on-demand. Bicycles from the Minneapolis Electric Bicycle Company are equipped with both.

-The popularity of electric bicycles in China was in part fueled by the SARS outbreak, when the population was reluctant to ride public transportation due to risk of exposure.

-The heart of an electric bicycle is the battery technology. Modern lithium-ion technology will ensure a longer life and better performance.

-An electric bicycle offers the same health benefits as traditional cycling, only it allows the rider to choose the level of exertion.
