Electric
bikes are part of a whole range of Light
Electric Vehicles (LEVs) that provide local point-to-point
transportation. Generally designed for one person and
small cargo capacity, Electric
bikes range, speed, and cost are moderate.
For most of us, half of our errands and trips are less
than 10 miles - within the range of most LEVs. Clean,
quiet, and efficient LEVs include electric scooters small
enough to fit under a seat -- Electric
bikes towing a trailer can easily haul 100
pounds of cargo.
