| The Electric Advantage: |
| Hills |
| It¡¯s actually easy to ride up hills on an electric bike. With the power of the motor supplementing your |
| pedaling, you¡¯ll be able to comfortably ride up hills that you might not even attempt on a traditional |
| bike. |
| |
Parking |
| On an electric bike, parking ceases to be a hassle since bikes easily find parking (where cars drive |
| around the neighborhood searching). If you live in a big city, parking is often something valuable |
| beyond a price tag. |
| |
Time |
| An electric bike saves you time. It eliminates the time spent looking for parking. It eliminates time |
| waiting for the bus (and often is a faster ride than the bus). Traffic jams can be avoided via side |
| streets. |
| |
Health |
| An electric bike is a very seductive form of exercise. That¡¯s not hype. You won¡¯t ever need to force |
| yourself to get on the bike. You¡¯ll want to. It will make you feel good. The power of the motor makes |
| the rider strong enough to ride without making the muscles ache. Go for a ride and you¡¯ll appreciate |
| why we say: ¡°All gain, no pain.¡± |
| |
The Environment |
| What kind of impact does our choice of transportation have on the world? An electric bike is high- |
| utility, low-impact transportation. In San Francisco and the Bay Area, the automobile is the top |
| contributor to local air, water, and noise pollution. A large percentage of cars in the City are being |
| used by individuals for trips of ten miles or less. Replacing the high impact of a single passenger car |
| with the low impact of an electric bike will make a positive difference for both the individual and |
| environment. Our choices have an impact on the future. An electric bike is healthy step in the right |
| direction. |
| |
Money |
| An electric bike can be cheaper than a gym membership, car insurance, or car payments. For some |
| people, an electric bike will replace the car for neighborhood errands. For others, an electric bike may |
| enable them to use a car significantly less or replace a car altogether. Either way, a car costs $.10-.40 |
| per mile to operate (including purchase price, insurance, taxes, and maintenance). Operating an |
| electric bike costs pennies. |
| |

Cycle without breaking a sweat |
| Electric assist gives you the option to pedal or to take it easy (or both). Use the electric drive to your |
| advantage: extend your range, travel routes that are too hilly, arrive at work refreshed. You can ride |
| electric to work and get your exercise on the way home. Pedal as much or as little as you want, and |
| use the electric assist whenever you need the extra help. |
| |
TimeSmooth power |
| Turn the throttle and go! With plenty of power available you have enough to help you up any hill or to |
| move you up to 32km/h on the flats. Head winds and hills are not a problem any more. If you stray |
| too far from home on your ride, just activate the electric drive to help you along. |
| |
TimeSimplicity of hub motors |
| An electric motor located in the center of your bicycle wheel is the simplest, most efficient drive system |
| available. Advanced "brushless" motor technology provides maximum range and the best |
| performance on the market. |
| |
Quiet |
| Nobody will ever know your bike has a motor. The electric drive is silent and incredibly smooth. Best of |
| all your electric bike looks just like any bike and handles just as you expect your bike to ride. If you |
| can ride a bike you can ride an electric bike. |
| |
Efficient |
| A bicycle is the most efficient land transportation vehicle ever devised. Electric assist extends the |
| efficiency and capabilities of a bicycle making it a truly practical transportation machine. |
