Get Around Gridlock And Over Broken Infrastructure With The Hanebrick Electric Bike

by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 11. 3.10

This might be the perfect vehicle for the next two years: The Hanebrink off-road electric bike. Political gridlock may well lead to road gridlock as transit and trains get cut. But this thing can get around anybody and over almost any kind of broken infrastructure with its 600 Watt brushless electric motor and its fat tires. It is the true SUV of electric bikes.

One lithium-ion battery pack can run thing for a hour, but the hundred pound capacity carrier on the rear can hold up to five more if you have a really long commute. Only US$ 5,500 from Fortune Hanebrink.
