My Year of "E" or, Joining the Electric Bike Revolution

April Streeter, 15 March 2010, USA: TreeHugger - Cars & Transportation
If I hadn't taken a test drive I'm sure I never would have purchased a Sanyo eneloop electric-assist bicycle. It's not that I'm not lazy - I am, and many people near to me know that I am a rather wimpy urban biker, as I complain if I have to go too far or haul too much stuff. No, the reason I wouldn't buy an e-bike is more to do with the negative image I have of any motorized cycles since I began bicycle commuting in 2006.
