Beat rising gas prices!

With the ever-rising gasoline prices now averaging around $4.00 and up per gallon in most of teh United States, using an electric bicycle as your main mode of transportation can save you a ton of money. For the cost of 1 gallon of gas you can recharge your electric bike about 80 times (costing about 5 cents per charge). A fully charged battery can take you up tp 20 miles. 80 charge cycles X 20 miles per charge will take you approximately 1600 miles. That $4.00 gallon of gasoline isn't going to allow your car to travel even 1/4 of that distance!
