eROCKIT Electric-Assist Bike

Is it a motorcycle or a souped-up bike? The eROCKIT’s inventors call it the human-hybrid machine. The cyclist’s pedaling motions assist the motor, which multiplies the rider’s effort by a factor of 50, the company says. The faster you pedal, the faster you go. Wow, a weird bike! It uses a nano-phosphate lithium battery, which it expects to last for 10 years or 50,000 kilometers of use. It likes a mini motorcycle, can reach up to 50 miles per hour. A full charge should run for 60 to 80 kilometers, depending on driving or pedaling style. It weighs about 100 kilos (225 pounds). Unfortunately RockiT plans to build just 10 machines in 2009 for $44,000 price tag!!

    Gas prices at this time in Lexington, KY are around $2.00 a gal. However, the oil companies hook us and then have us pay more for gas inn cycles. I don’t trust them and I will continue to ride my electric bike as much as possible.

    By the way, these are the most incredible bikes I have ever seen. Thanks for an incredible blog!
