    Can you tell me if riding the machine keeps the battery charged up or do you need to top it up ?

    That is what has happened to computer technology. As the consumer base grows the number of venders grows, and with that the innovators step up with better technology and more efficient manufacturing technology. And that results in lower manufacturing costs, and lower cost to consumers, while at the same time continuing to allow manufacturers to makep a reasonable profit.

    Absolutely! the beauty of a competitive market place in a capitalistic system. All consumers can benefit from this.

    this is for looooooosers
    either way be sporty and get on a pushbike ,. OR get a decent motorbike
    for that amount you can have AND a great pushbike , AND a FAB motorbike
    so …. that is even “greener” on your budget

    you might be right on this one, my point was to highlight that drawing from the wall is not emission free but masses of emissions come from power stations and they supply the charge. So until power stations are purely solar (for e.g.) charging is not emission free. The other thing is that of course much depends on the cars we would compare, small engined ones or large. Then again the CO2 problem is also not understood. CO2 is not bad, just far too much of it is, and that’s what we have to fight

    at 0.40 she states that the pedalling also charges up the bike’s battery and many reports are suggesting that this is the prime charge.The pedalling charge might be enough to move it a few inches. 99% or more is from the wall charge. Re emissions, I think you will agree (and the other guy also meant) that we are talking about CO2, cell phones to the best of my knowledge don’t emit CO2. The prime feature of this bike is the pedal action instead of a throttle. Otherwise it’s like any other e-bike.

    “If a million of the blessed things were charged overnight the emissions would be spectacular. ”

    The emissions of 1 million of these devices charging in a 12 hour period would not even come close to 1 million combustion engines on the road for the same 12 hour period.

    Actually, electric does not equal useful. Secondly, Why did you assume that this bike was charged solely by pedaling? The reports that I read stated very clearly that 4 hours of use requires 4 hours of charging. As to whether or not the pedaling portion of the recharge is significant, I don’t know. Not enough data to know that. And all electric devices have emissions at some point during the power distribution/charging process. Even your cell phone.

    Shoddy reporting. It’s not pedal powered for speed, pedaling only governs the accelerator and slightly helps to top off the battery.

    They needed to ask its average range per battery charge, how green is the bike (many battery driven vehicles have creation/disposal issues), and a host of other important questions.

    I’d love a bicycle that could be purely human powered up to 50mph. This isn’t it.
