No do not add to pollution, power the bike with your own legs. Otherwise
get A Vespa or Piaggio, Vespa's parent company that makes a larger scooter
with larger wheels and far more power.

Subject: Should I get an electric bike? Help!
Date: Saturday, August 23, 2003 10:24 PM

Hello,

This is my first post to this group. I'm very unfamiliar with bikes in
general,
having not ridden one in years. However, those electric bikes (scooters?)
have
caught my eye and I'm thinking of getting one.

I have some reservations and was wondering what the advantages v. drawbacks
are
of different types of e-bikes.

First question: Is there a type of e-bike / scooter that can be folded up
and
taken wherever you go? The main impediment to my decision of purchasing a
bike
is the ease with which it can be stolen. I go to many places downtown and
would
like the flexibility of being able to go in and out without much fuss. Any
advice?
