Would you love a hybrid, like the much vaunted Toyota Prius, but just can’t ante up all those big ones for a new car? We hear you. A hybrid bicycle maybe then! You can pedal it or you can power it (with an onboard battery.) Got a headwind or too many groceries? Switch to electricity and with an overnight charge you could cover about 50km (31mile) without raising a sweat (or a glow, as the case might be).
You might even get the wind rushing through your helmet, as you cruise along at up to 25kph (16mph). Select an off-road version ($1782 AUD), a foldable commuter or italian scooter style, from the among six models. ::Bolwell E-cycle [by WM]
