Mini Pocket Bikes - Electric Vs Gas
First, let's take a look at what a folding bicycle can do for you. A fold up bike means that you don't have to risk having your bike stolen while you park it in a public domain. You can carry it with you into the bus, or in the train as you travel. When you alight, simply unfold the bike and continue the journey. This way, you can avoid being stuck in traffic jams, and you get to burn some calories.

So what do you need to make one, and how much will it cost? About $300 should do it for a first attempt, plus a decent donor bike. There are a few quality variables like the motor, and the batteries especially. You definitely get what you pay for, and the cheaper variety can be a false economy. They will probably need replacing much sooner. You will also need access to a few power tools to put it all together properly, and a decent plan of what you want to end up with.

One quality that has been very popular is the seat that can be removed. The power that the Ezip 900 exhibits is great for making longer trips so if you use your scooter for errands you should have plenty of energy stored to go to the pharmacy in your area.

An electric scooter, on the other hand, can go up to 30 mph to be classed as a 'moped scooter'. This means that, in most countries, you can ride it on a normal driving licence. You don't have to take a separate motorcycle test. Any scooter more powerful than that and you need to take a motorcycling test.


Another question people ask about electric bikes is, why do you need pedals if you have a motor? Well, modern electric bikes, such as the Salisbury LPX, can switch between three modes: normal cycling - in which you use it as a 'normal' bike; 'pedal assisted' - you still use the pedals but the motor helps out, making it less fatiguing; and 'motor only' - where you simply twist the grip and let the motor take the strain.

To be honest I thought that using a motorized bike was kind of cheating. For me biking was a way to exercise and if I used one with an engine, then that part was gone. However, in just a few days I noticed how wrong I had been. I actually exercise a lot more now with the Currie EZip, than I did before. Probably g100 electric bike is because I now feel safer. I can make longer trips as I know that I have the extra help if I get tired. Another reason could be that it's a lot of fun.

If you want a general idea what type of modifications are possible with a gas powered bike check out the link below. I have some modifications I put on my blog check out the link below.

The last reason for building an electric push bike... but by no means the least important... is the fact you are reducing your carbon footprint which has to be a good thing in my book.
