Well folks, something new and different is happening! All of us biking enthusiasts are now going to start coming to grips with the notion of an electric mountain bike! Based on what I am seeing in the specs of many of these bikes – they are quite the machines – some of them being able to get to 52-mph — like the HPC X-3 one. Here is a photo of that high speed bike
Now comes the potential issue with this type of a bike being a trail mountain bike. Well, they are just too fast and too much capable of causing a wreck on the trails which are occupied by hiking people and the usual mountain bikers.
I am sure, there are many different points of view and I am not going to take a stance yet — I will need to learn more about these new technical marvels before I give you at least my view. But judging by a quick scan through the available models – there is certainly a large number of them out there:
- Hi-Powercycles.com
- Stealth Electric Bikes
- Haibike
- Wheeler Worldwide
- M55
- Optibike
I will be publishing additional information on these new bikes over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned…
