More and more urban commuters are considering electric bikes as a cost effective alternative means of transportation. One stumbling block can be price, with many e-bikes costing over $2,000. Texas based electric vehicle maker, R Martin, has a new line of bikes that offer a 30 mile range with little or no pedaling for just over $1,000.
The new “R” models – R10, R11, R12, and R13 – use a patented crank style motor that, the company says, is 50% more efficient than previous hub motors. This makes them a great choice for hill climbing, cruising to the office, school, store or around town – all for pennies a ride. Just plug in, charge and ride.

great info! but those unicycles still look so darn cool might have to look into that!
wow nice unicycles still look so darn cool might have to look into that!
Wow. This looks like the best deal around for a bike of this quality. I was looking at the Optibike but it starts at $6000. The R Martin bikes have the same type of technology at a fraction of the cost. This is my favorite: http://www.electricbikedistributor.com/R10_electric_bicycle.html
