back to school idea: G-Bike City electric bike


gbikeangle1.jpg

Sending your precious progeny off to college?  Is that fruit of your loins pressuring you for a car to tool around campus?

Maybe you should rethink getting them that car, and get them a fully electric, zero emissions e-bike, like the G-Bike City.  You can avoid costly insurance and registration (this electric bike meets federal guidelines for bike designation) and the worry of your kid getting pressured into picking up the booze for the next kegger because he’s got that roomy Prius.

The G-Bike City can be operated fully electric or pedal assist, has a top speed of 20mph so it maintains its ‘bike’ designation, but will still let you get places easier than a traditional bike with added speed, safety and maneuverability.  On second thought maybe you should get one for yourself – it only costs about 29 cents to charge.

Comes in a variety of colors and features:

  • top speed of 20mph
  • 500Watt brushless motor
  • a range of 35 to 42 miles on a 4 – 8 hour charge
  • 260 lb load limit
  • shocks, mirrors, front + rear brakes, lights and turn signals
  • dashboard + controls
  • alarm

all that for $1,099.99
