With the cost of gas, and people doing more work to go green with their lives, more people are turning to electric bikes as a means for transportation. Electric bikes use foot power and a motor to create machines similar to hybrid cars. The electric bike combines old fashioned bicycle pedaling with a battery powered motor that helps while going up hills. The motor depending on the model of bike can either have throttle similar to a motorcycle or will automatically kick in and adjust to how the biker is pedaling. Price of these bikes can range from a few hundred dollars to more expensive depending on the model.
