Luxury in the recent years have garnered quite a stellar reputation for not only being eco-friendly, but also for bringing a more bespoke elegance to personal transportation. When you throw in the most expensive electric bikes in the mix, the end result turns out to be a high end line of efficient as well as gorgeous electric motorcycles and electric bicycles that have been designed and developed keeping in mind the rapidly congesting streets of major metropolitan cities globally. Being an avid traveller I love to cycle around destinations, which is why I bought a Wisper 806 as it folds down and is easy to travel with!
Just recently, the city of San Francisco announced its experimental electric bicycle sharing program, where in riders will be able to hire state of the art electric bikes on an hourly rental model. Furthermore, this eco-friendly commute program will also provide e-bicycle trailers for those need to haul cargo with them. The sharing initiative is being implemented in collaboration with City CarShare, while the Transportation Sustainability Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley will be tasked with the monitoring and assessment of the project. As per the San Francisco electric bike sharing imitative, some 45 e-bikes are expected to be rolled out later in 2012, along with an additional 45 added to the list by the end of year 2013.
