ATIV: Commuting by electric bike. Fast, Fun - Go Green!

Short video about electric bicycle commuting where the typical objections against riding a bike to work are easily dissolved by choosing an electric bicycle, which has many benefits vs. a car (cost savings in the face of rising gas prices, improved health, low environmental impact while commuting using NiMH rechargeable batteries, and reduction of oil dependency). Electric bikes such as the Crystalyte Cannon conversion kit are fast (20mph), powerful (500W Motor) and make bicycle riding easy. Produced by ATIV Solutions LLC.

My personal experience...I got a bike for fitness and rode it twice in three months. I added electric assist and now I ride every day (its enjoyable). I now use the bike for getting shopping etc and find that I'm using the car less and less.

This really shows the many wonderful reasons to ride.

My wife loves our new electric Yuba Mundo cargo bike. It has replaced many of our car trips, even though we also have a 2 year old child that needs to be carried around on most trips.

Superb video. I bought an eZee Torg electric bike about six months ago and love it. I'm 67 years old and don't break a sweat, even on a 20-mile round trip, although I get exercise. All the advantages mentioned in this video are true. Why not get on board?

You "Better Check Your Local Laws First"! I live in a small Southern town in GA., U.S.A.. (Franklin, Georgia). Even under the "Law for this state, I have been nothing but "Asulted and Stopped" many times by the Cops! Threatened with Jail many times! Even with a wheel chair, there are at least a dozen people that are allowed to use them, all electric, they are "Never Bothered"! What are you supposed to do? They ignore the Law, and "Make Up Their Own Laws Here"! How am I supposed to "Win" No WAY!

I want to ride it every day (I got one in August), but since November, it pours down rain, and is friggin freezing outside. I don't want to get pneumonia.
