2011 Ultra Motor A2B Metro Gen. 2 - Ride to Golden Gate Park, San Francisco

Video showing the versatility of an electric bike. It can legally ride anywhere bicycles can go and gas motorcycles and can't. The A2B Metro is a light electric vehicle that's regulated similarly to a bicycle so unlike mopeds and motorcycles, it can be used on bike trails and travel in bicycle lanes. It does not require any license, title, registration, or insurance to operate. A full charge yields 20+ miles range, 40 miles if you opt for a 2nd battery. The Gen. 2 version shown here features regenerative braking to recharge battery a bit when stopping. Quiet, emission free, and only about US 10 cents a charge. You have the option of pedaling or just using throttle like a scooter without the smoke, noise, or gas of a gas powered motorbike. Riding an electric bike can make sense for urban commuters in bike friendly cities like hilly San Francisco where bicycle infrastructure is improving.
