ATIV: Commuting by electric bike. Fast, Fun – Go Green!
By GoingEcoGreen on Jun 12, 2010 with Comments 9
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.

and when I finally gaining speed (with my hard labor) there is another traffic light -__- and I have to stop. AGAIN.
(go ahead call me pessimistic person )
when you pedal you breath more, bike is great in nature but in city…sometimes the air is so dusty that after 2 hours of pedaling you feel like smokin WEED.
I still think that riding a bike is less safely. your body is ready for free acceleration to concrete, but in car it’s softened by safety pillow or somethin.
And riding on road: there is more cars than bicycles, so in transport crash it will be safer to be in car (vs car) rather than in bike vs car (ouch)
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 ordered a bionx from a local shop, they held my money and kept telling me there were delays when they were really waiting for a dozen or more ppl to order to get a price break. I cancled and ordered online with a company out of newyork who sent me a kit that was broken, then charged me to send it back and a 20 percent restock fee, I lost 250 dollars for nothing. Bike shops are shit and Electric bike companies dont give a fuck if they rob you.
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.
Great video!
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.
