Great to find a topic of such nature on the Hub! We feel that electric bikes are great as they allow slower people to keep up with speedy friends, you can also travel further with the same effort, ride with ease uphills and into the South Easter, commute faster. Just to name a few benefits. Chilled Squirrel, I totally agree with you! Lithium ion batters are the only way to go when it comes to batteries. This is why our bikes only come with them! One of our electric bikes was reviewed by the Hub last month, https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/gear/reviews/review-easy-motion-neo-pedal-assist-e-bike-r2306. The video at the end of the review shows what an electric bike can handle!
