Tumbleweed Posted July 19, 2012 Share Electric bikes are taking off in popularity here, much more so than the 29er Other day i nearly got my ass kicked by 2 ou toppies on battery powered mtb's who did not want to let me overtake them, luckily they took the left fork and i was going right.... I played with this bike at the weekend. It's the little brother of Silverback's e-bike, the Starke E, so it doesn't have the integrated motor, but it had a nifty USB charger port… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can plug in and charge your iPod or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted July 19, 2012 Share The hub is a dynamo thingie. You can plug in and charge your iPod or whatever. No there's an idea to save energy and get fit So now you need to find out how many hours of riding it takes to fully charge a flat iPod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
