Mongoose Electric Bikes
If you aren’t quite fit enough to ride your bike to work and live within 18 miles, you can go with this electric bike option from Mongoose. Mike and I saw it the other day at Shopko for less than three hundred dollars, so for just a small investment, you can have transportation to work.
Here is a close up of the motor. It plugs into a wall and is supposed to take you between 15-18 miles on a single charge. While you’re working your way up to being able to do it yourself the whole way, this little motor can help you up hills or get that last mile in.
Here is a close up of how the chains are attached. The motor has a gear on one side and your pedals have the gear on the other side. It’s a very efficient setup. You can’t beat the gas mileage! When gas prices are so high right now, the idea of limiting my dependence on my car is very appealing. For only $280, I can have another option and so can you!
You can find out more about the bikes on Mongoose’s website:
Great Bike, powerfull battery, very good bike alone without battery, turns very nice, battery halps on wheelies, tire too slick for some power turns.
