What's more economical than an electric car? An electric bicycle, of course. With prices starting at $1,995, e-bicycles have become a popular choice for a number of Victorians.
Like an EV, the bicycles have a battery. The 10-amp battery is good for 15 to 20 kilometres on full-electric operation (how much range depends on the weight of the operator, weather and terrain). But if the operator does some of the pedalling, an e-bike can last as much as 60 kilometres between charges.
