Brief Description: 
Transportation

 The latest trend in sustainable transportation to sweep across Asia and Europe is about to hit America: "e-biking." Electric bike sales are poised to skyrocket in the United States by 2015, with an average price starting at $1,500 and average speeds around 20 miles per hour. Electric bikes appeal to commuters, tourists and others on the road for their optional "assist" functions: battery-powered motors with adjustable settings of power levels. To read more on the appeal and value of "e-biking" read Randy Salzman's article "Electric Bike Makers Vie to Gain Footing in U.S. Market" in the Winter 2011 issue of InTransition [2].
