University of Tennessee to launch first e-bike sharing program in the US!

By late this summer, the Univ of Tennessee will launch an innovative e-bike share program using pedal assisted solar powered electric bikes. The university specifies a 25 % decrease in CO2 emissions from campus transportation activities. This program was modeled after Sanyo's recently installed community bike share program in Tokyo using 100% solar energy.

    Thanks, Cynthia -

    I'm waiting for an electric motorcycle - there are several out, bvut the cost is high. Torque in electric motors is independent from rpm's so they generate max torque right off the line and really scoot. Range is an issue.
