Power Bicycling For The New Age: The A2B Metro
Looking for the old fashioned bike experience, with a touch of contemporary coolness and design? Look no further than the A2B Metro, it appears.
These folks have been making light electric vehicles since 2002 (with the motor for this one being their own proprietary design), so they know what they’re doing, and this one looks pretty interesting to us.
The feature list is impressive: It’s virtually silent when operating, and its not for slowpokes; it can accelerate to 20 mph in six seconds, which is pretty zippy for any bike. It’s got oversized seats for comfort, and it can go a long way on a charge; 20 miles with no pedaling at all, and 50 miles with your feet assisting with the pedaling, so it can actually be used to commute decent distances.
And that’s the unique thing about the A2B Metro: you can pedal yourself, with the bike assisting, or you can just ride with the bike supplying all the power. It’s the best of both worlds, and can actually be used as a car replacement. You can find out more about the A2B Metro and where to buy it at Ultra Motor.
