Move over electric cars , now comes the sleek electric bike.Ultra Motor has developed and manufactured a state of the art electric bike – A2B , specifically for urban transport across USA.Its makers describe it as a having a heart of a bicycle and the soul of a scooter ! The A2B is a fusion of an electric bicycle and a scooter and is powered by a proprietary motor that produces sufficient torque to ensure comfortable ascent and descent.Additionally energy is also stored in lithium ion batteries which may be charged as easily as recharging a laptop ( huh !!! is it that simple ??  ).The A2B also has features such as full suspension and a large sized seat for comfort.

According to the Texas Transportation Institute , gridlock’s( traffic jams) cause an estimated loss of 2.9 billion gallons of gasoline , a sizeable quantity relevant particularly in the present era when gasoline is $4/gallon.As compared to currently available alternatives such as the electric cars , the A2B offers a decent value proposition particularly in terms of cost.
