E-Bike

As I have mentioned before, this daily drivel comes from what ever I am think about at the time I start writing. It is usually something I have read or seen during the day. I tried writing about things I saw or read last week, but I keep forgetting them. The more ridiculous something is, the more likely I will think and write about it. Such is the case today.

Ford, the people with all the cars and trucks, now has a concept E-Bike vehicle. The drive system is subtly embedded in the 5.5 pound aluminum and carbon construction frame and is powered by a lithium-ion battery. Remember, I did say the more ridiculous.

Ford says, "There is a synergy between car drivers and potential E-Bike users." Could we get a show of hands on that one?

According to Ford in MyFordMag, E-Bikes have the potential to become the vehicle of choice for short and medium distance destinations, replacing traditional bikes and large cars. Another show of hands please.

Sure you won’t have to worry about the battery going dead. All you have to do is worry about you going dead, since you will be doing the pedaling when the lithium-ion dies.

No, they do not come with a clothes pin and card to clip onto the spokes.

That’s an option.
