More Holiday Cargo and E-Bike Deals (Minipost - 2/3 less calories)

If you don't like Radpower Bikes, or Yuba accessories, or Evelo products, or the Ariel N-Class, or building your own electric moped, move it along - there's nothing to see here.

More details here

 

This sale is color-dependent. Me, I'd rather have my Radwagon in Orange, but for $175 off, I could ride blue happily. And the RadMini looks tough in black, especially with the new fenders.

 

Yuba sent me an email today about new accessories they now offer. Did I mention that I almost got to touch a Yuba Cargo Bike this past weekend? So close!

 

The Go-Getter Bag looks sweet and useful!

 

Don't forget Yuba's Family Boda Boda Bundle sale, Evelo's Black Friday Scale Sale, Rad's (possibly still available) Radcity discount, or Ariel's N-Class sale.

 

And for those of you inspired to build a DIY Monday-Motors-type-machine, 1977 Mopeds has a big sale on this piece of coolness, but I am not sure how much it costs without the motor and with the discount and all that stuff.

 

Picture it with your electric motor instead of that nasty little gas/oil burner

May you satisfy your consumerist desires for something green to get you around cleanly!

 

 

 



Electric Bike Discount Season Has Begun! (Minipost)

Rad Power Bikes emailed me today to let me know that I (and you) can save $100 if I (you) am (are) one of the first 75 people to order a RadCity. (I like the RadCity, but it's not long enough or orange enough for my taste, so I decided to share the opportunity with you.) Check it out:

May Myron Ebell cringe when he sees you cleanly motor by on your electric bike.

 

Thanks, Google!

 

Fossil Free Friday: A few new(ish) Electric Bikes

It's a fun time to follow electric bikes. There is something new all of the time. Here is what I am excited about in the last few weeks:

Rad Power Bikes: the RadCity

Our buddies in Seattle announced a new model this week - the RadCity. I watched the Electric Bike Review video of the RadCity yesterday, and it's had the temptation levels up for me. It's not a radical new concept or big game changer. It is a solid bike with a lot of thought put into useful details for someone who wants to use their bike for daily urban transportation. It has a built-in rack, high-powered (but not overstressed) running gear,  fenders, and a lot of durable components. Rad Power calls this a commuter bike. To me it's a commuter bike infused with a lot of mountain bike DNA to make it more rugged and useful. At 48 volts, 750 watts, and 60lbs, this thing is built to be a workhorse. And that appeals to me a great deal when I think of a do-it-all bike to live with everyday. So check it out!

28mph, $995, (temporary) free shipping (Wow!)

Next up are two new-ish offerings from Juiced Bikes.

Juiced has so far offered us two different bikes to choose from -  a cargo bike and a speed pedelec. While both bikes are appealing and not outrageously priced, Juiced just put out two new less-expensive variations of those bikes in the last few weeks. Woohoo! I like it when things get more affordable! So, if you've always wanted a Juiced but you were $500 short of the base price, you are now in luck!

A Juiced ODK for those on a budget!

 

 In the New to Us in the US and Canada department: The Italjets have landed.

 

When I was a kid, I lived near the Moto Guzzi motorcycle dealer. We'd ride our bicycles over and drool through the window at the shiny little Italjet dirt bikes - the stuff ten-year-old dreams were made of! When I was a young adult I went to the Ducati motorcycle shop and drooled over the Italjet scooters - the Dragster and the Velocifero. Well, now I can drool over Italjets again! And this time they are eco-friendly (but not in any way budget friendly.)

 

I like it!

 

As per usual, I'll have to green!

 

You can learn more about Italjets in North America at Electric Bike Report.

 

See what I mean? Lots of cool developments!

 

May you find the one that helps you to go green so that we can all breathe easier! Happy Friday!

 

PS. I still want a RadWagon!
