Generally speaking, NDEW events focus on electric cars, but there are other electric vehicles out there that make a lot of sense, especially to those of us who are hoping to save money while saving the earth - electric bicycles.
If you've spent much time around this blog, you know that the MH staff is pretty crazy about electric bicycles. And we love to list reasons why they make so much sense, but don't take our words for it. A while back we re-posted a trying-out-an-ebike blog post from Mr. Money Moustache - a blog based on financial wellness and living a better life. Well, MMM has now posted a follow-up to that original post - and it sounds like the verdict is very favorable for electric bikes. Check it out:
Here are some of my favorite e-bikes in the less than and equal to $2000 category:
The Riide e-bike $2000
gneZe e101 Sport $1500
The Radwagon $1700 ($1400 if you act soon) (drool)
The Daymak Beast ($2000 for base model - yes, it's a stretch, but it has pedals. :-)

Do you want to learn more about building your own e-bike(for a lot less money)? Check out the Endless-Sphere forum.
Do you want a low-carbon and inexpensive commuter that won't drench you in your own sweat? Check out an e-bike!
May you find yourself enjoying your commute, saving the earth, and treading lightly!
