Electric Bicycles, it's not about replacing pedaling, it's about enhancing cycling

The purpose of this website is to introduce you with the electric bicycle world and every other electric vehicle which doesn't require any licence, insurance or paying any other taxes. Electric motorcycles or electric cars will be mentioned but only briefly, as they are not included in this free licensing and taxes zone.

The bicycle offers so many advantages over other means of transportation. It is truly a magical man-made vehicle.
