With congested roads, limited parking options, and a persistent need to be some where already, Ultra Motor’s A2B electric bike solves all the problems with urban transportation. At 500 watts the A2B’s electric motor can get you to speeds up to 20 mph for a distance of up to 20 miles (unassisted), front and rear suspension to help make for a more comfortable ride, and Avid BB5 front and rear disc brakes to satisfy the urge for stopping on those dimes. And if you need help peddling up those tiny hills the A2B’s Power On Demand allows riders to choose between all pedal, all motor, or a little bit of both. Set to retail for $2,700 this lithium ion powered beauty is something to consider next time you find that hill getting the best of you.

The A2B is a cool ride with decent power and range but check out the DreamE from Day 6 Bicycles (www.dreamebike.com) Amazing comfort and ergonomics – the entire bike is not just eco friendly but human friendly. Weighs less than 60 pounds and can easily be pedaled without power. The DreamE uses a 20Ah lithium iron phosphate battery instead of the typical 15Ah lithium ion used on most higher end ebikes. The DreamE also employs full size tires to take on the pot holes, curbs, and obstacles found in the real world. Finally, the frame mounted motor means rider and motor are working together with the bike’s gearing to achieve much higher speeds and torque than the typical hub motor used by A2B and almost every other bike. Also, no wires while fixing flat tires. At $2399 it comes in under the A2B price tag too. If you want cool, then check out the A2B. If you are looking for comfort, ergonomics, safety, range, power, and practicality – check out the DreamE from Day 6.
