I have war stories and scars on my leather jacket, and a cracked rib from squeezing the throttle on a modded out gas scooter! The stand up kind. Ouch!

:-D

I test drove my first electric bike yesterday. The LaFree, a 3 year old model. And all I can say is ...... WOW!!!!!!! You get this surge of power and it's completely silent. It feels like everything is downhill. :-D

I'm going to try to test drive a few other models. If you have a dealer for this near you, definitely give it a try. :-)

-- gas powered scooters drawbacks are 1) loud and draws attention or 2) requires a motorcycle license or 3) expensive, etc.
