London, England — Ultra Motors has introduced two e-bikes: the A2B Metro and A2B Hybrid. They don’t go faster than 15mph, people don’t need a licence or have to pay road tax or insurance, and in London, they don’t have to pay the congestion charge.
Batteries run for up to 20 miles and are charged using a mains plug.
Ultra Motor spokesman Julie Farrington said: “It is a product people are really excited by because of its quality. In the past, electric bikes have been prototypes because the technology has not really been there. But now the technology has progressed enough to mean it is a more viable option.”
“The A2B Metro is a power-on-demand electric bike, a system that gives you the choice – pedal power or power on demand acceleration,” states the Ultra Motor website. “Ideal for short trips or commuting, guarantees you arrive fresh on destination.”
