Electric bikes are an excellent way to get around the city or a quiet suburb. They might not yet be ideal for highway traffic, but if you are living the Urban Lifestyle, they are perfect. Especially if you are one of the many who waits to take the bus from one end of the city to the other every day, this is an excellent way to go.

UrbanScooters.com sells a wide variety of electric scooters for purchase. A fun sporty model is the X-Treme XB-508 Electric Bike. Totally environmentally friendly, the XB-508 has a speed of 20mph and a driving range of 20 miles, but you can also pedal as well, reaching faster speeds and longer distances when necessary. This is also a nice feature, because if for some reason or another you unfortunately run out of power, you always have the pedals to fall back on…no getting stranded roadside with the XB-508!

It’s nice, quiet and comes with all of the standard features that one would expect. A nice feature is also the locking rear cargo box and a cargo rack. It’s an excellent way to get around, and is certainly a nice addition to your already green lifestyle.

Be nice to the bike, however. Any Andy Samberg style stunts a-la Hot Rod are not recommended.

This bike costs $1,069.95, and is available in blue or burgundy from UrbanScooters.com.
