The engine must respond only to pedaling. It must cease to function as soon as the rider stops peddling. The motor ceases assistance at 25 km/h. The motor must not exceed 250w of nominal power. The electric voltage must not go beyond 48v. Canada 35Km/hr 500W. US 32Km 750W.

Subject to these conditions, you have the same rights as on a regular bike : civil liability insurance, the optional use of a crash-helmet, the use of bicycle lanes, low-cost maintenance etc.

At this point, you would have acquired all the advantages of a conventional bicycle ( low-operation cost, building stamina, avoiding traffic congestion etc.) without the disadvantages (perspiration, showers, uphill slowness etc.)

Why then, are there not more electric bikes on the road? There are a number of answers to this. Many people are weary and discouraged by low-quality lead-battery products. They are heavy, they lack power and are not efficient. Moreover, if a bad choice is made, you would simply and easily go back to the car.

Why is it irresistable? As it is noiseless, you feel as though you are cruising smoothly on wings and you would ride distances, which you formally found difficult, without any worry! As you ride you lose weight, gain muscles and get a cardiovascular workout. All this without having to go on a diet. The P.A.B allows you to do regular exercise without exceeding your capability and enables you to maintain stamina, and good shape of your heart and arteries. Who could ask for more? This would be the end of noise pollution.  You gain long life at a cost of eletricity at 0,001 euros/ Km !

Apart from public transportation, the P.A.B is the safest means of city transport with a death rate 20 times less than on a scooter and 4 times less than by car. In addition, it protects the environment with less pollution. You breathe in less exhaust gas than a car driver or a pedestrian! source : fubicy.org

Without stress and fuss you live a better and longer life. The P.A.B is clean and you come home from work with more relaxed than you would on a dirty and heavy scooter smelling of oil and petrol!

It also helps many of us to quit that sacro-sanct second car (forgive me father...!) to go only 5 kms a day that costs you more than 6000 euros per year !

Well, if you honestly think that the bicycle is somewhat old-fashioned and you dread looking like Armstrong without his diabolical sportmanship, why not entice yourself with electric V-BOOST scooter. You will make an important step towards petrol saving, noise pollution and keeping the air clean.

MOVE DIFFERENT !
