By pass gas pumps, ride an e-Bike


The new e-Bike (in the centre of the picture) manufactured by Avon Cycles in India will hit the roads soon. The bike has been manufactured in collaboration with British, South Korean and Chinese companies.

With petrol and diesel prices skyrocketing, lot of people are hoping that it does sooner than later.

Here's one advantage of the e-Bike. Avon claims the bike requires two to three hours of charging to take you around for about 40 kilometers. So you don't need to fill up at the pump ever.

But don't plan an adventurous getaway on the bike as its top speed is just about 23 kilometre per hour.

Initially, these e-bikes will be made available only in Punjab, Haryana and Delhi in India and will come with a one-year warranty.

With fuel prices on the rise, you may soon find these electronic bikes fast replacing their conventional counterparts.

After it's test run, it has been decalared that it runs smoothly, softly and is beauty on the road.
