Smart eBike: Electric Innovation for When You're Tired of Peddling.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't bicycles invented as a human powered mode of transportation with the added benefit of keeping your fat ass in shape? Over the past year I've been seeing battery powered bicycles buzzing all over NYC and for the life of me I can't understand why. Ok fine, for the Chinese Food delivery guys I can see the applications, but for everyone else who owns one I'm just taking it to mean that they're just flippin' lazy. Apparently Smart, maker of the crappy ForTwo micro car has now decided to jump on the electric bike bandwagon as well by developing their own electric two wheeler dubbed the eBike and debuting it at the Paris Motor Show. After watching the video you can see that the eBike is extremely well made and packed with some nifty technology like a hub-mounted electric motor as well as iPod integration. Let's face it though, this is supposed to be a bicycle, not a scooter so what the hell is Smart doing building one of these? The way I see it, this bike will appeal to the same hipster urban-ites who purchased the original Smart Car. Sure it's cool, but at the end of the day it's not going to help you lose those saddlebags you've been carting around on that big ass of yours. My opinion… save the money, go buy a Schwinn and do some real exercise. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
