Easy city riding

Rain dampens the cobblestones and a gust of wind is blowing on the hill. This is no problem on an electric bicycle: the bike moves smoothly on the slippery stones and assistance on the uphill segments makes it easy to ride.

Large problems are solved by small acts on the part of consumers. Information and the right attitudes turn into responsible choices in a trivial way. I like to call this kind of wishful thinking the myth of the green consumer.
