Thread: Hybrid vs petrol - surprising outcome

looked at it for daughter a year or two ago..she lives in Christchurch and doesnt have drivers licence (dont get me started on that one) even if she did.... purchase cost wise a electric bike is similar to a small 2nd hand car with nearly zero running costs..inside city limits the 30kmph top speed is no barrier.raincoat fixs the other major disadvantage..yes no protection in a crash,but no worse off than on current push bike and darn sight more reliable, and convenient than the buses.
