Default Almost like a bike

When I had my last crash I had more luck than ever before. When a woman driving a car touched me from the back I just fallen off and almost nothing happened to me apart from few scratches on my face I am however thinking to slow down for a while. Since I had that crash I'm bit scared to go back on the bike and i thought of getting something smaller. About couple of weeks ago I watched a Gadget Show and they had in a show something quite interesting. Just Googled the A2B and thought maybe should get something like that:




It does have a pedals so legally it's a push bike but it does 20mph so could be potentially ok for everyday moving around, what do you think of that??? That would at least slow me down. And there is one more thing, maybe it's not a bike but I think it looks really cool.

When you say "That would at least slow me down", one thing does not make sense... on your last crash, the reason you got hit on the back is definitely not because you were going too fast ! Why would you blame yourself ?

With such state of mind, I agree with you: you are much better to consider the cool side of your electric scooter, and forget about a motorcycle ! You are under too much stress to be safe. Wise, but sad decision.

First, the electric bicycle is cool. I am seeing more and more of them around the city here. (San Francisco) There is also an electric motorcycle available, an acquaintance of mine bought one - and it goes like mad.

The one thing to remember, going too slow is almost worse than going too fast when you are in traffic, in a world of 400 HP Escalates and Navagators you will piss off the drivers - and sometimes they go homicidal...so ride it like a bike and keep it out of traffic. Please?

As for riding a motorcycle - please reconsider...



This is the ZREO electric motorcycle...From Santa Cruz.



This is the Electric Motorsports GPR-S made in Oakland, Ca.

Yes, I did not explain myself to clearly. I was speeding and overtaking vehicles but in one moment i was had to pull back to the lane as there was a bus coming from the front and it was too narrow to squeeze. When i was pulling to the lane there was not much space and car from the back just touched my back. Well i lost a control but again i was very lucky.

Maybe one day I will get back something more powerful. BTW these electric bikes are great fun and for now I just love me A2B Bike
