My gf rides and electric bicycle to work every day and loves it. In heavy traffic, she's always home faster then anyone else, no insurance, no gas, no noise !!! She has an iZip. It's extremely reliable, the front basket can hold 60lbs, and on the rear she can hold even more. Her bike will hold a weeks worth of groceries. Here work is less then 3 miles away. For Christmas, I gave her an bluetooth speaker that fits in her cup holder so she can rock out as she goes down the road. She links it to her playlists on her iPhn. Because it's a bicycle, it cannot go faster the 20mph on it's own power. I think it has a range of more then 20 miles, and here in this state, she can also ride on sidewalks if she so chooses.
