For neighborhood use and distances of 10 miles or less they are a great alternative to motor vehicles costing only about 10 cents worth of electricity to recharge.  Electric bikes and scooters are safe and easy to operate and include intelligent safety features such as automatic power cut-off, and every product uses standard electrical safety components such as circuit breakers and fuses to protect riders.  For the environmentally conscious, the most important benefit of choosing electric-power is the positive impact on the environment. Unlike gas-guzzling vehicles, electric bicycles don't burn fossil fuels and release no harmful carbon emissions.  Electric power's impact is miniscule when compared to automobiles. Electric scooters are great for kids and act as an excellent back-up or ride to school.  Retirees will find electric bikes especially useful when performing their daily commutes to the park or the corner store.  Per Florida statutes, electric bicycles and tricycles are legal with no license or plate required.  If you'd like to move and get some exercise, you can pedal just like a normal bicycle. Although you can't pedal most electric scooters, an electric bike is very versatile and will allow you to use power; pedals; or both. If you don't have the energy to pedal or don't want to get sweaty or exhausted, you can use power to assist you.  Electric Bike Depot offers several models as well as offering conversion for most bicycles and tricycles.
