The Hybrid Bike embodies innovative new cycle technology cast in a unique German Mercedes design. An electric Sanyo motor is integrated into the rear hub and is activated when the rider moves the pedals. As pedaling becomes more difficult on inclines, the motor delivers more power, so the rider experiences an exceptionally smooth ride. The Ni Cad battery is easily removed for charging, and a display keeps the owner informed of battery charge levels.
Hydraulic brakes are completely maintenance-free.
Front and rear lights make riders easily visible at night. Permanent magnet, brush-less DC motor describes a desirable motor for an electric bike or scooter. A few companies use them now, and eventually almost every bike or scooter will use this type. But there is no brush to wear and turn into bearing-damaging dust. Thus, these motors have very few moving parts, and the only wear points are the bearings.
