    Battery Powered Bikes

    It’s rare nowadays not to find an E or and I in front of our technology, indicating that it is smart in some way. With electric and internet powered appliances becoming a norm in most households, it is unsurprising to see the uprising of battery powered push bikes.

    With the added capabilities of propelling passengers for longer distances or up steep inclines so their legs don’t give out on long bike rides, an electric bike offers people of all ages and abilities a bicycle option to cater for their needs.

    Using an onboard battery and motor, an e-bike can aid users to traverse both on and off road at the push of a button. Energy efficient and good on the knees, a typical e-bike battery will take anywhere from 2-6 hours to charge, providing its cyclist with speeds of up to 18 miles per hour.

    Weighing in at around 7kg or more, the battery does give the bike more weight, but with the added assistance it is hard to notice. When used for extended periods peddling yourself can prolong the battery life, and whilst chargers are portable, a rider need never fear of losing power, as the bike remains usable in the traditional way regardless of the motor.  

    With long-distance commuters in mind, e-bike designers have also thought to make their bikes fold up for easy storage. This is ideal for train users going to larger cities on a regular basis, as they do not need to be concerned with how to get from the train station to their destination once they alight. Instead, by taking an electric bike, they can store it in the carriage, ride upon arrival and even take the bike inside with them, folded up and less likely to be stolen then as it would be chained up on the street.

    An electric bike is also a great health imitative for people wanting to peddle to work but not have to deal with the issue of sweating. Whilst the battery will take the onus off you have to push to keep up the pace, enough peddling is still required that you can get your daily exercise requirements in. An added boon for commuters also include better speeds then simply walking or having to push beyond what is comfortable, should you find yourself running late.

    E-bikes are also a great way of socializing and encouraging others to ride more. With statistics claiming the average peddle bike leaves the shed only twice a year, it is important to our health and that of our loved ones to get out and about more. A great way of doing this is via a battery powered bike. Having to peddle occasionally will motivate even the laziest people to take up the bicycle and go for a long ride. With the battery aiding them, they will be even more motivated knowing they have travelled a longer distance then they would have if they had gone out of sheer force of will alone.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
