(Electric Vehicle Company, LLC)

The range is claimed to be 75 miles. Not a lot, but more than any other electric bike that I know of. I called and spoke to someone at EVC a few months ago and the guy told me that they are also working with another battery producer and plan on introducing a battery pack that will take the bike 100 miles. He also told me that the pack should be ready soon after the bike begins selling and there will be a credit given for exchange of the old batteries for the new pack. Course, the guy also told me the bike was supposed to start selling by August. Doesn't look like they'll make that goal

By the way, are you a bike man?

I am not currently a bike man - though I do have my license to ride. I am seriously looking into the possibility of it. I like the BMW 650 and the new 800. I have a VERY hard time finding a bike that will fit me. I am a realatively small guy I guess. MOST bikes are too wide in the saddle area for my taste (and comfort) plus I have some back problems so seating position is CRITICAL for my comfort.

As an avid off-road rider, this is one sweet little ride. The price is inline with a top drawer off-road motorcycle. I can't wait to try one out in the woods. The only drawback I see is that an average off-road trail ride or enduro measures in at 40-60 miles and 4-5 hours. Waaaay outside the range of this little puppy.

It would be a great play bike though! Perfect for motocross or freestyle.
