Goped ESR | Lithium powered Electric Scooter

November 24, 2009

The Goped Electric Scooter has been a hot item here at NYCeWheels. We have customers who use it for commuting, for courier services, and for just racing through the park. With a 20 mph limit, it’s slow enough to be a safe commuter vehicle, but still fast enough to navigate city streets. Historically, these electric [...]

Cold Weather and electric bike batteries

November 23, 2009

Well, it looks like summer isn’t going to stick around forever. As much as we’d enjoy a 70 degree November, I think we’re in for the typical winter of freezing ocean winds and six layers of clothing that everyone in New York enjoys so much. For some of us, the cold weather makes us leave [...]

Go-One and BionX

November 18, 2009

One of the most innovative vehicles we’ve seen in recent years is the Go-One Velomobile. This completely enclosed recumbent trike comes with headlights, turn signals, and a retractable, removeable aviation-grade windshield. The width is slightly more than a bike, with a tight turning radius and a long wheelbase to stabilize the balance. We’ve also worked [...]

Dahon Vitesse – a great Commuter Bike

November 16, 2009

In the current state of the economy, no one wants to own a bike that is going to require a lot of maintenance and pile up more costs from commuting than a subway card. That is why we decided to add the Dahon Vitesse D7 to our selection. Complete with fenders and a rear rack, [...]

Biking Rules

November 14, 2009

Over the summer, our friends at Transportation Alternatives brought us pamphlets to distribute highlighting biking laws, tips, and precautions for cyclists. These were a huge hit in our store! We managed to hand out over 100 booklets in two months. We think this concept was such a great idea, especially considering the amount of cyclists [...]
