Sleek Brompton Bikes

March 12, 2010

Brompton bikes are the most popular bikes in our store. There’s no doubt about it. With so many options to choose from, it’s hard to determine which bikes to carry in our store that will work best for customers in New York City. We like the Brompton M3L bikes, with upright handlebars and a maintenance-free [...]

Electric Bikes, Safer than Cars!

March 11, 2010

“An electric bike?” you say inquisitively, “Aren’t those dangerous?” No sir! It is a common misconception that electric bikes are similar to motorcycles in that they are unsafe. Data collected by Christopher Cherry at the UC Berkeley Center for Future Transport (an institution name that just screams awesomeness), indicates otherwise. Electric bikes aren’t just safe; [...]

Me Write Good electric bike Stuff, You Read

March 9, 2010

Our basement full of unpaid interns are only allowed to see the light of day when they finish a well-researched article about  electric bikes and folding bikes. Come to think of it, I haven’t filled the food dish down there for a few days. I wonder how they’re doing. Here are some of the latest [...]

New BionX Rack Battery

March 8, 2010

I don’t have to list the reasons why BionX is one of our most popular electric bike conversion kits. The intuitive torque sensors provide a smooth pedal-assistance, in addition to a throttle for a quick speed boost. The BionX electric motor kit is not only the most versatile electric motor kit, it also has various [...]

BionX and Dahon, a Perfect Match

March 6, 2010

When I first laid eyes on Dahon folding bikes, I was hooked. These beauties fold up into such a compact package. Check out this official Dahon video: Unreal, right? Don’t fret; I too had to watch it twice to believe it. NYCeWheels’ rides, however, are more than portable; they’re also energized. Combine a BionX electric [...]

March Madness, electric bikes, BionX men, Brompton

March 5, 2010

Just because there’s snow on the ground doesn’t mean NYCeWheels closes down for the winter. Although Izzy is in New Mexico and Shoi is flying to Texas, Bert and I have narrowly avoided cabin fever and retained our sanity despite all of the snow. Here are some notes from February: 1. Despite what you say [...]
