Funky Cars > Sanyo rolls out hybrid bike with 85km driving range

[CrunchGear] Sanyo says it achieved this impressive driving range by developing a battery that automatically recharges (at least to some extent) when the driver brakes or drives downhill. Other modifications include a front basket that can carry up to 10kg (3 times more than the baskets in other Sanyo hybrids) and tires that are 20% wider than previous eneloop bikes.

[CleanMPG Forums] 'Hybrid' bikes? - CleanMPG Forums: There is still a lot of confusion about eBike status (they are treated like bicycles), and that leads to motorists yelling at them to get back on the sidewalk (wrong), and cyclists yelling at them to get off the public bike paths (usually those driving the scooter style, but also wrong).
