Healthy Commuting with a Kick

I read the article in EV.com which clearly may show a new trend to keep healthy without all the sweat. http://www.ev.com/ev-guides/ev-2-wheelers/mini-bikes/commuting-to-work-via-electric-bicycle-is-no-sweat.html
Some Excerpts:

“Seeing a bevy of briefcases and bicycle helmets on the way to/from work seems to be a new trend!
These new ebikes (electric bicycles or hybrid bikes) do not require a special license or registration beyond those required for a non-motorized bicycle. Standard road rules apply, which allows one to commute to work or leisurely use designated bike paths and lanes.
When cruising on electric power, this alternate commuter method of getting to work is literally no sweat at all. While all your fellow commuters are stuck in bumper to bumper traffic you’ll be flying by them at speeds up to 28km per hour (17 mph).
Not only does riding an electric bike to work help save the environment, but it can also significantly reduce the amount you currently spend on parking fees and fuel bills. Many people are surprised to find out that the lithium battery pack on these electric bicycles only costs approximately five cents for a full charge. These bikes also use many standard bike parts, so they are cheap to maintain.
For most workers riding a standard bike to and from work, even on days with nice weather can be rather problematic, due to lack of showers or changing facilities at their place of work. However, with an electric bike you have the option of being propelled totally just by electric power, even though you could peddle if you wished to still get a work out.
It is in the best interest of almost any business to install a few more bicycle racks out in the company parking lot, which not only helps the environment by keeping cars off the road, but can also serve as a potential fitness outlet for employees and customers. Studies have shown that paying close attention to personal health and fitness helps to minimize the need for unscheduled doctor’s visits, which in turn lowers overall health care cost.”
Additionally, with companies such as Car Charging Group Inc. CCGI , setting up charging stations all over America, finding a location to charge a bike for 5 cents won’t be difficult at all.
