Online, December 3, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Australia is known for the great outdoors and its citizens are inspired by the great weather throughout the year to savor the great sunny climate. Now electric biking a healthier way of commuting is slowly becoming popular across the nation. the country's Federal Government changes in policy have touched upon electric bike regulations in an attempt to reduce the country's carbon footprint (due to Carbon Monoxide emissions), while making transportation convenient for the masses.
One of Canberra's biggest issues, public transportation, is being solved slowly, but aggressively. Not by the light rail but a new high-tech and surprisingly affordable alternative - the electric bicycles.
The Aussie government new regulations seek to empower those keen to take to the streets in electric bikes. The electric bike has already seen great appreciation and a positive response from those looking for the health benefits of a cycle, and a electric motor for when users want a quick commute. The government has increased the allowable power output provided on the electric bikes, from the previously allocated 200 to 250 watts.
However there is still the emphasis on cycling health benefits. For this cyclists have to pedal-start the bike and the motor simply enhances the speed of the bike. The pedal also serves as a means of controlling the speed - if the rider stops pedaling, the cycle stops.
The bike speed is limited to a maximum of 25km per hour for safety reasons. This means that even those new to electric cycles, or even motorbiking will not be intimidated by the bikes.
The new bike prototype has been finalized and formally released, and is already available to select institutions. In fact the National Capital Authority (NCA) uses these bikes for their own staff's public mobility needs on a regular basis. NCA users have expressed appreciation for the electric bike.
