Alternative means of bike motor transport is now big on
the agenda. Today there is a growing array of alternative
fuel and energy powered vehicles including cars, bikes
and electric mopeds. Many traditional forms of transport however
are still powered by unsustainable energy of fossil
fuels like petrol, diesel or
gas. Climate change is real and is happening. We can
do something
about it and there has never been a better time to change
your method of transport than now. It's a fact: 75%
of all journeys made are under 5 miles of which 82%
are made by car. Opting for an electric bike can be
more practical than a conventional bike - travel further,
cheaper and for less effort you are likely to arrive
at your destination faster than you would by car or
in certain cases London transport. Cut through the traffic
and do it all in silence because the ZiPee is extremely
quiet therefore it cuts out noise pollution. You can
still get as much exercise as you want simply by pedalling
it. A twist of the throttle gets you going with little
effort.
A Zero Emissions ZiPee bike is a viable alternative
to a second car, a 4x4, saloon or even the sexiest sports
car. Help reduce the amount of CO2
and other harmful pollutants including Carbon Monoxide,
Nitrogen Dioxide, Benzene, PM-10s and other carcenogens
pumped into the environment.
All it takes is a change in lifestyle habit....Read
a feasibility case study conducted by capacity.org.uk We can stop the damage from air pollution if we want
to. Substitute short car journeys with a ZiPee-bike.
A ZiPee takes you up to 45 miles on a single charge
which means you can safely travel to and from work without
building up a sweat. The opportunities to take the lead
despite political will to change travelling in the slow
lane, means you CAN make a difference. In order for
politicians to take the necessary decisions they need
the support of strong public opinion. It starts with
the individual - Campaign to your MP by demanding an
update in the law on electrically assisted pedal cycles
passed in 1983 SI 1168. This law [currently in the UK/Australia]
was proposed in 1979 and has not kept up with technology
or the rest of the world. If we in the UK are going
to lead in the Green economy, we need laws that can
allow for technological development and transport adaptation.
Electrically assisted pedal bikes such as ZiPees, have
been manufactured to travel up to 60-70 miles on a single
charge making long distance travel a viable option.
Making the change isn't going to be easy, electric vehicles
have not been popular with everyone.
