I have never used an electric bike before, but I believe that they would be quite useful when you don’t feel like pedaling anymore. This Rubbee (which I assume is pronounced like “ruby”) allows the user to turn their ordinary bike into an electric one (just like the title says).
The Rubbee is a Kickstarter project, and it is supposedly able to connect to the bicycle in a matter of seconds and…viola! The bike, it is electric! This would only add a burden of 14 pounds, and it will take about 2 hours to charge fully. It is good for 15 miles of travel, at a top speed of 15 miles per hour.
As I mentioned before, this is a Kickstarter project, but it has already met its funding goals. I suppose it won’t be long before the Rubbee will be available everywhere, but I am not certain what the price will be. It will be cheaper than buying an electric bike.
