Most people have never heard of them, but you can probably guess what it is and you have definitely seen one before, you just may not have known it. That’s because unless you’re specifically on the lookout for one, you won’t be able to tell the difference between a normal bike and an electric bike.

All you have to do is twist the throttle on the handle like it’s a motorcycle and the bike takes off on its own.The big takeaway here is the amazing possibilities that electric bikes present to us. Millions of people drive around in cars just to go a few miles to work, school, the store or a friend’s house when you could have done yourself and your planet a huge favor. We’re not just saying this for the environment’s sake. You would save a lot of money if you were to abandon your car and go with an electric bike. Seriously, a lot of money.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPeter Walker—reporter at the Guardian and curator of its popular bike blog—shows how the future of humanity depends on the bicycle. Car culture has ensnared much of the world—and it's no wonder. Convenience and comfort (as well as some clever lobbying) have made the car the transportation method of choice for generations. But as the world evolves, the high cost of the automobile is made clearer—with its dramatic effects on pollution, the way it cuts people off from their communities, and the alarming rate at which people are injured and killed in crashes. Walker argues that the simplest way to tackle many of these problems at once is with one of humankind's most perfect inventions—the bicycle. In How Cycling Can Save the World, Walker takes readers on a tour of cities like Copenhagen and Utrecht, where everyday cycling has taken root, demonstrating cycling’s proven effect on reducing smog and obesity, and improving quality of life and mental health. Interviews with public figures—such as Janette Sadik-Khan, who led the charge to create more pedestrian- and cyclist- friendly infrastructure in New York City—provide case studies on how it can be done, and prove that you can make a big change with just a few cycling lanes and a paradigm shift. Meticulously researched and incredibly inspiring, How Cycling Can Save the World delivers on its lofty promise and leads readers to the realization that cycling could not only save the world, but have a lasting and positive impact on their own lives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDesign or build a battery-powered electric bicycle For much of the world, bicycles are a transportation mainstay. Electric bicycles--powered by a rechargeable battery pack--are proven to deliver the highest possible energy efficiency, even compared to pedal bikes. A transportation alternative to fossil fuels, electric bicycles are fast catching on, in part because they don't require factory assembly. End-users can easily construct them with available components. The text reveals important techniques, data, and examples that allow readers to judge various propulsion setups--used in both home- and factory-made bikes--and estimate speed and travel distance for each. Numerous charts clearly present the costs, benefits, and trade-offs between both commercial and user-converted models. Key features include: Estimating motor-performance for wind, hill, and cruising power requirements Estimating battery capacity and a thorough description of battery charging Motor and motor-control options Evaluating motor-to-wheel coupling options Placement of propulsion components Configurations and performance How systems-engineering techniques can produce electric-bicycle designs that have long travel range and low life-cycle cost Testing Developments to watch A comprehensive resource for harnessing innovation, Electric Bicycles is the definitive practical guide to taking full advantage of this exciting alternative energy technology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"From traffic-dodging-bike messengers to tattooed teenagers on battered bikes, from riders in spandex to well-dressed executives, ordinary citizens are becoming transportation revolutionaries. Jeff Mapes traces the growth of bicycle advocacy and explores the environmental, safety, and health aspects of bicycling. He rides with bicycle advocates who are taming the streets of New York City, joins the street circus that is Critical Mass in San Francisco, and gets inspired by the everyday folk pedaling in Amsterdam, the nirvana of American bike activists. Chapters focused on big cities, college towns, and America's most successful bike city, Portland, show how cyclists, with the encouragement of local officials, are claiming a share of the valuable streetscape."--BOOK JACKET.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe deteriorating earth’s environment is a matter of concern for all. Though the leaders of different countries are trying to face the situation at a greater level, but every individual can contribute in this regard. We use different things in our house or office. These are derived from plant, animal or mineral products (the natural resources). Less we use them, less is the demand on natural resources. We can help to protect the environment while acquiring, while using and while disposing them off. We should acquire that much of things which is exactly required for us (acquisition). Once acquired, we should take their proper care so that they remain useful for a long time (maintenance). And once an article is damaged, we should judiciously dispose it off (disposal). If we become careful at all these three stages of dealing with our material things, we can reduce the demand on their production. Reduced production means preservation of natural resources; hence the environment. Then only the earth can be saved. Co-operation of every individual is essential. Details about these three steps are described in this book.
