eBikes tested

If you've got access to The Sunday Times behind the paywall, go look at my feature on the new generation of electric bicycles there. If not, you can probably see the text clearly enough right here. This next generation are cheaper, give longer range and are lighter - and are now truly ideal for those who want to get out and ride, but for whatever reason don't want to either get a scooter or build up their leg power and stamina.

Five electric bicycles tested in The Sunday Times' InGear Test Bench section. The juiced-up Brompton-a-like GoCycle, lightweight modded Cannondale Capo (by Cytronex), a marathon Giant Twist Freedom CS, a budget iZip and quick-off-them-mark Urban Mover. But I'd still say you get fitter and enjoy your ride more on a bicycle powered solely by two legs and some food.
