I got a folding electric bicycle so I can do short trips in the neighborhood.
And it only cost $100! Most folding bikes without an electric motor are more than $100 used. It's nearly new and it spent most of its life in a garage. The only thing wrong with it was a loose pedal crank. But, 5 minutes with a socket wrench got it back in shape.
It's a Riviera Folding Electric Bicycle from Santa Barbara Electric Bicycle Company. It didn't come with a manual, but I plan to buy one off ebay so I can figure out ways to improve efficiency.
It's a blast to ride! I can do 20-25 mph. And it lasted all afternoon (maybe 2-5 miles). I'm a bicycle rider anyway so this thing just makes those trips that are a little longer that much easier.
