Just to disclose, I am an employee of the Trikke company. That said, I am also an avid rider of both the strictly body powered line of vehicles, and the electric line of vehicles. I personally use one of the Trikke Pon-e 48v for my daily commute to work to save gas and reduce my carbon footprint. Simply said, I love, LOVE, my pon-e. ![](http://www.trikke.com/EV/CartMIDDLEimage48vWhite.png)

I snagged the specs from the trikke website:  
– Foldable lightweight robust frame built with  
aircraft grade aluminum AL6061  
– Fully adjustable handlebars  
– Dual disc brakes with parking lock  
– Aluminum rims with Abec5 sealed bearings  
10" front 9.5" rear, motorcycle grade tires  
– slick aerodynamic design fairing,  
UV resistant and impact absorbing ABS.  
– 350W brushless free-wheel hub motor  
(550W peak power)  
– 48V-11.25Ah Panasonic lithium-ion quick-swap battery  
– 46lbs with battery – 37lbs w/out battery  
– 18mph (25km/h) max speed – motor only

I seriously recommend giving these a shot. You can use it for in-town commuting or small runs to the store, and it is a blast while you save your gas.
