The Ultramotor A2B is by far the best electric bicycle we have tried - its the only reasonably priced product available in the US that has been designed from the ground up to be what it is: an electric moped. We don't want to cause confusion - Legally, the A2B is bicycle with all the advantages that come with it. Advantages like no drivers license, no registration, no parking tickets, bring it into your apartment, ride in all the great new bike lanes, etc.
 

 However, Ultramotor did something very smart with the A2B, and built it to the limit of US bicycle law. That means the most powerful motor and top speed legally allowed (749 watts and 20mph). Functionally, the A2B has performance much more like the classic smoke spewing mopeds all the hipsters are riding around these days, but without the environmental poisoning, gas leaks, and 'adventures' like being stuck under the BQE  hitting it with a rock trying to make it run. Silent, clean, and light enough to carry up a flight of stairs (72 lbs), the A2B is a perfect fit of technology and application. www.ultramotor.com
