BRAND NEW [WEDNESDAY]

Sick of your gas-guzzling car or the line-up at the bus stop? Why not hop on a bike with benefits?

Introducing OHM Cycles new electric bike. Everyone is talking about the 38V lithium-ion battery, the powerful BionX motor, and its regenerative braking, which means whenever you hit the brakes, the motor slows down the bike and uses the power from braking to recharge the batteries.

And since our fair city boasts both urban and off-road enthusiasts, there’s a choice. The OHM Urban has an upright riding position, fenders, dual suspension, disc brakes, a rack, a chain guard and 12 V halogen headlights and taillights. The OHM Sport is built for rugged terrain and features a larger battery than the Urban.

To top it all off, both models offer throttle controlled power and pedal assist electrical power, which you can adjust to change how much power you want the motor to provide relative to your own leg power.

Cruise control, anyone?
