About  a decade ago, not many would have expected bicycles to be a  rage in  time, but with the rate at which fossil fuel sources are  depleting  today, we’re left with no option but to head back to the  bicycles.  They’re clean, don’t require any visits to the gas station,  are easy to  maneuver in traffic congested streets and are far safer than  their  speedy counterparts. The only thing they lack is some speed that  makes  them a viable option for a daily commute to the office. Bike   manufacturers are trying to make them fast and relaxing with the   addition of electric motors, which gives bikes a respectable speed and   adds a touch of comfort as well. Here is a list of 20 such electric   bikes that can make the streets of the future green, silent and   pedestrian friendly:
• Volkswagen Bik.e:
Volkswagen  has just recently unveiled its production-ready electric  bike dubbed  the Bik.e.  The Bik.e features an ingenious folding mechanism that folds  it to a  footprint identical to that of a car spare tire. The company  believes  that the Bik.e will see production possible before the end of  the year.  Weighing about 20kg, the electric bike has a range of 20km  and a top  speed of 20kph. The company states that the bike could easily  be much  faster, but the top speed has been limited to 20kph, as it  enables the  machine to be ridden in Germany without a helmet.
• WINORA town:exp:

The  WINORA  town:exp is a 20-inch E-Bike, which is made for the urban   environment and according to the requirements of young and trend affine   users. The bike combines the agility and compactness of a 20-inch   compact bike with the comfortable upright riding position of a 28-inch   one. The stiffness of the mono tube frame gives you a safe and   controlled ride. The town:exp will be made available in four colors -   white/cyan, black/orange, sand/lime and orange/white. The introduction   retail price is €1999 and the regular price will be €2199.

• M55 EVO-001:
Billed  as the “Ferrari of Electric Bikes”, the EVO-001  is scheduled to be  launched sometime in May this year. The bike will be  unveiled in two  variants, the street legal one that will get a 250W  motor and an  off-road version that will include a powerful 1300W motor.  Neither of  them features a manual accelerator and the motor speed is  controlled by  the speed at which the user is pedaling. Both the bikes  will be  powered by 20.7Ah 39.6V battery packs, which propel the sport  variant  to a top speed of 43mph.
