from calstart.com 10/02/98 - Mercedes-Benz Launches its 'Hybrid Bike' Cologne, Germany - Mercedes-Benz has launched an electric bicycle, calling it a "Hybrid Bike" and "a true Mercedes-Benz." The Sachs-built bike uses a Sanyo hub motor in the rear that provides up to 300 watts of boost to 12.4 mph (20 km/h), then gradually reduced power until 15.5 mph (25 km/h). Above that, the rider must pedal on his own if faster travel is desired. Unique features on the three-speed bike include hydraulic brakes, a grease- and maintenance-free drive belt, hydraulic brakes and nickel-cadmium batteries. The bike's generator light also stores power in capacitors so that when stopped, the system lights the rear taillight for four minutes. Mercedes claims a range of up to 18.6 miles (30 km) on one charge; recharging of the removable battery pack is done using an off-board charger. The bike retails for about $2,057 (3250DM) and will only be sold and serviced through Mercedes automobile dealerships.
