Electric bikes get second look as the borderland grapples with gas prices
EL PASO, Texas – At a maximum speed of 28 miles per hour, e-bikes can only go so fast. But their popularity is soaring as gas prices rise.
El Paso businesses are offering various models. Electric bikes provide you the ability to pedal like a traditional bike but give you added power to go longer distances or climb steeper hills without getting tired.
Electric bikes can cost between $1,000 to $10,000 or higher.
ABC 7 spoke to a bike expert at Crazy Cat Cyclery, who said they have new and used models that range in tiers and prices.
Harley-Davidson known more for gas-powered motorcycles has joined in on the trend - developing their own line of e-bikes.
