Eric Hicks was commuting every day in the challenging terrain of San Francisco on a high powered electric bike, an electric bike that changed his life . He soon convinced many of his friends to buy electric bikes, so he would have people to ride with. Regular Sunday rides through beautiful San Francisco occurred, with large gangs of ebike riders. Many of these riders had frighteningly fast home built electric bikes, and before you knew it dramatic ebike races ensued.
Eric saw a real need to document the exciting movement he was a part of. Electricbike.com was started by Eric in 2012
He is part of a group of enthusiasts committed to movement via electric bike. He is a true believer that electric bikes should and will become a viable form of transportation.
Eric knows first thand the potential in the available technology for electric bikes, and sees a real need to write, review, and provide honest feedback to help people realize the true potential of ultra light electric vehicles.
Electricbike.com has a no advertising policy to ensure that our reviews and articles are always honest and unbiased.

Hi! we developed a new system able to offer runflat effect on e-bike. It is based on a patented valve. Using a tubeless ready rim, we can install our double chamber system and then no way to get the tyre out of the rim. In case of puncture, you can go on riding using the second chamber. Now we developed also the rims ready for the system. It is not a prototype, we are already selling and I guess everybody will look at it in next exhibtions.If any interest, let me hear. Thanks,
