Electric bikes as a transportation alternative
|
Remember how much fun riding a bike was? I used to ride a bike daily to school. My Schwinn was also my wheels for work – to deliver newspapers. It is time to consider using bikes again for errands and for commuting to work. But now I don't have to pedal unless I want to! |
Industrial America was built around the internal combustion engine, powered by abundant and cheap petroleum. We love our automobiles, and this is not likely to change in the near future. However, we can expect to see significant changes in how our cars are designed and used because of increasing world competition for resources. Innovative solutions are needed for the growing problems of:
- Increasingly expensive gas prices
- Dependency on foreign oil supply
- Air pollution
- Congestion in our cities and roadways
- Sedentary lifestyle affecting our health
Mālama is Hawaiian, to preserve and protect. Electric bicycles used as an alternative for some uses of automobiles can provide a enjoyable, inexpensive, healthful, eco-friendly conveyance. Our company was founded to provide a range of electric bikes to foster a fun way to contribute to transportation efficiency. We believe that the traditional noncyclist often needs an utilitarian-type bike – designed for comfort on the pavement, and easy to ride and maintain.
Our company started in the Monterey Bay Area of California's idyllic central coast. This area's great natural beauty and gorgeous bike trails make it one of the best places in the world for both bike commuting and recreational riding. At the same time, hilly terrain and suburban spread make cycling inaccesible for many residents. Electric bikes satisfy the needs of these casual cyclists while helping to reduce traffic congestion and protect the fragile environment.
We import, assemble, and assure the quality of a line of electric bicycles that have been selected as the most cost-effective solution to needs of a variety of consumers. We offer something for those looking to avoid daily dependence on driving an automobile to work or for errands, as well as a choice for the cyclist who wants an efficient bicycle that can add a power boost on demand. More models, and an expanding product line will be added as technology expands, costs decrease, and consumers find additional uses for this alternative transportation.
Our e-bikes are sold primarily through dealers, but we do offer online Internet sales.
