 > ........ 4 hour recharge time

 ........ and average cost of recharge 0.53 US dollar.
I'd be interested to see what the amount of coal burned to produce that recharge is?!?

Yeah, that's always the underlying problem -- at the moment -- for electric vehicles: clean, quiet and apparently very eco, but with a really nasty, un-eco power-plant upstream, and often an even nastier fossil-carbon-getting operation upstream of that.
But there are genuinely much cleaner and ecologically more benign ways to feed the grid, albeit at a much lower level than current huge demands, about which we aren't being serious enough yet.
And as the Triple Global Crisis (Peak Everything, Climate Shift and the Sixth Extinction) becomes no longer ignorable/deniable, over the next few years, we're just going to have to address questions like that, and do something substantive about them. Or suffer the mother of all crashes. (I haven't ridden in snow for years now, either: no snow to ride in)
I suspect -- cautious verb -- that all kinds of pedalled and pedal-assisted light vehicles will be making a come-back, with alleweder forms enjoying a real renaissance, reprising the early years of the twentieth century.
Didn't know about the two kinds of elec/pedal bikes, Dirk. Could be that we only have the one type here in Britain. I've noticed a few people using them, and they seem to fall quickly into the habit of just not pedalling at all, letting the battery do it all. A drawback of electrobikes, I think. It would be better if they were mostly the power-only-when-you-pedal kind, as standard. That should make a really energy-efficient method of transport. Cof, RhG
