Tasman Wave Commuter eBike from Kalkhoff USA

The Tasman was designed specifically for urban cruising. Its near-silent Panasonic motor and intuitive pedal-assist function provides a fun and environmentally friendly way to get around town quickly�without even breaking a sweat. Top-of-the-line components and a European styling give this bike a sleek, modern look, and a fully enclosed chain guard protects against rain and dirt.

This 2010 version of the Tasman is available in the wave or (step-through) frame style, popular with both men and women who want to avoid swinging their leg over the bike at each stop and start.

�The ride is great and you quickly become addicted to the motor's liquid power. The crank-drive motor really is the way to go in terms of efficiency and seamless, intuitive power delivery. They say you feel bionic when you ride this bike and it really is true. I have ridden 40+ miles in a day and have yet to top out the battery's capacity. The Tasman Wave frame with its practical accoutrements (chain guard, fenders, built-in wheel lock) allow for comfortable commuting in office attire.

I personally think that Kalkhoff makes the best electric bike available today in the U.S. Whether you want to get more exercise, do your part to limit climate change, or just enjoy the great outdoors, you can�t go wrong with an electric bike.

Happy riding, and let's hope we all see more e-bike riders out there!
