In 1952 Panasonic released their first bicycle in Japan, and 19 years later announced the launch of their electric bicycle. They brought their version of the electric bicycle to Europe in 2000 and it struggled to gain traction, with the bike designed for use in Japan there were adaptations needed for the European market. In recent years Panasonic have released a rear hub system specifically designed for European sporty e bikes. Even more recently they have released a new 36V front hub motor system.

Panasonic regrets that North Americans aren't too "bright" re their most energy-efficient vehicles. :roll: :cry:
 
Hehe... This year being a BIG 100th Year Anniversary for Panasonic, guess the articles will be flooding out. :mrgreen:
