"...Mike Zeller has opened Mike'Z Electric Bikes (formerly E-power vehicles), a new sales and rental business, at 941 Pearl St. (LaJolla, southern California) where a postal shop used to be.
Zeller, who also has an electric bike shop in Pasadena, said electric bikes powered by a rechargeable battery that plugs into a standard electric wall socket have been around for more than 20 years but have been gaining in popularity for the last five years.
Zeller is offering eight models of electric bikes ranging in price from $550 to $3,000. He added that he would also offer a service to convert a standard bicycle into an electrical bike.
He said he chose La Jolla for his new shop because the community's many hills make it a natural to sell electric-powered bicycles that climb hills easier than standard models..."

That is exactly what I am trying to do with my company here in Chicago. I would love to hire more people if business increased.
Unfortunately there are some heavy drawbacks at the moment:
1. banks not lending, or lending at high rates
2. gas prices and public transportation prices remaining at current levels
3. 98 percent of people dont know what an electric bike is
Dispite these drawbacks, i believe in time there will be an electric bike market similar to China's. Until then, keep innovating!
