Electric bikes are all the rage now. While most are uninspired contraptions of steel and exposed motors, Vintage Electric Bike’s Cruz model combines a California cruiser aesthetic with up to 57kmh of pedal power. Fitted with an artfully concealed 52-volt battery, the handsome steed boasts an alder wood frame inlay, handsome Brooks leather saddle, and powerful LED lighting – giving stylish cyclists a good reason to head out for a spin. http://www.vintageelectricbikes.com
