We’ve reviewed a bunch of motorized bikes recently, so I put together a list of some of the best ones.

All of these bikes are hybrid bikes, providing motorized assistance to traditional peddle power. None of these directly emissions (although some are electric, which indirectly create emissions), making these bikes a great green method of transportation.

So why continue paying for gas and producing emissions? Get yourself a green bike and save both money and the environment!

Reviews and links for the bikes after the break.

 We’ve seen a bunch of electric and hydrogen powered bikes, all assisting your normal peddling with some green energy.

Up to now however, all of these have been running on a kind of limited fuel. Batteries die, hydrogen gets used up. This limits the range of the bike.

Well “Ther-a-Products” has come up with the answer. A hybrid human/solar powered bicycle. This bike uses solar panels to charge an on-board battery, providing you with a theoretically unlimited range. As long as you’re in the sun, you’ve got unlimited green power.

The battery is a 17 amp hr. battery, allowing you to store energy for riding at night or when it’s cloudy.

The battery is a 500watt, front-mounted battery, providing a maximum speed of about 30kph. Of course, you can peddle as well providing even faster speeds.

This is a fantastic idea for green transportation, and saving big cargo loads, could replace many of your car trips. Parking is free, just like a normal bike, and you won’t be paying for gas. Gas is free!

You can get the bike straight from the manufacturer for $1295, or as a kit for $795.
