I love to ride my bike. There is nothing better than going out for a nice long ride. The wind in your hair, the pedals moving under your own power.

They keep you healthy, they don’t pollute, they let you enjoy nature, they look cool, they are made of metal and brawn.

Now lets say someone invented a bicycle that had a trunk, could seat two, and could go 55 mph, got the equivalent of 300-600 mpg (without burning any gas) and all the same benefits of a normal bike. Enter the TWIKE! This bad boy is amazing. Its a human electric hybrid vehicle.
