Just when you thought that bicycles thrived on pedal capability, along comes inventions like an electric bicycle to help you use less of those leg muscles whenever you attempt to attack a steep mountain pass. The Panasonic Lithium Vivi RX-10S Electric Bicycle is one such bicycle, using a regenerative braking system automatically to help store energy in the battery - perfect when you’re heading down the slopes after the faraway ride up. Depending on the riding conditions, you will be able to enjoy an

assisted travel range of up to 125km, which is pretty far by any standards. The battery itself will lend 2.5kg of weight to the bicycle, but it more than makes up for it by offering some juiced up pedal ability when you need it most. Panasonic is targeting a 3,000 sales target with each bicycle retailing for approximately $1,395.
