Relaxing in the Fosscati Owners Tent at the Bikes and Kites Festival at Brunswick Heads in March 2009 are Geraldine and Valerie with motor-assisted bicycles. These vehicles and many others like them have been used around the NSW northern beaches for several years

Weighing in at 35kg, these power-assisted pedal cycles can be expected to achieve a fuel economy of 1 litre per 100kms, which is about 1/3rd that of a small motor scooter.

This is an electric-assisted pedal cycle with hub motors in both front and rear wheel, with estimated total motor power of 500watts.

This power-assisted pedal cycle would be very handy getting around Hobart's hilly terrain.
