VOIPers - Go Green

Skyrocketting oil prices, unabating inflation, rising daily costs, etc, etc - I think its time to go green. Electric bikes are hitting the market like never before and there's no better time than to buy one - start, now!!!

There are a number of big players like Hero Motors, TVS Motors, Kinetic Motors who have introduced some e-scooters and are introducing more models in coming months.

Also, there are a number of small players like Yo Bikes (Yash E-bikes?), Vijaya Electrics, Atlas Cycles, Avon Cycles to name a few.

Some of the best information sites for E-bikes include EVFuture.com which includes a complete list of players in this niche space and also includes pictures of vehicles with prices for some of them(http://www.evfuture.com/products/electric_scooters).
