A2B Ultra Motor, Relaunched and Reloaded

Share this post Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted May 02, 2013

Though we didn't make it to the RSVP relaunch event in San Francisco - too busy training new employees - we got the details about the new A2B relaunch by phone and press release from our folks at Ultra Motor - now A2B. 

A2B has always been the company's flagship e-bike. Everyone pretty much called them A2B anyway, so the name change was easy and we like it. 

What we like even more is the A2B Metro, now called the A2B Shima e-bike, unleashed and given some wings. The bike, still with the same uber comfortable ride, wide tires, front and rear suspension can now cruise at e-speeds up to 28MPH. 

28 MPH is a good fast speed. 20 is a good speed, but it can leave you wanting more, even if you know you don't need it. 

With the Stromer Platinum now out, also pumping out 28mph-ish speeds, it's good to have the A2B in the same ballpark but with greater comfort, more features and less price than the Stromer. 

It's still not light in weight, but as a point a to b cruiser the A2B is a bike you can ride every day.

STOP BEING GRUMPY AND RIDE YOUR BIKE

Share this post Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted April 18, 2013

Riding bicycles could very well be the key to happiness. I don't know about you, but I'm rarely unhappy on a bike. I've seen people who aren't happy on a bike, but not many- and even they are likely involved in some process of something they're working through while riding, to eventually achieve that happiness. 

STOP BEING GRUMPY AND RIDE YOUR BIKE

So Many Places to Ride, So Little Time

Share this post Twitter Facebook Tumblr Email Posted April 18, 2013

The best thing about riding a bike for fun and fitness is that you don't need to get anywhere to enjoy great riding. Once you're on your bike, you're already there. 

In our immediate area, Suburbanbikes is located near some of the most beautiful riding spots in the country. Here are some of our favorite

Cañada Rd near Highway 280. Every Sunday this road is closed for Bicycle Sunday - the road cyclist dream come true. You can ride free of cars from Hwy 92 all the to Filoli and stop for lunch. 

The Bay Trail is a flat land path and paved urban trail that sort of runs along the San Francisco Bay peninsula area. 

Water Dog trail system is a near by canyon and network of mountain bike trails and just near that is another trail system called the Sugar loaf in the San Mateo / Belmont Hills. 

Just up Woodside Rd on Skyline there are an endless network of MTB specific trails to be found. Skeggs Point and Purisma Trails are among the best. 

The Stanford Loop is a great place for a ride. 

The Coastal Trail in Half Moon Bay is one of our favorite rides

Riding a Vanmoof will help you not only by getting the blood flowing and your lungs working, but by inspiring you to develop better designs through the appreciation of the design that is built into each Vanmoof.
