The demand for electric bikes is increasing as people desperately seek cheaper alternatives for travel amid rising gas prices.

The price of regular gas was $4.26 on March 19, up over 20 percent from a month ago, and more than 47 percent from a year back, according to data from American Automobile Association. Electric bikes are seen as a viable and popular alternative to gas-fueled vehicles.
