Kick-Backed, Electric-Assisted Bliss

The Aerobic Cruiser Hybrid Cycle’s potential is obvious. Put the rider in a comfortable, aerodynamic position and give him or her more than a bit of electrical assist. It looks like a win-win vehicle for a lot of people. Unfortunately, the Aerobic Cruiser is on hold (for right now). Blair Hawkins, GM of Aerobic Cruiser Hybrid Cycles, explains that the company is in the middle of a major restructure and the Gen 1 is on hold. Let’s hope they get it together because this is an impressive first generation bike.
