Enter the bike for the inactive: An electric, such as the Ultra Motor A2B Metro, which requires absolutely no effort to ride, other than a sense of balance. A power-on-demand electric bicycle, no pedaling is required unless you want some light exercise. Just twist the grip and go. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/uptospeed/2009/05/getting-from-a-to-b-on-ultra-motors-a2b-electric-bicycle.html http://www.ultramotor.com/us/product/

Triumph's newest version of the famed Bonneville is like a single-malt Scotch from the islands: It's lost much of its edge with time. A modern take on a 50-year-old classic, it's for riders who desire the mystique that the names "Triumph" and "Bonneville" conjure without the hassle, treachery and discomfort of bikes from the era in which those names were made famous. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/uptospeed/2009/05/triumph-celebrates-bonnevilles-50th-with-new-se.html#more

Piaggio Unveils a 141-MPG Plug-In Hybrid Scooter. The MP3 Hybrid that Piaggio rolled out at the big international motorcycle expo in Milan, Italy, combines a 125-cc gasoline engine with an electric motor in an easy-to-ride three-wheeler that reportedly could do zero to 60 in around 5 seconds. http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/11/piaggio-unveils.html

Perhaps it’s time to rephrase that dig. How about this: the 2009 Sportster is the Harley for people who want a stylish ride that gets 60 miles a gallon on the highway. That’s according to the E.P.A., which also rates the 2009 XL 883 Sportster at 45 m.p.g. in town. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/05/automobiles/05HARLEY.html
