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.

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
