As gas prices rise across the globe, so does the interest in electric bicycles and other Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs). These LEVs are perfect for those who are tired of sitting in traffic or being cramped into crowded public transportation. But like any major purchase, it's worth doing right. Here are three things you should keep in mind before making your purchase.

The Segway Scooter has a maximum speed of 12.5 mph. It comes with two horsepower and is capable of traveling 15-25 miles on the cobalt mines ion battery. This traveling distance, of course, depends on the terrain, the riding style of the driver, and the condition of the batteries.

These bikes do have batteries, NiMH or lithium ion batterty stocks ion, which have to be charged. The average bike will run for at least three hours on a full charge. While at work or anywhere with electric plugs, the battery can be topped off. The range is about 20 to 30 miles, just perfect for a commuter. Some bikes also have integrated rear racks so it's even possible to get the grocery shopping done on a bike.

Nissan's Chief Operating Officer Toshiyuki Shiga while interacting with the press said that sales will likely be bigger than 200 in the U.S., where the Infiniti is already popular. He declined to give any number or cobalt ontario copyright reveal the price tag.

2 V28 Lithium Ion Batteries - The combo kit comes with two Lithium Ion batteries, a nice feature, since these batteries are expensive. One item we are looking forward to is the cold test. Over the years we have heard and read a lot of bad publicity on these batteries, not just the Milwaukee Lithium batteries, but all Lithium batteries in general. One knock is they don't work when they are cold. In our test we will leave them in the fridge over night to simulate the batteries being left outside over night.

Keeping your phone or iPod in your pocket may seem like a normal thing to do but your body heat damages lithium-ion batteries. This will shorten battery life. Leave them in your bag or coat to keep them cooler and lasting longer.

If your MP3 player has a 'lock' option, be sure to use this so you don't accidentally play your entire collection in your pocket, wasting another valuable charge cycle.
