When Honora Wolfe and her husband moved to the outskirts of Boulder, Colo., she wanted an environmentally friendly way to commute to her job as a bookshop owner in the city. Wolfe, 60, found her solution about a month ago: an electric bicycle. It gets her to work quickly, is easy on her arthritis and is better for the environment than a car.

At the beginning of the summer, John McLinden had a problem. Actually, make that two or three problems. The 59-year-old Denver resident wanted to get some exercise. He was annoyed at high gas prices. He was also committed to finding a greener way to commute six miles to work as a plumbing-inspection supervisor at Denver Wastewater. However, the obvious solution - riding a bicycle - was out of the question. "I've got problems in both knees. Pedaling a regular bike was too painful," McLinden said. He discovered the answer online: a power-assisted bicycle, or "e-bike."
