Amur Leopard Electric Bike
Have you ever seen a concept device of some gadget, and wished that all gadgets of its type were like it? Okay, that was a little bit of a confusing opening, but this is what I was feeling when I saw designer Ryan McGinley’s Amur Leopard. I wished that all bikes were like it.
Of course, not all bikes have to be electric, but this one is. The electricity is needed for the navigational and communication unit that you can barely detect just below the handlebars.
The big selling point for me was that it opens up like it does. I’m told that space is wide enough to accommodate a laptop, briefcase, or a six-pack. It doesn’t look like it can keep the beverages cold, though.
Well, this is definitely the bike you want to have in countries where every citizen has a bike instead of a car. Also, the Amur Leopard could be the latest for those bike messengers that you see on the road in big cities.
It is something that I would like to be riding. Let us hope that Mr. McGinley finds a manufacturer and marketer of this fine product, as I will be smiling when I see the first Amur Leopard puttering down the road.

Hi, interesting topic – I have just bought an electric bike that I use to get to work everyday. I Just plug in at work to recharge it and then cycle home.
Absolutely love the bike, it was cheap and simple to use. I got it from http://www.elecbikeco.com they seemed good but I am sure there are many other companies out there too.
Good luck
Ahmet

It looks very slick, I would like to see a black and silver version. I can see a lot of office workers using these, so long as the price is right of course.
