I can barely explain this e-bike with a throttle, but it could change bike commutes

I'm a reporter who writes for a living, but I've met my match with the Vintage Electric Roadster. 

Here's my attempt to explain this electric vehicle: It's an electric bicycle, but you don't have to actually pedal to move forward. Instead there's a throttle button that can push you up to 36 mph (though that's only on private property technically, on city streets you're capped at 20 mph). 

Like a lightweight motorcycle or moped, you keep your feet in place and zoom forward. But you look and still feel like you're on a bicycle, and ride alongside fellow pedal-assist bicyclists, pedal-powered bikers, and road bikers in the bike lane. It's somewhat confusing, but so fun. It's classified as a Class 2 e-bike, meaning it's throttle-assisted with a top speed of 20 mph. Read more...
