\"sanlop<\/a>We’ve written about how companies are using technology to upgrade the old-fashioned bicycle<\/a> — now you can see what it’s like to actually ride one of those bikes.<\/p>\n

Sanyo<\/a>’s Eneloop (short for energy loop) includes a battery-powered motor. Riders still pedal like they would on an normal bicycle, but they get a boost from the engine, adding to the ease and speed.\u00a0I interviewed Sanyo’s Aaron Fowles at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show about the bike, and you can see the interview in the video below. Fowles takes the bike for a spin about 3:30 into the footage.<\/p>\n

After shooting the video, I rode the Eneloop myself, and it really did feel like a smoother, easier riding experience. The bike is available at retailers now, and costs $2,299.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
