The 2016 Tracker bicycle is the latest and greatest offering from American company Vintage Electric, which started capturing a whole lot of attention when it first started showcasing its retro-styled electric bicycles to the world just a couple of years.
This bicycle is claimed to be as much as 15 per cent more efficient than its predecessor, despite housing a bigger 70 watt-hour battery that is capable of offering 35 miles' worth of riding. The Tracker also produces 20 per cent more torque than last year's edition.
The Tracker bicycle is a great offering because it looks great but handles even better. This is an example of an electric bicycle that is stylish, but whose style doesn't take away from its substance and performance out on the road.
