7 of the Coolest Rides that Save the Environment Too

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Thanks to the state of today’s economy, bicycles have never been a more popular form of transportation.  Just because you might be ditching that passe internal combustion vehicle for something a little leaner and greener doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style.

Check out these 7 cool rides you would be proud to cruise around on when you are at the beach or just hanging around the neighborhood:

7) Diamondback Della Cruz

Conjuring up memories of soap box races when you were a kid (or maybe when your parents or grandparents were kids), the Diamondback Della Cruz is a sporty yet comfortable addition to the garage.  With fat whitewall tires, flared fenders and extra thick tubing, you’ll be riding in style while saving plenty of green.

What it will set you back: $224.99

6) GT Kustom Kruiser Woodside

Cruising down the beach has never looked so good as it does on the GT Kustom Kruiser Woodside.  This isn’t Clark Griswold’s Family Truckster, rather a well styled ride that won’t cost you a dime of environmental polluting gasoline. Take it easy on this slow ride and let the wood paneling, classic fenders and red walled tires do the talking for you.

What it will set you back: $599.99

5) Electra Rat Fink

A true green machine. The Electra Rat Fink is the limo of choppers and has everything needed to make a statement. This wild ride features a sturdy aluminum frame with an extra-long wheelbase, a double-clamp fork and ape-hanger bars for cruising the boulevards in style.

What it will set you back:  $649.99

4) Electra Hawaii Custom 3

Here’s one for the ladies.  As the name suggests, the Electra Hawaii Custom 3 cruiser bike looks like it’s straight off the streets of Hawaii. The brilliant colors of the frame and rims and floral accents on the seat and grips will make your surroundings bloom and inspiring you to plant a few flowers along the way.

What it will set you back: $399.99

3) Electra Punk

If anarchy is wrong, you won’t want to be right thanks to this bike. The Electra Punk is a rebellious rig featuring a light aluminum tank frame (it only looks like it holds gas, how random is that?) with laid-back geometry, burly wheels, random red spokes and fat whitewall tires. Go ahead, take your own route, just don’t run me over along the way.

What it will set you back: $619.99

2) Electra Ghostrider

Saving the world by bounty hunting on a bicycle never looked so good. The Electra Ghostrider is a sweet ghoulish rig featuring an aluminum frame with a stretched wheelbase, a double-clamp fork and high-rise bars for cruising the boulevards in style.  Can’t you already feel your head on fire?

What it will set you back: $619.99 (plus a soul)

1) Specialized Fat Boy Moto

Tired of churning up all that extra carbon on your Harley, here’s the next best and eco-friendly way to ride. A true moto-inspired, cruiser bike, the Specialized Fat Boy Moto puts emphasis on plush design and quality construction, shucking conservative bike styling for an ultra-relaxed riding position, generous saddle and super wide tires.

What it will set you back: $2,800.00 (but think of the environment)
