As it so happens, I ran into the owner of "Vanguard Bicycles" in downtown Santa Monica and got a chance to see his hybrid bicycle up close. In our interesting discussion about electric bicycles I found out that he has a video up on YouTube showing his bicycle in action, rolling the streets (and along the beach) in Santa Monica California. You can also watch it below.
NOTE: It may be nice to see several of the bikes of the "Westside Impressionz" (a low rider bicycle club based in Santa Monica/Venice) be retrofitted with electric assist motors like the Vanguard Bicycle.
