MN—Electronics giant Best Buy will sell electric bikes at some of its stores in the next month.</p>

<p>“Best Buy will be piloting electric-powered personal transportation products at some of our stores on the West Coast later this spring,” said Paula Baldwin, senior manager for Best Buy public relations.</p>

<p>Currie Technologies will be stocking Best Buy with six different Izip models, ranging in price from $499-$2,000. The Southern California-based company will also provide Best Buy with two electric scooters at $299 and $599, according to Currie president Larry Pizzi.

<p>So, if I am the first to get an electric bike and challenge the kids in my neighborhood to a race, looks like I could be the champion! I guess this gived new meaning to the phrase “you are never too old to ride a bike.”</p>

However- probably wouldn’t improve my balance issues.
We have Vespa gangs in our neighborhood.

<p>Vespa gangs, like the Mod movement in Britain in the 1960s? Very cool…</p>
