London: Imagine a sophisticated bicycle that matches the speeds of a bike with just the press of a button. Well, your fantasy has now become a reality — thanks to an incredible new e-bike by a auto manufacturer. The new e-bike Worthersee, built on motor racing design principles, has every possible gadget that you could ever need just like a Formula 1 car. Perhaps the most helpful feature is an electric motor to help rest those tired legs of the rider. But this isn’t just any electric motor, it can help build speeds up to 80km per hour, the Daily Mail reported.

Slow & Steady, These Tours Show You Hidden Facets Of City And Enrich Experience
New Delhi: It’s difficult, maybe impossible, to truly explore Delhi from the confines of a tour bus or through the rehearsed words of a guide. As the city evolves, it’s only natural that the ways of viewing it also adapt.

Chandigarh: The Punjab Government has given the nod to a Central Government scheme to give free cycles to girl students belonging to minority communities.
The Centre had sought the views of the state in this regard. Sources said in the first phase, free cycles would be given this year to girl students of Class IX across the country in an effort to check the dropout rate at the high and secondary school level.

In an effort to encourage the use of bicycles that would make the summer capital of the state pollution-free, the authorities organised a cycle race today that attracted people from all walks of life. The race was organised by the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) at the Zabarwa Park here in collaboration with various government departments, including Social Forestry, Pollution Control Board and Tourism, as well as the Red Cross. Divisional Commissioner, Kashmir, Asgar Samoon flagged off the race in which a large number of cyclists, especially schoolchildren, took part.

The Planning Commission cited shortage of funds as it punctured the Union Urban Development Ministry’s ambitious plans to popularise bicycle usage in metro cities. The Plan panel has refused to dole out Rs 150 crore to the Ministry for the Public Bicycle Scheme, which was proposed to be rolled out in ten cities from the next fiscal year
