KTRV Fox 12 Jade Green Store Sells Hybrid Electric Bikes
Member Center:
Boise, Idaho -- There's a new shop in town for cycling enthusiast offering hybrid bikes and scooters.
Jade Green, located in the Ram Plaza, sells high performance electric transportation.
Owners can plug their bikes into a standard outlet for three hours and then ride for 25 to 75 miles.
The scooters start at $1,000, while a motorized bike kit starts around $16,000.
The technology comes from a lithium ion battery, like those found in hybrid cars.
"Here in Boise what prompted me to start this business was the traffic congestion and the high price of gas and I wanted to stay green with the electric bicycles and scooters," said Jade Preston, the owner.
The Jade Green bike store opened about a week ago.
It's already taking orders from people around the country.
