Clean, quick-handling, quiet, and costing only pennies to own and maintain when compared to a car, electric bikes are the wave of the green future. But what does an electric bike consist of and how do they achieve all of these excellent qualities?

G Word correspondent David Newsom visits Electro Ride, a San Carlos, California, based electric bike manufacturer. From throttles to controllers, batteries to wind foils, David gets a look at all of the different parts that make these vehicles more than just bikes with batteries.

Join in for a ride in this exclusive online video from G Word.
