Sanyo Eneloop bicycle range expands

The Eneloop brand from Sanyo is not limited to just one of the best rechargeable batteries in the market, it also encompasses bicycles with a couple of models hitting the deck this time round – the CY-SPL226 and CY-SPL224 which boast a next-generation riding mode-Eco Charge Mode. This new Eco Charge Mode features regenerative charging control that enables the rider to actively charge the battery while going up and about on flat roads, paving the way for a new style of energy-creating models. Regenerative charging is rendered effortless when riding, and you will remain comfortable at your own pace. Theoretically, cycling 1km in Eco Charge Mode over flat ground is able to generate enough electricity to travel about 300m in Power Mode. Expect to fork out around $1,800 for the new Sanyo Electric Hybrid Bicycle as it hits the Japanese market this April 21st.
