Global Electric to showcase lithium-ion bicycle at Canadian expo

The lithium-ion converted bicycle can travel at speeds over 15 mph, travel for over two hours without the need to recharge and needs only 1-2 hours to recharge.

Global Electric’s tech founder, Chaz Haba, will be hosting a seminar at the show, ‘The Power of Lithium and Global Electric Transportation.’

Globe 2004 is a biannual environmental management and technology expo, attended by 10 000 execs and government officials from 75+ countries.
