Learn to trade, for the medium/long range thinkers the below article
points to the success of ABAT.  Also regarding comments elsewhere in
this thread ABAT electric bike sales rely on China's continued
modernization not the US market and electric bikes are the natural
step in that evolution especially if you've ever had the nightmare of
driving a car through China's cities.

Lastly why do people post statements/opinions without caring to back
up their position?

The recent Hitachi (HIT) announcement that beginning next year and by
2015 it will increase its Li-ion battery production by 70 fold for
hybrids is quite significant for the Li-ion battery market. Until now,
most analysts thought that there was no real potential for use of Li-
ion batteries in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). They erroneously
believed that Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries were the best
choice for today´s HEVs, whereas Li-ion batteries were reserved for
tomorrow´s Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), Range Extended
Electric Vehicles (REEVs) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs).

This argument, of course, never made sense. It rested on the
unreasonable two-fold assumption that Li-ion batteries are not ready
for prime-time and that plug-ins (and, for that matter, REEVs and
BEVs) are a scam. For one thing, Hitachi´s notice tears apart the
first half of the above contention. For another, Toyota's (TM) latest
decision to begin mass-producing PHEVs by 2012 and Nissan´s (NSANY)
conviction that ”now´s time to go electric” completely demolish the
second half of it. Indeed one should not be surprised since PHEVs can
be really thought of as an extension of HEVs.
