Readers interested in learning about the growing gas-alternative market will find good information packed in this slim series. Electric Bikes describes e-bike basics, including quick-charging lithium-ion batteries, before talking about reputable e-bike companies like Yamaha and GoCycle. E-bikes shouldn’t be confused with e-motorcycles, as readers will find out in Electric Motorcycles. E-motorcycles have almost everything that a typical motorcycle does, with much higher speeds and acceleration rates than e-bikes. In Electric Boats, readers learn that e-boats have a long way to go in terms of affordability but that many boaters are interested in the environmentally friendly models. In terms of environmental impact, electric buses, trucks, and cars can make the biggest difference, ferrying people and goods with less harmful exhaust and noise pollution. While the writing isn’t particularly exciting, it’s fine standard informational text. VERDICT Worth considering if your shelves are lacking on this topic.
