Video: Ultra Motor A2B electric bike takes the effort of out riding

We're all pretty lackadaisical here at Crave. We're so lazy, we use a remote control to operate our remote controls. Anyway, our slothful eyes lit up at the Gadget Show when we spotted this Ultra Motor A2B -- a bicycle with a built-in electric motor. That's right, chums, you can now pop to the shops, ride to work or win the flippin' Tour de France -- all without breaking a sweat.

It's available in two flavours: the A2B Metro is a power-on-demand model, which powers itself without pedal assistance from the rider, while the A2B Hybrid is a power-assisted model that kicks in while you're pedalling, to give you an extra boost. Both have a top speed of 15.5mph with a 20mph boost mode, a range of 20 miles, and a charge time of 5 hours. It'll be available in UK soon for £1,949.

Watch the video to learn more, and to see us persuading uber-toff Raef, from the hit TV show The Apprentice, to take it for a spin. What beautiful posture he has.
