PiCycle Electric Hybrid Bike Charges Built-in Battery Using Human Power

Coming from the house of PiMobility, the “PiCycle” is an eco-bike with a hybrid propulsion system that when required becomes a moped/scooter, thanks to the built-in electric motor. Featuring a human electric hybrid plug-in operating system, the PiCycle harnesses the human power, used to pedal or run the bike, to charge the on-board lithium-ion battery in a sustainable manner. The bike also integrates a Shimano semi-automatic 8-speed transmission to ride up hills with ease and reach the top speed of 20 mph, with a range of 20 miles, on flat tracks. The patented monocoque arch frame of the PiCycle not just allows a trendy design but provides a stable and cool environment for the battery pack as well.

Amazing facts-Most colorful river

The Most Colourful River In The World

The river shown in the photographs is the Caño Cristales, which is located near the town of La Macarena in Columbia, South America. The river, world famous for its colourful display, has been called "the river that ran away to paradise", "the most beautiful river in the world" and "the river of five colours".

During Colombia's wet season, the water flows fast and deep, obscuring the bottom of the river and denying the mosses and algae that call the river home the sun that they need. And during the dry season there is not enough water to support the dazzling array of life in the river. But during a brief span between the wet and dry seasons, when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss bloom in a dazzling display of colors. Blotches of amarillo, blue, green, black, and red - and a thousand shades in between - coat the river.
The part of the river where the colourful blooms occur is quite isolated and is not accessible by road. Adventurous tourists can now fly into La Macarena and then make their way to to the river site on foot as part of guided tours. The site was effectively closed to tourists for several years because of guerrilla activity in the region along with concerns about the impact of unregulated tourist traffic. However, the site was reopened to visitors in 2009.
