Taking to the hills just got a whole lot more comfortable thanks to the addition of rear suspension on the new Hanebrink III all-terrain electric bike
The Ducati-inspired RockShock air suspension is said to result in improved performance on steep or rocky trails

Article Summary
Electric bikes based loosely on mountain bikes (such as the Terminus and eSpire) might be well-suited to forest trails, but for increased stability through sand dunes and snow and ice, as well as steep rocky climbs, you're better off riding a fat-tire bike like the Hanebrink electric bike we featured back in 2010. The company has now pulled back the curtains to reveal two new models for 2012 – one with added rear suspension for improved performance on steep or rocky trails, and the other designed specifically for golfers.
