There's not a single Chinese food delivery guy in New York that isn't riding an electric bike. It's practically a given that these bikes are battery-powered, and they're also covered in spray paint, cardboard, and electrical tape. What makes this electric bike different from other electric bikes sold in retail stores? And why do they look like they've been through a war zone?

In fact, in order to survive on the streets of Manhattan every day, they have to be built like tanks. Read this article and see what some of the toughest delivery guys in New York are riding.
