In 2012 Electro Force cycles made their debut as a commuter cycle for commuters to ride to work or for enjoyment. These cycle were built by Jennifer Northern of Issaquah WA. She became the first woman to develop and manufacture an electric vehicle in the US. The speeds reached up to 60 mph in 6 seconds, programmable with regenerative braking or on the throttle. Their range was up to 100 miles while maintaining 65 mph in all weather and hills. It was the first of their kind built by a woman in the US.
