Tronix Ebike Exceed: Green Ebike for the Environment

Innovatronix Inc., a Filipino owned company producing electronics equipment and gadgets, has come up with the Tronix Ebike, a motor and pedal-driven bike that puts the “style and convenience” to biking.

Since the trend in travel is to go environment-friendly or going green, the use of bikes to tread a short distance or run errands greatly encouraged. Biking also has health benefits since this is form of exercise, which can ultimately benefit everyone.



The Tronix Ebike Exceed offers the biker an option to either use the motor drive for better speed or opt for pedal driving to sweat out those calories. It also has an increased torque, which makes it capable of driving on a slope.
To operate the motor drive, one just needs to push a button. "There’s no need for manual pedaling when the electronic controller in the back part of the bike is turned on. It is really less hassle. If in case you ran out of battery power, then you can always shift to pedal drive. It is that easy,” says Ryan Untalan, Innovatronix' Marketing Officer.

Pit Stop #4 Part 7: Pila, Laguna



The town of Pila is a typical Philippine town during the Spanish occupation. This is what our towns and cities look like before modernization stepped in. A large plaza surrounded by stone houses also known as the bahay na bato.

Pila and adjacent towns along the shores of Laguna de Bay are considered by archaeologists as one of the oldest settlements in the Philippines. The community is one of three such concentrations of population known archaeologically to have been in place before A.D. 1000. Archaeologists recovered in Pinagbayanan potteries and artifacts that indicate considerable settlement in the area during the Late Tang Dynasty (900 A.D.). Archaeologists also recovered ancient horse bones ending the debate on whether the Spaniards brought them or not. The scientists were able to uncover Philippines’ oldest crematorium in the same area. It is worthwhile to note that the oldest Philippine document, the 900 A.D. Laguna Copperplate Inscription, mentioned Pila twice.

The National Historical Institute of the Philippines declared the town plaza and surrounding ancestral houses a National Historical Landmark on May 17, 2000. Two years later, on July 9, 2002, the Diocese of San Pablo proclaimed the parish church of San Antonio de Padua de Pila as the Diocesan Shrine of St. Anthony. According to Philippine historian, Dr. Luciano Santiago, it is the only town in the Philippines that is formally recognized as a historical site by both the church and the state.

Caliraya is a manmade reservoir built in 1943 to supply water to the Caliraya Hydroelectric Plant. The deep waters of the lake and the strong, cold mountain breeze that blows from the Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges and the distant Mt. Banahaw, make Lake Caliraya an ideal place for sailing, windsurfing, fishing and other water sports. There are also campsites, a nearby Japanese garden, first-class resort facilities and Lake front communities surround the lake. For the avid golf fans, there are golf courses too.
