The British Army is being reduced to using e-bikes as their supply of tanks and soldiers runs dry.
The army has begun training its soldiers on e-bikes in a bid to boost their mobility and effectiveness on the battlefield.
According to reports, British soldiers are practising firing their Carl Gustaf rifles from Stealth H-52 e-bikes.
The decision to move to e-bikes has been prompted by their effectiveness in Ukraine where soldiers have been using them to sneak up on Russian positions.
