Eco Cycle, an eco-friendly bicycle manufacturer has developed a new product known as Green Ride. Green Ride is a stationary bicycle for home use which generates power for electronics and household appliances, such as televisions, video game consoles, dishwashers, and washing machines. Given the recent shift toward sustainable living, renewable energy sources, and a focus on positively impacting climate change, Eco Cycle expects this product to do well in the market. While the company knows that all consumers follow a similar adoption process for products, not all consumers follow it at the same time.

In one or more fully formed paragraphs, identify each of the five types of adopters and explain in detail the characteristics of each type of adopter for Eco Cycle and the Green Ride.
