i dont get why youd want an electric bike that you still have to pedal. either you want to pedal a normal bike or you want the motor to do the work for you. you ceratinly wouldnt want to pedal that thing without the motor assist.
i actually really want an electricbike. which is why im going to look at a crash damaged electric moped this weekend. it got written off in a crash but aparently the drive is still in working order. i still need to see it to check it out, but id like to transplant the drive into somthing else.
with that said im not sure what. i origionally wanted to fit it to a 700c skinny tyre road bike. but now im thinking about it i reckon some fatter/stronger MTB wheels and some disk brakes might be a much safer option! maybe even suspension! i have a feeling that it might end up sitting my garage for a while.
