[Pil-pc-oceania] Bike Moves - electric bikes

[Kerry Dawborn]

Look what you've got me doing Daniel - I'm still looking at videos on 
you tube. This one is interesting - a sel- installation video for 
retrofitting a bike with an electric assist motor - the best electric 
hybrid bike option I think I've seen so far....

mind you, am not sure of the mileage per charge, but other videos have 
said you have be doing 5mph before it kicks in (it has no throttle I 
don't think), but then reads, and matches or betters your level of 
effort. Interesting - would love to try one.... Could be great if able 
to charge on green power..., and it still demands that you pedal, which 
a lot of electric bikes don't, so probably increases your range quite a 
lot....
