Q. Hey I'm going to be moving a ways away from my kung fu school. So I will have to bike there but we are talking like 30 miles away at least. So my question is if anyone knows what that bike adapter kit is where it lets you switch between pedaling and driving?
Answer
there are allot of electric bikes and kits out there, but the problem is weight, performance, and distance per charge, remember, if you use those batteries for 10-20 Miles they are bone dry, and you have to pedal with an additional 80 pounds of weight, so you think, i ll add more batteries, but then you add more weight, then you need a bigger motor, so on and so forth, to have a more efficient setup you would need lighter batteries that last longer, lithium ion, or nickle metal hybrid, but they are very pricey, and you would need allot of them.
electric biking is not yet a transportation alternative, unless your going very short distance.
but if you wait, I'm currently working on a revolutionary concept for power assisted bicycles that will be available on the market for the summer of 2007 and will give you a 250 mile autonomy, and will only add 9.2lbs.

Building an electric bike hybrid?
Tom I
I am looking for some sources that would help me in my quest to build an electric bike hybrid. I know there a lots of kits out there that seem for the most part "bolt-up" but those are a bit expensive and i feel like i would enjoy more of a challenge from building from scratch. I have fair knowledge of electronics and i am mechanically inclined. I am assuming i would need the basics, motor, controller, battery. I do not quite understand the concept of having multiple shifters that i have seen with most of these kits and why the are needed for the motor to function, i thought it was a push button type thing haha. I am also just having a hard time finding these items separately sold. I have done a bit of research on multiple forums. It seems there is a vast variety of different options. I just really want something that i can take to the local park, maybe cruise on the sidewalk for a bit then hit into the trails with a bit of help. I am 6'4" 250 pounds so i am looking for,from what i have read, a 1000W motor or more? I do not currently have a bike to customize, i was looking to buy either a used one or a fairly cheap new one. Any information or links that you guys could help me out with will be much appreciated. Thank you!
