Anyone have a electric bike, i want one that looks like a mt. bike, and can also be used without the power on.
Answer
you have several options.
Giant will be coming out with a new model this spring, check out your Giant Ebike Dealer, or
Bird Ebike in Colorado if you don't have one.
Next is the Bionx ebike add on kit, can be added to most bikes.
Also Crystalyte hub motors can be added to most Mountain bikes.
Buy from a good dealer, locally if you can.
we have several ebikes including Giant bionx, Crystalyte and others.
Your best choice will depend on quite a few factors. but first make sure where they are legal in your locality. State of NY doesn't like them.
Legal electric assist Ebikes are generally considered bicycles if they comply with the federal law HR727- Max 750watts, pedals that work, maximum 3 wheels, maximum 20mph under power. but there are exceptions so check locally.

ELECTRIC BIKE QUESTION!!! ?
mike
Ok so I wanna convert my bike to a electric bike..I want to be able to travel like 30 or so miles on it at about 25mph is this possible under 300-350 dollars? I would even consider a used one on eBay
Oh ya and my bike just a regular comfort bike with 26 inch tires
Would it be better to buy one or use a electric bike conversion kit? Thanks!
Answer
I would take that $350 & look into a lighter hybrid or performance hybrid bicycle. Bikes with electric motors, either home built or store bought, always seem to drain the charge quickly and in the wrong place. Then what? You are stuck pedaling that behemoth home on leg power. The lighter the bicycle, the easier it usually is to pedal. Especially with the 700C tires found on hybrids & performance hybrids. They're taller & thinner than those found on your comfort bike.
