Anyone own one? Know what's good or bad? Where's the best place to buy? Pros and Cons?
Answer
Don't know much about scooters, but, know ebikes and ebike kits pretty well.
For DIY kits, Cyclone-USA has a great chain drive kit that gives the best range, top speed and hill climbing., but it is a difficult installation.

For value try a crystalyte kit, a hub motor which is always an easier install.
http://www.ebikes.ca/
For great features and reliability try Bionx kits.

A pretty nice prebuilt ebike is the Ezee series.

I am a support person for all of the above.
I personally own 7 ebike systems, including all of the above except for the EZee, which i get as a loaner.
for demanding applications, like tough terrain or heavy loads, got to have a chain drive cyclone. the variable gear ratio going thru your normal chain is really helpful.
But hub motors are an easier install.
Stay away from Lead batteries if you have hills to climb.
Some folks swear by the new Life04 batteries, I like NIMH, Nicad is showing very good value.
If you get an add on kit, out it on a quality comfort bike. No big box clunkers, they don't last the years of heavy high speed use.

What is the cheapest DIY Electric Bike kit? Anyone have experience?

Please let me know how it is. Is it fun? Were you disappointed?
Answer
I have tried about 15 different ebikes and kits.
By far, the cheapest ones were the worst. those friction drive ones with rollers on the wheels. When you really need the help climbing a hill, they slip.
so skip those.
there are two fairly decent entry level kits... the WE BD36 and the Largo Go hub kit.
I prefer the Go hub at that price point. Have had happy customers with both.
I ride a Cyclone and a Bionx. Long range, good top speed and great hill climbing in one package.
