I was one of the first customers and found it a pleasure doing business with Pat. He knows his stuff and provides answers. The bike has been fun, exciting and useful. I have no problem getting it over 20 mph if I want. Going uphill is no problem.Had both knees operated not long ago and haven't been able to bike for exercise. This allows me to get exercise in without overdoing it. You should pedal before accelerating anyway. I find myself just pedaling along anyway just to keep the legs going.

I like his design with the motor on the front tyre, looks a lot tidier than on the side of the bike.

I have chronic fatigue and got my electric bike delivered today, i can go much further than on a normal bike, and its a less extreme alternative to an electric wheelchair, cheaper and faster.

A milestone has been reached on Youtube today. This video appears to be the first video of an electric assist bicycle surpassing 200,000 views. If any of you know of any other very popular electric (e-bike) bicycles, post the info or send me a message, thanks!

I feel that this is a wonderful thing to be seeing. Things like this will help my fat butt get to where I have to go and lose weight @ the same time. Thanks for the video.

I would be very interested, but live in oklahoma...am a tinkerer..many years in different areas,have been looking at alternatives for about 4-5 years.I imagine a wimhurst machine or similar to charge banks of capacitors or so on,but I need to learn more about the wimhurst, or at least I want to, as I only see it in one or two forms.I want to build my own rendition of one once I complete my first and understand the principles. Drop me a line if you would like to chat about these things...anyone!

Clarify what concerns you have regarding theft over your car.Theft is an understandable concern for bicyclists and for those riding ebikes. However, depending the the situation, an electric bicycle may provide advantages to driving a car. And there are some techniques to mitigate many theft issues.Additionally, if the electric assist is put on a high quality folding bicycle, the bicycle even has more advantages than a standard upright bicycle with an electric assist motor on it.
