I’ve been in the planning stages of modifications to the XR-2 carbon fiber frame, and checking out hubmotors for sometime now. It’s fun, and not really too difficult.

China banned electric bikes in several cities, but has since repealed those bans.

Small two-cycle internal combustion engines lack emission controls and are notorious noise polluters as well. An electric motor combined with advanced batteries (such as A123 lithium nanophosphate) can move a person very quietly using energy generated at an efficient central powerplant, wind farm or solar array.

Less than $1500.00 and a crapload less time spent making it.

Easily a third of my local bike shop are electric bikes.
