Default RE: Electric street bike

just did a youtube search
if you're mechanically inclined
you can convert a 1:1 bike
to electric
for about $2000 in parts

results are not
to me
that impressive
acceleration and top speed are
gearing dependant - duh
so can be quite good

but
charge time and range
make them seem a bit
impracticle
at least for the
backyard
variety

but the project is
most certainly dooable
with out a lot of exotic
tools or knowledge
