electric conversion
I just stumbled across this one, it’s really cool. Here’s the background….Amazon is reporting a 6000% increase this summer from last on electric bikes. Here is an inexpensive electric bike conversion kit. It’s offered by a company called AmpedBikes. The kit will set you back $360.
The AmpedBikes kits incorporate a brushless 36V 500W electric hub, and can be installed on almost any bike with 26″ wheels. Ray says the kits can be installed in about 20 minutes.
You will have to provide your own batteries — here’s a FAQ page with some suggestions for finding them

I have an ampedbike kit. Along with 3 others. The Ampedbikes kit is incredible! I ride to work daily about 12 miles weather permitting. I have saved about $4,000 in fuel so far along with getting back into shape!
