hi,

has anyone used one of those engine kits that fit on the rear wheel of a
mountain bike? what are they like? any recommendations for makes/models
etc?

thanks

Aren't those called motor bikes? Doesnt this defeat the purpose of
having a mtn bike?

no not motorbikes, these things are engine kits that fit on the rear wheels
of standard mountain bikes. yes, they're not going to get you fit, but i'm
just curious as to what they're like - also they get round the tax/insurance
issues of a motorbike...

Not great I think, don't really see the point but it would make a good
DIY project. Shaun was thinking of doing something similar a while ago.

Hi,

I have the e-bike from the: http://www.e-bikes.net/index.htm

After one year I can tell you, it is very good solution.

E-bike is much much more than bicycle.

If you have any questions...

Assist is the word your looking for.
