Electric bicycle
Has anyone done or had a bicycle with an electric motor? I was kind of looking for this setup:

Does anyone know if there are any uk distributors?
Thanks

Why only 15, i do a round trip every day of 14miles to work and back and i average 21mph on a good day, reaching speeds of nearly 46mph, but i must
admit of thinking of an electric assisted bike to ease the preasure on my legs.

Does anyone remember the bikes with an engine hanging from the handlebars and driving the front wheel via the tyre? Also rear mounted engine on bikes?

Sure Rusty, first transport I had was a "Power Pack", 49cc two stroke that was fitted like a rear luggage rack, and drove on the rear
tyre. Many others around at that time "Cyclemaster", mounted in the rear wheel, (not as quick as the "Power Pack" ) plus a few
others but I forget the names. Great times, petrol was 2 bob, (ten pence), a gallon  . Cheers Ray.

Hi Phil, got that alluminium gleaming yet,  . Your not thinking of taking up cycling, surely, even with a bit of electricity to assist,
Cheers Ray
