my dad considered buying a vectrix. until they refused to tell him what the range was at 50mph. bought a BMW C1 instead, much safer.

I looked into building an electric bike, but legally you are allowed 200w for "pedal assistance.

However, get a couple of 800w hub motors - one front, one back, I reckon you'd have a bit of a rocket on your hands

I just use pedal power now, when I can get out on the bike!

You can now get 5000W electric motorcycles/scooters from China with (theoretical) top speed of 65 mph.

Have a look on Instructables. There are others besides this one, interesting stuff.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
