"There were over 280 million electric mopeds, scooters, motorcycles and three-wheelers on the road last year. Their sheer popularity is already cutting demand for oil by a million barrels of oil a day"

Love me e-bike. Don’t know what I do with out it. I’ve got the swytch kit which turns any bike into an e bike. It’s max speed is 25kph.

Does anyone know of a similar brand that can go faster?

swytch kit THANKS for the tip on that. Been thinkin a long time about adding a 750w hub motor and throttle to my old Specialized. (New e-bike prices are NUTS)
