Electric Bike

We now have an electric bike. My husband is thrilled with his project. It involved taking a mountain bike and then sending away for a kit that changes out some parts and adds a lithium battery and turns it into an electric bike. It was a great success. It is almost done and he's been riding it all over town. It takes about half the time as riding a regular bike. Also you can pedal the bike too and turn off the motor if you want to save battery power. And if the battery runs out while you are out and about you can just pedal it home. It will go about 20 miles on a charge. Below is a picture of the lithium battery pack. You just slide it off the bike and take it indoors and plug it in to recharge it overnight. I haven't ridden it very much myself yet - just around the block. It's a strange feeling to ride a bike and just sit there without pedaling. Here's a link to the kit he used.
