I am not mr green by any means, but when I tried my friends electric bike, I fell in love with it, now I am using it a lot. The hard part right now is finding a good lock for it, cause I know iits going to get stolen.

This thing hauls ass, 18mph and totally street legal, sidewalk legal, beach legal, anywhere a scooter or motorbike cant go, this thing can. The motor and battery are all built into the frame so nobody knows whats up. You barely have to pedal and it zips you right alone.
