Ok, I admit I saw a post in Darell`s EV thread and it made me wan`t to start a bike thread. I had a Citybug from Sharper Image. It was a lot of fun! The small tires were given to flats but other than that it was super dependable. It would do about 12~13 mph with my 210 body on it...and go up some inclines surprisingly well. It came with 2 12 volt 12 amp batts and really did not go that far (8~10 miles). I bought another battery bag and 2 more identical batts and wired it all together (same 24 volts...just doubled the range). I put a lot of miles on it...even had to replace all the batts after about two years. A few months later I had to replace the drive belt and front drive gear. They did not have the original one and sent me one with a few more teeth. After that it did about 2 mph more...and didn`t seem to afect it`s hill climbing (keep in mind I live in Tampa...my concept of a hill might not be the same as yours). Then a few weeks later it was stolen. I keep my eye out on the electric scooter/bike market...I will buy one again...just want them to get a little faster...maybe 45~50.
