This would be pretty cool though. I would love to bike to work. Can't you get some kind of credit or right off if you bike to work now?]]>Feb 27th 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/
the batts or this would have to be crazy small to get 25 miles from such a small space. I also wonder about heating with all that being in one place.

engadget, what exactly does one mean by "standard bicycle"?

btw, you can have a pretty darn bona fide e-bike far less than thousands.]]>Feb 27th 2009 12:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://ca.itselectric.ca/37V_Lithium_Polymer_10_5Ah_battery_p/37v_lithium_polymer_10.5ah.htm

look at the chart, at 16mph, you get 34 miles, that's 9 miles more than what is said in the news article, lol.]]>Feb 27th 2009 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/

There are also some safety issues--if you have an aluminum fork or a mountain bike with springs on the front fork, you cannot safely mount a hub motor on the front wheel. You'll need to mount it on the back wheel. (That's my predicament--I'd love to put a hub motor on my mountain bike, but it will have to be mounted on the rear wheel. I may break down and buy one this year.)

Here's a link to a web site with a video that shows how fast you can go--I'm tempted to buy from this site since he has reasonable prices. http://ampedbikes.com/]]>Feb 26th 2009 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 27th 2009 12:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 27th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/
Interesting. I've done quite a bit of reading about e-bike and never read that. ]]>Feb 27th 2009 3:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/
The general thought in the US on this type of device is that it is legal as long as it doesn't go faster than 15 m.p.h. Any faster, and some type of regulation is required for safety devices, and the insurance industry wants a cut on the action too.
Beyond that speed, it is considered a moped.
I didn't make those rules, I just report what I know.]]>Feb 26th 2009 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.goldenmotor.com/]]>Feb 26th 2009 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/
That's probably from a lack of oxygen being delivered to your brain...

Sorry, I don't get the fixie craze, but whatever you like... I ride MTBs, cruisers, and I love my Fisher Simple City 3-speed. Haven't owned a car for 15 years. Anything (like this hub motor) that gets more people onto bikes and more funding for bicycle commuting is a good thing!]]>Feb 26th 2009 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Neither did i till i started riding one, i used to think they were just a stupid hipster thing, but man, once you start riding a fixie you know. they are so addictive.]]>Feb 26th 2009 10:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/
Would it feel better on a fixie? Maybe...but shifting just kills your momentum on that hill anyway.

It does look fun to do that balancing thing at red lights, tho.]]>Feb 27th 2009 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 27th 2009 12:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 26th 2009 8:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 27th 2009 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/Feb 27th 2009 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/26/greenwheel-converts-any-huffy-10-speed-into-an-electric-bicycle/
Actually, if you peddle your bike, you will have no range because your bike will have been sold.


However, if you pedal it, chances are, your range will indeed double.

I would deffenitly buy one of these to place on my old hybrid and take it to work daily. I always wanted to get an ebike, but whats on the market has always held me back.
