electric bikes?

What are those, like $3500 a pop? Very nice but a little steep for me. @trapster that is a nice rig, about what I was thinking but using the front tire as the motor and just leaving the rear as a 6 speed. They got crank motors now that bolt up to the bottom bracket area or specialized frames for them, looking more like a motorcycle that a pedal bike.

I can make a 48V 18650 Li-po battery pack for ~$1.20 a piece in an order of 24 or more. Some nickle strips, a resistance welder and some Kapton tape...wire it up, shrink wrap it and put it in a 5" piece of galvanized so if it blows, it'll be like a rocket instead of a bomb. Ill get some pics when I pick it up, probably some granny bike with a basket....:rolleyes:
Currently $1699.
