After looking at e bikes (already fitted with motor and battery) we decided most of them were crappy. Did tons of research on bikes... Hub motors... Lithium ion batteries. For ease of storage, we decided on the foldable Dahon 'Mariner. Pricey but foldable and great components. ( approx. 600 new ) we then purchased our motor hubs and lithium ions, called crystalyte . They are both high performance and priced high, but worth very penny ( about 1000 for motor and battery) we have only used them twice since we keep them in Florida but here is the numbers so far...
Battery charge approx 25 -30 miles in between charges.
Takes about 3 hours to fully charge
Bikes go a breezy 33-35 miles per hour. (We wear motorcycle helmets)
Love them!
I love the idea of motorizing my bike but that is a bunch of money
