Thanks.
I wanna start making changes. Changes in the way I live. Changes in the way I transport myself from here to there. One of the things i've been looking into 'on and off' are these electric wheel kits you can buy from a variety of sources. I think it's quite interesting to have this potential. No, it's not free, but it can be pretty inexpensive depending on what you compare it against.
Anyways, info seem's scarce. Here's what i'm after;
1) how long do these kits REALLY last? I know, it's subjective and difficult to acertain, but there's gotta be some kind of rough figure.
2) why are these kits so HEAVY?!??! No no, this isn't the weight weenie in me speaking up, really. I understand that there's a battery to consider and the hub itself isn't feathery by any means. I realize that changing the battery can help, but does anyone have anything for the hub?
3) are the current kits available any good, or are they "first generation garbage"? Surely some of you electro-whiz types have seen these and at least had a peek - anything to share?
4) is ANYONE on MTBR using one of these?
I'm tempted to get one of these to see just what it's like. Not caring for the "adds 30 pounds" part, though.
Anyone have any input?
PATIA!
