You can’t get ahead using these expensive toys. A gasoline moped gets great mileage anyway.

Looks good! Now I’ll just have to figure out how to get my kids on it for when I drop them off at school.

Got my bike from Wal-Mart for $59 - and it’s a lot more “green”.

I could get an incredible bike for $3500. Plus take away the suspension fork. Too much energy is wasted with the frame bouncing up and down while pedaling. Plus it’s just less to worry about.

I have a Schwin electric and I love it... I bought it for $10 at a local thrift store, the motor was missing (the transmission was there) and the battery was not there.

I bought a motor on ebay that was wired backwards for $35, and I use a 24V battery pack from a scooter that I strap to the bike on the luggage carrier. I get about 20 miles on a charge and have less than $100 in it.

with the E+ starting at $3,495.00, available with either a cruiser or mountainbike frame.

I'd rather have this:

$2049 new and it can go 35mph legally.

Hey, I’m lazy, if it’d help me pull up hills, I’d be for it. Does the pedaling help recharge the battery, or is it strictly plug-in?

My Honda Rebel 250 normally gets 65 mpg. It cost me $2500. Nice looking little bike, even the Harley guys wave to me.

I bought a kit for my bike, it cost me about $400 bucks.

Of course, I had to buy the bike as well, but that was only a couple hundred bucks.

Cool but expensive. Do they have a chainless version?
