$169.00 conversion?

[birdmove]

Got a message about these folks yesterday. This is a conversion using a battery that can mount onto a frame tube with a supplied bracket, and the motor and drive are mounted underneath the bike. It uses a small drive wheel that contacts the tire. $164.00. They call them selves Eazy-Bike.

Somebody lifted the R&D from Add-E and Go-E. Building strength and durability into a product requires a certain level of material quality. There is no cheap work-around for that. The Eazy-Bike should assist pedaling... on level ground.... for a while.

Even now as a senior I don't find pedaling on level ground to be a challenge. Where power-assist is worthwhile is on inclines, and widgets like those tiny RC-motor friction-drives don't do much there. Our host reviewed the similar Add-E.
