I tell thee guys... these electirc bikes are pretty good if you wanna commute a reasonable distance.... i work in a bike shop and believe me i hate the idea of them and the look of them but i had a go on one of the power assist ones the other day and they are awesome... feels like you have bionic legs...

its a good idea ch!3f but if you spend 100 pounds on a bike from halfords and commute on it, even if your using an 18th brushless kit for power youll be spending another 100 pounds next month for a new bike....had one in the shop.... cant believe the cruddy build quality....
