I have seen a few for sale come up around here as well for a few hundred bucks. I think most of these 2 strokes are a chinese engine and heard not very reliable long term. You mod it to an existing bicycle and away you go.
Much cheaper than what I saw today but probably not as reliable. A 79 year old gent all geared up ready to go had an electric assist bicycle with big fat tires and asked him some questions on it. He bought it from the local bicycle shop, has a low and hi gear, but he says he never used hi gear only low gear for assist and will go 65 miles before needing recharging with his pedal power like a bicycle doing some of the work. Did not have a throttle to adjust electrical output much to my surprise only lo/hi power and ONLY 2600 bucks?
Although at his age of 79 he bought it new this April and all this year has driven it already 2000 miles. WOW, am impressed he rode a bicycle probably more than I have all my motorcycles this summer.
