Hi everyone!
I'd been thinking about motorizing my bike for a while now. I'm a college student, and some extra speed and mobility would be really nice.
Previously, I had considered getting a scooter or even a motorcycle, but both of those complicate things as much as they simplify them - scooters still require a license and have seemingly no advantage over a small motorcycle, and a getting a motorcycle would be a hard idea to sell to my parents (who control my tuition
). Neither option would be good to store.
I had been looking at that revopower startup, but they can't seem to get it together and I'm already two years into college.
I saw a deal on a kit here, and for $124+shipping I'm really tempted, but I can't find much out about this kit. I don't even know if my bike's compatible - I have a Trek 700 Multitrack which has served me decently well so far, with the exception of whatever piece holds the handlebars on (it creaks like crazy when I pedal).
Does anyone have any experience with this product? Are there better options for around the same price?
