Anyone have any experience with these.
I did many internet searches on the

personal experience, i.e. electric vs.
gas, 2 cycle vs. 4 cycle, etc.. *The new

I'd like one of these things to help me
up the hills.

Gas conversion motors are sold, my friend put a 2 stroke on a bike for
maybe 350$, electric are 1000-near 2000.00 for a complete bike and a
NiMh pack. It depends on how many miles you need to go and your
pocketbook. Electric is nice but I bet 3 years is pack life and maybe
2-300 to replace.
