Featured at the Instructables booth at the San Mateo Maker Faire 2009.

For some reason, it isn't displaying in 16:9, so it looks a little funky.

What is the range... how many miles before the battery runs out?

It's not my bike; I just made the video. I believe your question is answered in the link in the video description. If not, post a comment on the Instuctables page he (the bike's maker) will see it.

What's with the stupid music? We need to hear the noise this thing's making.

Well you can keep laughing, $750 for just the motor, $1100 for the battery. Um, no. Get the price for the motor, battery, and all electronics under $100 and then maybe you have something, because the bike is going to add another $100. And its not safe to go 50mph with bicycle brakes and 2 tiny square inches of bicycle tire contacting the road at that speed. There's a reason moped, and then motorcycle tires, get bigger and bigger with increases speed and weight.

Cool bike. I am thinking of ditching my car and using an eBike to get to and from work. Then rent a car only when I need to go to somewhere train or bus can´t take me.

Cool song too. Who has done it?
