a Trek electric assist bike.

Namely the smooth silver lowstep one and its actually pretty cool! If petrol prices keep rising and the price of those bikes comes down a bit, those will really catch on.

    I was arsing about on the focus version when i was up at the shop

    a bit different in that you had to pedal as the motor was behind the bb and applied power to the chain.

    There's no dynamo available for it! I would have thought that for an electric bike, it should be able to charge it's own lights :lol:

    a guy at my office got a whisper e-bike...

    we were hooning around on it the first day he brought it in....

    awesome bit of kit and allows a guys who's not been on a bike in 20 years to do a 40 mile round trip commute on his first day!
