so after looking round and round, i think i have come to a decision on what is next for me.
i wanted something simple that a beginner can do, also had to be easy on the wallet, yet had a solid base to start from with possibility of upgrading in the future.
i am looking for comfort, with a bit of speed but not much faster than 25. i never leave the pavement unless there is dirt blown across the road! :wink:
since im on a budget, a lot of this is hard to get for little money. here are my selections for an intro do-it-yourself ebike:
kit:

bike:

there is an LBS in town that carries Gary Fisher bikes, but they are out of town right now for a bike show, so i have to wait a week till they get back to ask a few questions like. what is the front fork made of? From what i can tell on some other models (having a hard time on this model to track it down) i think they are chomoly forks.
rough layout:
i might want to entertain trying to mount the batteries inside the triangle, but i am ok with rack mount if i can not come up with a good way to mount them inside the triangle.
any input, or problems anyone might see, would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
