Stumbled across something new last month. Wicked ebikes, which changed their name to wired. Has these cruisers out there for us old riders, that have some power. This thing has a 60v battery and a 1000w (2kw peak) motor with metal gears. Can be set up for class 3 , if you want to get the speed, but thats really not my priority. Looked at the ariel brand, but these are in stock and ship from chicago.
