Electric Bikes?

Hello fellow RVers,
Does anyone own an electric bike?  I'm thinking of purchasing one and was wondering about the pros and cons.  Also which brands you might suggest.  I was introduced to this brand called "Pedego" and they seem to make pretty good quality e-bikes.  I'm not very knowledgeable about these e-bikes but I have seen tons are articles about them lately which on peak my interest.  Any assistance, direction, and general info would be great!

Thanks,
Gerry

Hi Gerry,

Have you considered converting your existing bike, assuming that you have one?; http://e-bikekit.com/index.html

Thanks for asking the question because now I have something else on my wish list  ;D :o

Gerry - we have an eBike, 24v petal assist bike that my wife uses.  I know nothing about Pedego, but the eBike costs $1,700 about four years ago.  I think they are now out of business which is too bad because it is excellent quality.  It is "street" legal, goes about 20 mph unless you really want to push it harder, and goes about 20 miles before it has to be charged.  If you use the petal assist mode, it will go on forever, in theory.

After digging around I noticed that good old fashioned mopeds are going for as low as $500.00. What does the e-bikes have over the good old fashioned mopeds?

sheltie:
I don't have, nor have I ever had, a moped, so I'm not in position to answer your question.  My guess is that a moped will go much faster, but I believe it is gas powered as opposed to strictly human or electric powered.  It would depend on your needs.
