 @a9bc9943 this is one of the few cases where electric propulsion makes more sense than the alternatives, both to preserve your hearing and for performance

 @2eaaf069 Sure but electric bike companies are scumbags like tesla that want you to not repair your product, and can't do simple things like balance the charging of your cells and not catch on fire.  Plus you need to sell your testicles to even be able to afford one.

Gas engine kit is like $100-$200
