Go-Ped's GoBike Power Rack Electric Bike Kit is a very unique direct drive motor kit that utilizes Lithium Ion battery technology at an affordable price. The GoBike Kit is easily installed and the lightest Electric Bicycle Kit in the world. After you easily install the kit, and charge the Lithium Ion batteries, the Go-Ped GoBike Kit is ready to roll. The GoBIke is powerful eough to cruise, but it is not a great climber, or land speed record holder either, but still a great way to releive some of the workload of riding a conventional bicycle. I weigh 175 lbs. and the GoBike got me up to18 mph. with ease. When I use electric bicycle conversion kits, I like to pedal when I start off from a dead stop, and I like to pedal when climbing hills too. If you use the motor all the time, you are going to decrease the bikes overall range. The GoBike is integrated into a rear rack, so you can still use the top surface as a trunk, and it is capable of holding a large human's weight too. The direct drive really makes this kit unique because there are no belts or chains to connect the motor to the wheel. The direct drive simply presses up against the outside diameter of the tire and powers the bicycles rear tire directly. If you are concerned with theft, the GoBike kit comes off very easily, and can be carried with you. Carrying the motor is easy because of it's compact design and light weigh construction.
Go-Ped GoBike Kit is a great product and I definitely recommend it to anyone.
