Wow, they want $1000 for that motor! It seems like too many $$$ to
me. I'm in the process of electrifying my BikeE Fx with a Currie
motor. I've had to re-gear it for the smaller rear wheel. But I
*think* the motor originally cost me ~$300 and the new gears were like
$20. Yes, it's more of DIY project than the EcoSpeed, but then again,
it's alot cheaper than the bolt-on solution.

If you want, you can have my bike AND motor setup for $1000 when I'm
done. ;^)
