Subject: [ebikes] Having Fun in PT

Hi e-bikers, we're really enjoying our new e-bikes! Both my wife and I
have been out as often as we can. We both work in town and are able to
ride to work as well as run errands on our bikes. If anyone is
interested in an inexpensive entry into the e-bike world check out the
Mongoose CB24v450. Costco and Walmart on-line carry it. I haven't run
the battery down all the way on an outing yet, I've gone about 20 miles
on a trip and weigh 210 lbs. I find myself peddling on the flats, w
and w/o the motor, and even gearing down uphills when I use the motor.
It's great exercise and you can control the level of intensity by just
using the motor. The bike is heavy and would be a bear to ride w/o the
motor, but the combination is great fun.
I'm wanting to buy a rear rack for the bike and with its motor sitting
over the left rear hub no common rack fits. I've looked on-line and
can't find one that fits. Any suggestions? Don
