I used the motor, controller, and batteries from a scooter and motorized a small folding Razor bike. It had alot of power and did 20mph. About 2hrs TOPS run time if I behave and kept the 50 watt headlight turned off. =)

I’ve just ordered parts for my soon-to-be electric bicycle from [ebikes.ca](http://ebikes.ca). I’ll post updates on this forum later, but for now there’s [www.wattintheworld.phpbb24.com](http://www.wattintheworld.phpbb24.com)
