This is my bike:

It's fucking amazing - all season, any weather, any terrain including sand and snow.

I feel an ebike should be built from the ground up, with an overall design in mind - especially when it comes to distributing the weight of the components. These "turn your regular bike into an ebike with just a wheel" contraptions are gay as fuck.

However, my bike does not charge itself by pedaling backwards, that is a cool feature.

Batteries are a major cost every few years for electric vehicles.
