Message:	I found this article at autospeed.com and thought you might be interested in reading it: 'Building an Electric Bike, Part 1' - A cheap hybrid vehicle for the road - and you don't need a driver's license! In this 3-part series we show you how to add electric assist to a bike. It won't rocket you up hills at an incredible pace but it will provide substantial help for your tired legs. On flat roads, well, you can stop pedalling. And when you head downhill, forget the caliper brakes - instead, regenerative braking will slow you down and at the same time, put charge back into the battery. That's power that you can then access at the next hill! Sound good? It is! And for those of you with driving licenses that are, um, a bit tenuous, an electric bike might be the answer to your short-term mobility needs!
