Revo Power - Motorized Replacement Bike Wheel
The moped of the future... Today!... well ok, in the first quarter of 2007.
Looks pretty slick, just replace your bike's front tire with "The Wheel" and stick the fuel tank in your water bottle holder. It's a low emission (meets the latest EPA and CARB regulations) 25cc two-stroke motor that gets around 200 mpg and does 20mph on the flat. Estimated MSRP $400.
The Dragon got an early electric add-on motor for a bicycle last year and was really disappointed at the drag and extra weight it added. It really didn't work for my purposes. This sounds like the most promising product for giving your existing bike that extra bit of oomph. Plus, since it doesn't really expand the physical dimensions of your bike, it should integrate well with public transport.
