WTF!? Just pedal the damn thing.

I am not a big fan of the "Electric Bike". The whole concept of converting your regular pedal bicycle is ridiculous. Just buy a scooter or something that was originally designed to have a motor. With foot pegs not pedals. Jeeeez.
Here is one of the newer entries into this arena.
