I succumbed to the influence of the Internet a few months back while perusing folding bikes and bought a really nice Durban 6 to haul around in my plane. I'm mulling over adding electric power with a small hub motor.
I've seen some electric/folding bikes, but they're crazy expensive. Adding a motor to my Durban will cost about 1/4 what a ready made folding/electric would run me. Most of the ones I found on the net from known manufacturers (i.e. not Chinese knockoffs) started in the $1200 range. Ouch!
