I just saw an electric bike at CT for $1000. I don't know if it's brand new or old stock and can't find it anywhere else.

From what I could tell, (the staff didn't know much and it's not on the web yet. Only the replacement battery for $210 is listed

Looks like more solid but heavier than the Izip Schwinn bike.

Front and rear disk brakes.
200 W rear wheel motor?
Battery type and voltage unknown I suspect sla
ignition key
mag wheels, no spokes
front and rear lights
dual suspension (front and rear)
24 speeds
made in China

edit to say I found reviews and posts concerning this bike. It is old stock and appears to be riddled with problems. Strong Canada no longer exists. Glad I passed on it.
