Ok i need all your guys' help with this one. I would like to get a kit to throw on my dolan ss road bike but i don't want one of those big bulky kits. I want more of a pedal assist style. there is a vid on youtube of a guy in an underground parking garage with an assist kit and he is going pretty fast. I know that what i am saying is pretty vague and will try and find the vid for you guys. he sent me the link to the site but its all in a different language and even the translated page is hard to understand. Oh and he keeps his battery pack in a back pack. I'll look now.

The suicide bomber type backpack might cause a certain amount of excitement in traffic.

Yes, the advantage of using the transmission of the bike allows the use of a much smaller motor, although that one looks really small. I find it funny that their website shows it being used on a mountain bike. I can't figure why anyone would go mountain biking and want a motor. I use a motor for hauling large loads and when I need to go faster for long distances. I have an Ecospeed on my recumbent and it is a 600watt (a terrible way to rate motors).
