This week's WalMart flier announces a Triumph ebike for $900 with a lithium ion battery (page 15).
It will be interesting to see if we can order the battery separately and at what cost. The ad doesn't what voltage and Amps/hr.

ya funny i was there today had a look at it. its a huge bicycle heavy with a tiny 250watt front hubmotor. the lithium pack is nice with a built in led volt meter on top but looks to be a little small.

canadian tire and walmart are asking way to much for these bicycles. at this rate i see a lot
of people going with kits.

at least there going to be more parts for us :)

Why are the Chain Stores selling such weak bikes? They can not think Mr. and Mrs. Average does not do a little research......do they?

Seeing most stores that sell Kit's can install. I guess they don't want to make money.
