Although it doesn't come with LIFEPO4, you can add that after the fact. It will be interesting if he can better the lowest price on the web, which is $279 with free shipping.
Angie, If I remember correctly you are on the shorter side around 5'2" or so. You might want to Google "Bike sizing" to help determine a correct size bike. Now that you are not looking for a manufacture built ebike the bike size problem should be a lot easier. I would think you would want something no bigger then in the 24" wheel size. If you choose a hub motor this will reduse your top speed but be better for hill climbing. The Ezip kit will fit a 24" nicely but there are a lot of great kits out there.
