mc, that picture is a pretty clean DIY conversion wherever you took it. I've been involved with e-DIY for seven years, and as an individual who counts the smiles, not miles, have had a blast on them, even though riding only once or twice a week while MTB'ing three or more times. In socal, most of the riding areas frequented are ascend at the beginning, roll down after the apex, so an individual can receive as much exercise as they want just by adjusting PAS level and gearing, but I'm lazy so usually take it easy on the "e". BTW, good post to troll for haters. They love to emerge from under their rocks.
