I'm thinkin' this will help with battery life. Hills take torque = current = spent battery.
The eZip is everything I thought it would be: heavy, noisy ) the internal gear reduction and a good value for the dollar.
I'd be very interested to read about this project and how it works out.
I kinda of like the noise of the motor. On bike paths it warns pedestrians I'm approaching. When a couple is walking hand in hand, they always free up the left side of the path.
