The Stokemonkey is an electric bicycle drive system meant to be used on a bicycle that has the XtraCycle frame addition built in. Because of the XtraCycle frame, the Stokemonkey has awesome cargo capacity.
Most electric bike products are designed for people who don't, won't, or can't ride regular bicycles. Stokemonkey is different. They don't believe in replacing human power with electricity; we believe in replacing cars for tasks that even the strongest bicyclists seldom if ever undertake on human power alone. Developed in a car-free household, Stokemonkey is for fellow riders who want to become more completely independent of cars in their daily lives.
Bike Hugger is a blog about the cycling lifestyle, culture, health and fitness. We promote commuting by bike, traveling, and one-less car. While working to popularizing cycling, we also have an undercurrent of counter-culture that's reflected in the name and that fact that we love our bikes and riding.
The purpose of the list is the discussion of power assistance for primarily human powered vehicles. Vehicles is a broad term which includes anything from bikes, upright and recumbent, to light cars and non-land transport. The only limitation is that the prime power source must be human.

Power assisted trikes are a very good option if one likes e-bikes but is balanced challenged and can't ride a 2-wheeler. The technology is available to build or buy a very capable tricycle. Input on standard trikes or recumbents is welcome. Physically challenged individuals who would like the extra "get home insurance" pedals offer and those who could use pedaling for rehab or exercise as opposed to just riding on a mobility scooter, let's hear your input.The owner of this group is disabled with MS, can't drive a car, but still gets out of the house every day.
A moderated group to discuss anything about electric bicycles. Tell us your experience with your bike, any maintanence tips you have, information about batteries, drive systems, etc.
A discussion of modifying a Wilderness Energy BD36 kit to run on 48 volts. In actuality it appears to be a slam-dunk in that the whole kit simply supports 48 volts out of the box.
An association of electric bicycle (e-bike) enthusiasts in the Durham Region looking to promote e-bike awareness, share information and experience about riding, and have fun while doing it! Based on our collective experience in riding e-bikes, the members of the Association believe that e-bikes can provide a viable alternative technology for personal transport in the Regional Municipality of Durham [Ontario], and that the expanded use of e-bikes should be built into any local transportation plan.
Electric transport is the future. While it's admittedly unlikely that Buck Rogers will be riding around on this trike in the 25th century, I had to start somewhere. More info at

Includes Urban Mover UM24 Terrain 20-inch Folding Electric Battery Operated Bicycle. * Urban Mover Electric Assist Bikes include a sensor that feels how hard the rider is peddling and instantly provideselectric power to match the effort. * Features. * With an Urban Mover electric bicycle, even a casual peddler can maintain speeds of 12-18 mph with minimal effort. * Stop peddling and the power is interrupted instantly so that the rider isalways in total control. * Easily remove the battery or charge it on the bike with anytraditional electrical outlet. * Urban Mover uses only the best components, such as Panasonic lithium battery, Shimano hardware, Kenda puncture resistant/self-sealing tires & tubes, Tektro V-brakes, front and rear. * Their aluminum alloy frames coupled with lithium batteries, rather than lead acid, allow for one of the lightest electric bikes on the market. * The Urban Mover Mountain Bike is 77% lighter than the E-zip equivalent. * In the past electric bikes have been disappointing from the standpoint of performance. * This has beencaused primarily by the manufacturer over-promising and under-delivering. * Urban Mover is on the cutting edge of battery technology, and able to deliver high quality product and performance. * Backed up with a comprehensive warranty program. * Where leading competitors put their battery on the back, the Urban Mover placement on the seat tube between the seat stay and chain stay and more directly beneath the rider allows for a better center of gravity and a safer and more comfortable ride. * Panasonic lithium batteries provide 20% more range (than NiMh), 50% lighter (than 8Ah NiMh battery), Up to 50% longer life v NiMh. * Urban Mover bikes come equipped with a VPAC (Variable Pedal Assist Control) torque sensor. * A sensor feels how hard the rider is peddling and instantly provides electric power tomatch the effort. * Going up a hill? Receive more power. When peddling stops, the power stops sothat the rider is always in control. * Charge indicator is mounted on the handle bars. * Most competitive electric bikes are equipped with a throttle so they are actually regulated as motor vehicles (like a motorcycle) and are not allowed on bike paths or in parks. * Because Urban Mover bicycle are controlled with the pedals only, they are regulated as traditional bicycles and are allowed on bike paths, state & national parks, and anywhere a bike is allowed. * Low-end electric bikes are very low quality bikes with electric kits added later. UM has developedthe bike and electric system as an integrated whole that works better and looks better. * Industry leading 10 year warranty on the frame with a 12 month warranty on major components and the battery, compared to 6 month frame, 90 days parts for most competitors. * Safety & Security: each bicycle includes a rear wheel lock as well as a chain lock.
