Not too far off the path on your way south is Argyle Street aka Little

Are you going all the way south to Promontory Point in Hyde Park? If so,

anyone have any experience with this bag or similar products? Thanks in

Robert is right. Bike designers have to design the frame around the Bosch
drive system shape so it is never offered as a kit. Most people who are
interested in mid-drive systems (systems which help you pedal from the
bottom bracket area) as kits, use the bafang mid-drive motors which are
available
I have many bikes, two of which are ebikes. In truth, I ride them more
often than my conventional bicycles due largely to what I can accomplish in
an hour of riding in terms of exercise than I can on my conventional
bicycles. You get a very a solid work out without the concern for being too
