Dennis, Maybe cars are not yet ready for electric propulsion but bikes are. I have been commuting 5 miles to work and back for about a year on a bike that I installed a Currie electric drive on. It is very practical for me as I can charge it at home and at work. It uses two 12 volt sealed lead acid batteries in series. The batteries just about double the weight of the bike so a nice lite battery pack would be very welcome. Also, Lee Iaccoca is pushing the E-bike. that uses a 36 volt system. NI-CAD I believe. I drove one last week at the REI store in Seattle and it was a very sophisticated and integrated design. I think the price will come down on those as they become more popular. The nice thing is you are not totally dependant on the e drive. When the batteries die, you just pedal. Uphill is tough because of the weight. Dave Waters
