That's pretty awesome.... $379 for the drive system with what looks like a normal bike freewheel.

I like the power tool model.... Modular power

Cool. I like the idea of modular power too. And I just realized I may have a source of used power packs... Someone I know runs a repair/warranty depot for a big manufacturer of power tools...

Hmmm... remember the Milwaukee Tools LiIon powered '62 Chevy Bel Air on Monster Garage?
