A 250w motor is available from BionX and is enough for flat land commuting a light frame and road tires. For hillclimbing, the Wildeness 600w is a popular unit. More power means more battery weight or less range.
A bicycle seat that adjusts up/down, front/back, and tilts while in the saddle would be sweet. Pneumatic controls would save weight.
Too bad the Lexus hybrid is not on sale but I image 7,000 USD would be the base price.
A smart shopper could build a similar bike from parts for half that.
