At first, the total cost was

Hub motor built into rim: $170
Bike: Free (from the woods)
Batteries: $30 (used on Ebay, still working. I used them for my 48v Car controller test)
ON/OFF switch: $4 (direct drive, no controller)

$204.

Then I added a controller and throttle, and the price skyrocketed to $280!
