Ok, well I measured out the exact distance today from my apartment to work and it's only 4.3 miles which is actually less then I thought originally by almost a mile so that's good to know. I like those Electric Rider kits, the only gripe I have is the price. I'm looking to stay under $400-$500 because I'm not putting this on a very nice bike and knowing me, I'm going to tinker with it and likely upgrade gradually to something faster and better. Right now I really just need something that does between 20 - 25 miles per hour and gets me about 10 - 20 miles on a charge (so I'm not constantly recharging). I would eventually like to see myself get the Pheonix that does 30 mph but right now that's well out of my price range.
