Would you use one of these?

[FONT=.HelveticaNeueUI]They start shipping next month. I believe the hub is a lot smaller now rather than the pretty large one in the
initial video.

definately not. i can understand why some might but i like to use my commute as a bit of a workout. then shower when i arrive at work.

Electric bike drives seem to be popping up quite often i notice now, the cost of one of those wheels will probably buy me a decent bike.

I might be tempted at some point. I would like a go on one certainly just to see what it was like. It would be good to have in the stable for those days when someone has stolen your legs and left a pair of imitation ones in their place!

Trouble being, if you give in to those kind of days, they end up becoming more and more frequent! Sad but true.

If you no longer have the legs or fitness due to illness or old age then a little assist seems like a good idea to me.

That's what stops me from getting an electric bike as I expect I would become lazier and rely on the assist more and more.
