    First Bosch now Ford enter E Bike market!

    Reminds me of the Go-Cycle (?) I love the quote : “To avoid instability when accelerating the electric motor has a sophisticated control system. This ensures that the motor support is evenly built up and unwanted reaction forces can not occur." Must stop those damn high speed wheelies :)
