If anyone is interested, a rather good book is available called:
Electric Bicycles
A Guide to Design and Use
by William C. Morchin / Henry Oman
Publisher: Wiley
ISBN: 0-471-67419-2
It's pretty heavy reading and goes into great detail on the following subjects:
I picked up my copy from Blackwells online who were fantastic and the book arrived the next day. Far better than Amazon who cocked up my order three times!
