$360, a providential number for things that spin! AmpedBikes offers a cheap and relatively easy way to mod your bike (any bike with 26″ wheels) into a battery-powered two-wheeled killing machine. I mean rolling machine. Check out the installation video; it looks like you’ll need some basic bike know-how and you have to provide your own batteries, but it’s way cheaper than many alternatives.
