It's time for the e bike discussion

I have a problem with axel holes for in wheel motors. This is one of my side mount electrics.

If it has wheels make it go as fast as you can!!! Motorized bar stools is a start
 
I LOVE the idea of an electrified vintage bike! My wife and I rented e-bikes when we rode the Appian Way outside Rome a few years ago and loved them. My wife has been having knee issues as she's gotten older, so I think an e-bike is the only way I'm going to get her to ride with me at this point. And if it were a vintage bike would make it that much better.

Not quite a vintage bike, but sort of retro looking.
I protested when my wife came home with an Electra Townie-Go, until our first ride out together.
Now, she can ride all day, without complaint, and I can draft her into the wind.👍
They’ll continue to evolve, until they look and function much better.
The full carbon electric gravel bikes are already looking pretty sweet.
Just don’t look at the price tag.🤪
