Ultra Motor takes you from A2B
Somewhere between a normal pedal-powered bicycle and an electric scooter lies a class of vehicle which keeps the ability to pedal and adds some assisted power via a small battery pack. This new generation of vehicle is just as useful as the good old moped, except that the electric motor is free of pollution, which is something that most certainly cannot be said of the older two-stroke 'peds and even the newest four-strokers.
Ultra Motor has a new machine on the market known as the A2B which fits nicely into this category. Using a small electric motor integrated into the hub, the machine retains the look and feel of a normal bicycle. Constructed of aluminum, the full-suspension electric vehicle features a small lithium ion battery and is capable of traveling up to twenty miles on electricity alone. A second battery can be added, doubling the range. Of course, pedaling increases the miles between charges to as far as your legs can take you.

Ha ha, this is a cool little project, but it does not look like a normal bicycle.

Is this for the road or trails? Looks like for trails, and the electric boost would come in very handy for that!

This is going to be the hottest new bike to hit the street 20-40mi range. I think the best is that it pedals like a bike and weighs only little more than a regular bike. Javelinacycles.com is going to be the premiere dealer

The A2B Demo bikes are out and they are a great ride looks and rides like a bike and with power more like a scooter. This bike is silent not even a hum from this new motor. Take a ride in the park and hear the birds sing refreshing and fun to ride. I was unsure of the size of the bike but it is plenty big for me 6’1” rider 240 lb, it is not a small bike. This bike should accommodate 6’ to 6’4” rider no problem. Nothing on the market comes close. Comes in a large box install the handle bars and you are ready to ride in 20min but first charge it. http://www.javelinacycles.com

How long are the batteries expected to last and how much to replace them?
Why the fat tires?
Why no lights?
How the hell do you carry anything (like "going to work items") on this unit?
No chain guard? In "going to work" cloths!

The fat tires are for more grip, im sure you can add a chain guard and it will come out with saddle bag attatchments in the back or you canuse the supplied rack. You can also just wear a backpack
