I'm a grandmother who loves riding my mountain bicycle. Unfortunately the old knees are giving me fits but I don't want to give up my bike, so I am thinking that adding a motor to my bicycle would be the way to go. I still want to be able to peddle the bike on occasion. I don't have a lot of money to spend and have absolutely no mechanical skills.

I'd love to hear from others who have added cost-effective motors to their bikes and still retain the pedals. I'd really like to keep my same bike.
A friend mentioned getting a "chicken motor." Anyone have one of these? I read about a motor that is part of the wheel but it appears that that never made it into production.
Thanks!
