Any inexpencive motor kits ?

[The Texas Pirate!]

Thanks for all the advice, guys. I am surprised at all the diferent options out there. I would like to have a motor to assist me just for the hills, and bridges, I might encounter along the way. perhaps a friction drive with a solid tire ( http://www.airfreetires.com/ ) would work for me.

I spent about $200 on my happy time. Spent another few dollars for the inline filter. That's about it. Rode it like crazy all summer. I think I have about 500 miles on it. Didn't spend anything else. I might have just got lucky, but if it breaks tomorrow, I feel like I got my money out of it.

do NOT use airfreetires.com...the man misrepresents himself as a maker but he's only a drop-shipper. i know firsthand because he really screwed up my order and the real maker had to fix it for me.

the maker is http://www.kiktire.com/index.html

i have a pair of "ocelot-flat-out" high-rebound tires & the install tool for sale, if you have the right rim size.
airfreetires specs are wrong, you should have a maximum of 25mm inside bead-width.
they have less than 100 miles and are like brand-new.
they're great tires & marvelous at speed, but the profile is a bit low for my taste:

Cool, thank you, I appreciate the advice.
