Hi..there is no supplier/distributor. people put the kit together for themselves. if you want my kit i can sell it to you as i no longer need it.[/quote]

[b]I'm in the US, and very interested in a new/used A-Bike ELECTRIC (only). Anyone direct me to a sales outlet in US, or can ship a good product inexpensively?

Hi,

If it could be of interest for somebody, here is a kit to electrify the 8" wheels A-Bike at 150 USD. Unfortunately it could be not used in Italy because you need a PAS.

[quote="JazJon"]Hmmm maybe, but looking on that page,the "Shrinker" electric folding bike looks interesting:

Not a bad price for a powered folding bike.[/quote]
It seems that it is an electric version of Mobiky Genius:

[quote="Artefex"]For an electric conversion I would consider using a hub motor (Or small wheel with built in motor) such as the ones supplied by:

Replacing the front wheel would be smaller and neater than messing around with extra gears and chains.[/quote]

I think I'm about done with the A-Bike as a commute option. San Francisco has too many pot holes.

I just bought at new Pedego Unbrella 16 (Electric Folding bike) Today. It handles SO nice, and goes really fast. I can still and will pedal for exercise don't worry. (and to assist hills) It goes up STEEP hills even very amazing bike. The other thing is now I can skip Muni/Subway all together and ride 3.4 miles via this bike directly. (I'll save time, way easier, nice comfortable ride) I'm also getting a removable basket so I can grocery shop with this thing. When it's folded up you can still push it around very easily. (doesn't get in the way of the basket) This thing folds and unfolds in 1 (yes ONE) second!!!

I can't find a very good video but this one shows the Umbrella one in the middle.

I bought mine from:
http://www.electricbicycleoutlet.com/
in San Francisco. The shop is ONE block from my office even nice.

I'll be adding a new iPhone holder/charger even.

I'll be keeping my A-Bike as a fun show and tell toy pretty much. It was worth a shot to use this as my commute vehicle but I'm now an Electric Bicycle fan.

Update:

I just got a response from:

North America
CYCLONE USA / E. B. Kit

E-mail: sales@ebkit.com
Phone: 415-7066802
Address: 501 Taylor Street, San Francisco, CA 94102

He's checking his Taiwan supplier and will get back to me soon. We're both in San Francisco so it looks like I will get to have some help in person. (perfect) I'm also going to check out what other folding electric bikes he offers. I'm pretty sure I want the most compact bike possible though which would be the A-Bike hands down.



EDIT: They said the kit is not longer produced or in stock. (oh well)

I'm interested in supplementing my A-Bike with an Electric Motor. I just emailed the various contacts listed in this thread. Hopefully someone still has a kit for sale or can tell me what to buy and what to do.

I would buy a pre-built electric bike, but I'd rather have my bike small enough to keep under my desk at work etc. (and in my closet at home)

So again, hopefully one of the companies I just emailed responds, but does anyone else have more contacts to share? (seeing how this thread is a bit old)

wow - thats a very good site there. they've got everything you need really. the problem is how will you know what chain and socket to fit and the dimensions. anyway, i think its best you call them before you call. tell them what you want to do. you will need a controller, a relay and battery. they've got all you need on that site, so give them a call.

I was considering getting a kit, but its a little out of my price range. I really want to try this as an experiment so I'm looking for the cheapest option, but still fairly safe. Plus, I think it'll be really fun to just mess around with the wires and motor :D .

I just found a scooter part site that looks like they should carry everything.

So just to be safe, I'll need:

Motor, Battery, Controller, Battery charger, Twist Throttle, and from the look of the youtube movie I'll need a sprocket and chain too right?. Yea I'm lost on all that other stuff, what about the connectors and wires, how does this go about?
