E+ may be the best balanced, most powerful, and easiest system to install. It has the 36 volt motor in the rear hub and the battery pack in the front hub. It is relatively fast and easy to get. |

Gas Engine Kits If you're going to be powering your cycle with a small gas engine in California, you will most likely want to spend a little more cash and go with a 4 stroke engine that has gear reduction. The Grubbee Huas Sheng 49cc Skyhawk is very common. A complete kit in Santa Barbara will cost you about $400 |

In Santa Barbara 2 stroke engines may be more fun to operate and cost less money but they are frowned upon because they make more noise and create more smog. Still, quite a few have them. Kits are a little more difficult to get because California doesn't want to import them, but they can be found for less than $200. |

Shift Kits After you get your engine installed on your bike and you have it running and fine tuned, you might consider adding a shift kit, which will power the gearing of your rear wheel with the engine or your legs. This will save wear and tear on your engine, and help with take offs and going up hills. It will also add a lot of top end speed. I can get you a shift kit for less than $200 here in Santa Barbara |
