This is a nice very comfortable long wheel based 500W hub electric recumbent bike. The motor/ battery system just recently added. Has 5 levels of assist and throttle. Also has 16 manual gears. Very fast bike with a lot of power. Good for shorter riders but is adjustable for all sizes. Especially good for commuting (due to speed and comfort and storage potential) or riding on the Katy Trail as it has nice wide tires. The value of the bike itself is $850-$1000. The electric system cost around $2000 Battery always stored inside and maintained correctly.
