Nice Job! however, I prefer a motor that doesn't take up/eliminate your Mirage drive pedals. I like the idea of using both the pedal and motor at the same time.

By using both the mirage drive pedal power and electric motor simultaneously your battery will last a lot longer and you'll go faster and longer with less strain on your legs.

your project looks good though, let us know how you like it.

Great post and pics. Very informative as well.
I'll be thinking of you when you see that big boil way off in the distance and your legs and arms are already beat. Just click on the switch and away you go.
Gotta be nice as well at the end of the day when an offshore wind kicks in and you've got that added power coming in.
