When I was young bikes with a little petrol motor were an interesting oddity, mostly ridden by women of a "certain age". Now that I'm one on those women I could perhaps go for one if I could get my balance on a bike. Gmail provided me with a convenient ad for http://www.teampoynter.co.nz -- one of those folding tricycles with an electric motor addon is my style -- halfway to a mobility scooter.
Last year I had a contract which brought me into contact with Avanti bikes. They have some electric models in their range.
