As I am now living less than a mile from the Washington DC line and hopefully will be employed in DC soon (third interview today), I am very interested in alternative means of transportation, hence my interest in electric bikes.
The Swiss eBike conversion using the M1 motor is slightly modified from the stock, hence the increased cost. They replaced the output shaft with a longer one that accepts a one-way clutched drive sprocket that allows pedaling when the motor is not in use. These parts are available on the parts section of their webstore.
