Wow, $300 bucks is a great price for 30 miles. I have a Bionx kit on my hybrid bicycle that cost me $1700 (not including the bicycle).

The 3 gears work pretty well when the batteries are more fully charged and you can feel a slight speed increase in 2nd or 3rd. When less fully charged, 2nd and 3rd gears go slightly slower than 1st gear. We're talking maybe a 1-2mph difference so not a big deal.

Wonder if the lithium batteries can replace the regular batteries at a later point (i.e. a couple of hundred charges)?
