One Motor - to power a lot of modes of transportation.

This is a very interesting idea. Have One Motor - (battery operated electric motor) that attaches to Bikes, Kick Bikes, Scooters & even Bike share bike. The company says it mounts almost anywhere: front wheel or rear wheel. Power and speed limits are adjustable via phone app. The 750 Watt motor can hit speeds up to 28 mph, but is limited in some place to what's allowed by local laws. The complete system weighs in at about 4.5 pounds. The magnetic motor module can be installed or removed in seconds, and there's no need to disconnect the battery. The modular battery backs use a quick-release mount so it should work on any bike or scooter frame. The retractable battery cable has an easy magnetic connector. Locks at any length up to 32". Wireless pedal assist sensor snaps on magnetically and attaches to motor module magnetically for transport. Battery offers up to 10 hours of use and 10 hours standby. Charges via USB. Optional smart wireless controller clips on instantly and offers high res OLED displays key operating info. The design looks well thought out, but the price I think will shy away many people. It's $1250.00, but the spokesperson said they hope to lower that as sales pick up.
