But for those of us less concerned with exercise and more interested in enjoying the spaces between A and B, Ego-<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafbike.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bike conversion kit<\/a> has an answer. And it&#8217;s packing 1,200-watts of go juice.<\/p>\n<p>The bike conversion kit comes complete with a battery pack, electric motor, drive system, throttle\/controller and all the necessary mounting hardware to retrofit a claimed 70% of the bikes on the market. According to the German company, it can push an average rider uphill for 3,280 feet at an 80% maximum incline (around 40-degrees). If the terrain is flat, you can travel up to 25 miles and max out at 43 mph, and when the juice does run out, a full charge won&#8217;t take longer than an hour. Naturally, there&#8217;s a rub and it comes in the form of tonnage. The whole kit weights in at 9.7 pounds \u2013 hefty for even the most kitted out downhiller and unthinkable for a lightweight carbon roadie. Prices haven&#8217;t been announced, but expect sales and importation to begin later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re a fitness nut, the thought of having something other than your legs power you up the mountainside is tantamount to downing a McDonalds McRib while choking down your second pack of Marlboro Reds.
