Not quite people powered. More like people/gas hybrid.

I posted my adventures and mis-adventures with it here:

It claims 150 MPG, but I bet I can tweak that up.

The idea originally was to keep the bike light so I could get it into the trunk of my car, but now wondering about adding an electric motor hub to the front wheel.

I wouldn't count on 150 mpg. I've got the Dax 50cc kit and I'm lucky to get 80 mpg with it - but that might have more to do with winding it out than if I actually obeyed the 15 mph speed limit for motor assisted bicycles in Oregon.

It's allot of fun though. Mine is built on a recycling center special that I put together from numerous junk bikes. I found a cruiser for $2 earlier this year that I thought about putting it on, but it would ruin the cruiser IMO.

My favorite motored bike site is motoredbikes.com. (Same username.)
