Me like. Like its predecessor using a low power Dewalt cordless drill,
this one rocks. Now that Dewalt makes 9 amp hour batteries we are
talking some serious distance. I think it's better than a hub moter with
its conglomerate of peripherals. Throttle control is a cheep Revo
shifter with the latching mechanism removed. Simple as pie. It requires
a freewheeling pedal hub (like on drift trikes) and a method for
attaching the drill to the freewheeling pedal hub axle.

My 5 amp hour batteries are plenty for now. A round trip to the local megastore easily on one battery (no spares). I just got caught in a rainstorm coming back from buying some groceries. Put a grocery bag over the drill and its battery, tied tightly, and rode through the downpour.
