Congratulations to Kent Riches with his Omega electric bike -- 149+!

See, Kent -- I told you the longer cord was worth the effort.

I think he needs to attach a playing card with a clothes pin so the spokes rub on it and it makes some kind of noise. I think the smell or nitro is better then the smell of battery acid.
