Among others, "Build a Battery-Powered Electric Bicycle" serves the amateur craftsman who chooses to build their own.

It is also useful to the purchaser of a factory built electric bicycle to understand the capabilities of his purchase and to judge to worthiness of his brand-new bike.

The description, performance, and cost of over 45 commercial electric-powered bicycles is included.

The authors include test results of sample configurations they have built, with component-cost ranges from under $100 to over $600.
