I'm fat and need to exercise more. Would like to ride my mountain bike to work a few days every week, but it's 30 kilometers each way and 450 meters in elevation climbing. Basically a big mountain park area between my home and office. Unfortunately I don't have the time and energy to ride both ways.

I've seen some of these hybrid bikes on the net, but must admit I don't know shit about them. What I like is the fact that you still get some exercise while riding them, and the electric motor will help you get up the hills. I don't think range would be a problem, as it's only 30kms each way and then I can re-charge.



Anybody know more about this kind of transport? Reputable supplier? I wouldn't mind spending some cash on this as it would save a lot on gas and help keep me fit. I have a Cannondale Scalpel, any way to put the motor on it?

Thanks!
