60 lbs shipping weight! Yikes. 600 watts is a lot for a bike kit and
will never be street legal - those tend to be 20 mph max. Also, it's
front wheel so don't mount anything like this on an aluminum fork.

Legal depends on where you live. It's 20mph here, but in FL you can do up
to 60MPH if licensed (and nuts). 20 if not. I just ordered a 48v 500w
rear wheel system to try. It's rated at 21.7mph. With my 270lbs, I just
hope it will do close to 20. I just bought it to tinker so got the
cheapest I could find ($227.90 shipped, w/o batteries) that had decent
reviews. I've got 4 older 7-9 ah ups batteries I'll start with. With some
pedaling, hope to get 5 miles out of it.
