Is this the bike Spartacus rode last year?Originally Posted by blimlim .
The 2011 GIANT CROSS CITY 4 is a sporty, fast and comfortable bicycle that is ideal for electrical conversion. The quality running gear, good price and chromoly steel forks make it an excellent choice for a very fast transportation machine. This model pictured here I converted using a 500W motor and a 36V 10Ah lithium ion battery (LiFePO4) that comes in a custom designed lockable double layered rear rack. It offers a speed of about 35km/h and a range of approximately 30km with light pedalling. The bike retails in many shops for around $600. The kit is $890 through Solar Bike, www.solarbike.com.au . The triple walled deep V rim that comes with the motor kit are a good improvement. Installation took about 1 hour. Matt
