I do it pedaling in 50. So no, 1 hour wouldn't cut it. Seems like the price difference between fast and superfast is 200-300, probably worth the initial investment.

Electric Bike Outfitters - EBO?

Anybody have experience with their kits? Searches aren't getting me much, which gives me some concern.

I'm looking for hub drive, long range, throttle control and these seem to fit the bill.
