I had this mid-90s GT rusting in the tool shed so I decided to clean it, restore it, and convert it to an electric bike to ride to work. I sanded off the rust, replaced only the seat and grips, painted it flat black, and bolted on an Army ammo box that was also in the shed. I lock the battery in the ammo box so I won't have to carry it around, and I ran the wires under the top bar and through a hole I cut into the ammo box. Most people don't realize it's motorized; they just love the look! [url][/url]

That's pretty cool rainguad. I like the ammo box idea...

My wife bought me an old reconditioned Schwinn Jaguar beach cruiser, but it sat in the garage because my out-of-shape 71 year old body couldn't get it up the slight grades in our neighborhood. It now sports a Hilltopper wheel and my biking has become an every day ride of 3 to 6 miles. I only use the motor for short 30 second to a couple of minute bursts to help me make the grades. I'm now enjoying the biking an exercise I need thanks to Clean Republic. I bike short trips to the grocery and bank, and leave the gas burner in the drive.
