[FRIAM] The God Equation

[Steve Smith]

uǝlƃ ↙↙↙ -

I've been watching for an "affordable" early generation Zero for some
time... unfortunately the tech evolves so fast by the time I call one
"affordable" the specs (mostly range) looks really lame to me (100 miles
is the new 40).  

A few years ago I slapped a $200 hub motor on my 30 year old mountain
bike with a half-dozen NiMH DCell Sticks (salvaged from my Insight)
strapped up like a bundle of dynamite on the back rack).  It gives me
just enough boost/range that my old-man
legs/hips/belly/lungs/heart/glutes can perform  vaguely like they did a
decade or two ago but what I'm really holding out for is some
seven-league-boot class prosthetics.
