He writes on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peltzer.net\/ebike\/\">blog<\/a>: &#8220;The reason for this powerful a motor is simple: hills. I live on a steep hill. While a Zap or a US ProDrive rated at 400 watts goes a decent 17 mph on flat land, they slow to 3 to 5 mph on a decent hill. I can pedal that fast. However I wanted to go faster and be able to get up a hill. The simple fact is that you need from 5  to 10 times as much power to go a given speed on a decent grade. This is why a car that only needs 12 hp to go 60 mph on flat roads has an engine that can put out 100 to 200 hp.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/streetuse\/ebike51.jpg\" height=\"300\" width=\"400\" border=\"1\" align=\"middle\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" alt=\"Ebike51\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kk.org\/streetuse\/ebike53.jpg\" height=\"533\" width=\"400\" border=\"1\" align=\"middle\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" alt=\"Ebike53\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A separate independently created home-made electric bike, found on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/aminorjourney\/sets\/72157594363137710\/\">Flickr<\/a> (via <a href=\"http:\/\/makezine.com\/blog\/\">Makezine<\/a>).
