Default e-zip bicycles

While poking around the Plymouth Wal-Mart fishing dept, I noticed these two e-zip electric, motor assisted bicycles they have for sale. Selling for $398 and made in a male or female model, they look just like a regular mountain bike hybrid except they have a small motor tucked away behind the rear axle. Powered by a removable 18 volt battery that slides into the luggage rack, it said the rechargable battery-motor is good for about 20 miles while going about 18 mph, which seems like a fast speed for a bike.

It is a motor assisted bike, so you can either pedal it or motor it, or do both at the same time. Plus, cruising down a hill probably sends a recharge back to the battery.

For $398, they look real sturdy and well built what with slightly sturdier wheels and tires than normal !

Anyone out there have one or have used one? How good or bad do they do?
