I have different options of what's a commuter and what's not. My defintion of a commuter is what you use as daily transportation and not a toy.

You dont even know the motor wattage. It In Canada it can't be over 500 . you still got a pedal. Just cuz I'm not a traditionalist does not mean I don't peddle. Its OK grandpa the times are a changing its ok to be confused. To be devils advocate you don't obviously know the difference between the two. Your a purist and I respect that but the motor only in gages on a hill. Its a .P.A.S. System that only engages when the tourque.(NQ) reackes a certain pressure on the chain. %90 percent of the time is just waiting. Thanks Tho. I'm not trying to be a dick but smartass remarks like that are what rig pigs say when you try to give an alternative energy solution . Can't remember the last time you HAD to pedel a motorcycle.

Just quoting for posterity.
As I've pointed out, if you can actually do this, you need to get on a road bike call the UCI.

Don't worry, I'm sure any pro team would be happy to supply you with all the steel bikes you want. No need to ride on carbon or aluminum when you're rocking numbers like this.
