I recently discovered an electric start kit for my bicycle. If you have basic mechanical skills, the assembly is straightforward. The kit includes everything you need to get started, except gasoline. I've been riding the bike for a few years, and the only modification I made was to the rear sprocket. I live in a hilly area, and I don't always feel like pedaling. The provided rear sprocket is adequate for most riders in terms of power and speed, but I wanted a little more oomph. I'm happy to report that the electric start option with pull start backup has been the best configuration so far!
