I can't remember who the original poster of the request for information about
motors you can add to bikes was, so this is a general posting to the original
newsgroup.

There was an article in the Auto Express here in the UK (date May 5, 1992) 
about Sinclair's new electric Zike. The phone number given for more info was
(0)933 279300. The price was given as 499 pounds, with a top speed of 12
miles an hour(!). It has rather small wheels, and is described in the article
as 'unstable'.

In the same article, a product called the Boosta Bike is mentioned. This is 
a 'power pack which can be added to any normal bicycle'. A special motor 
drive fixes to the front wheel (at least 20-inch wheel) and two small lead-
acid batteries are mounted on a rear pannier. In total, it weighs around 16
kg. The price given is 295 pounds, and the phone number (0)225 891912.

Is this what you are looking for?
