 Yep, I thought, "if Transition is doing this, then there really is no hope.....". April fools!

 I think we can actually take this as confirmation that Transition will not be making ebikes anytime soon

 I wonder how much market share companies like transition are gaining with the big guys pushing ebikes, kinda takes the cool out of their brands.

 You guys are having way too much fun designing badass bikes. Let the ebike hate commence! Props.

 Get with the times folks! Who wouldn't want a little extra power? My buddy knows one of the Transition R&D guys and he said they're working on something that might eliminate the need to pedal for good! Guess that'll be next year.

 Classic.
I remember someone was trying to sell off some of these bikes complete here with really poor quality bikes on the local Craigslist. There where allot of people hating on it. I wonder how many fools actually bought those piles?

 I fully support this, I don't have to ride around making Brapping noises with my mouth anymore and getting funny looks from other people.

 Interesting that Transition is marketing to people who don't like the e-Bike concept. This must be a significant demographic. My shop sells Transition. We also sell Haibike e-Bikes. Our policy is to make sure to tell e-Bike customers that they are only allowed on motorized trails, and we have plenty of those to choose from.

 Does everyone realize this is an April fool's joke? There's no way that klunker is going on the market! That was a pretty funny joke though Smile

 Those engine kits actually are for sale though. I thought about putting one on a cheap bike to ride to work, but the way the rear cog bolts on gets in the way of the disc brake and Im not messing with rim brakes.

 @arphia: you can get mid drive petrol kits from sick bikes and keep your rear disc and keep the 80 cc in the power band by running it through the gears.

 @arphia: I helped my son put one of those things on an 80s Kuwahara mountain bike. Too much power, constantly having to adjust things. The solid rear axle became bent in more ways than I'd ever seen. To quote Ralph Nader: "Unsafe at any speed!"
