Barrons "Gadget of the Week (Nov 22, 2008)" is Schwinn's Tailwind.
"The Tailwind looks like a fine classic bike, and most of the time it rides like one. But turn a key just below the saddle and a small but powerful electric motor on the front hub cuts in to give you just the boost you need."
Check it out at schwinnelectricbikes.com

Those bikes are beautiful. And just the right amount of power (not that I've tried it, but a bicylist racing hard is producing 350 to 450 watts, and since that front hub motor is 280, it's going to give a great but not overwhelming boost)
I'm drooling over the shaft drive one. No chain! No stretched out chain wearing down the teeth of the crank and cassette gears, not to mention the grime and countless other issues eliminated.
The Schwinn site about those is great too, but I'll have to dig a bit deeper to find the prices...
I hope more people will follow your lead and post their finds on here!

Follow this link to see the Rocket Trike! Electrified and upgraded trike with a complete shell airfoil. This should be the dominating commuter on all our roads in the near future! Other versions could be 2 wheels, or bigger, or smaller, have room for a passenger or 2 people to pedal. I'm very jealous and would like try it out! Clean and warm and power for the hills are the highlights in my mind.
