That's the guy, only I opted for a two speed overdrive internally geared front hub and a seven speed internal rear hub instead of derailleur stuff. Sucker is very fast, I had it up to 48 yesterday on a gentle downhill. Too fast considering that it has a lot of brake steering. I need to work on that. Also very maneuverable.

I'm not using hub motors, I'm going to add a mid-chain drive, a 1000 watt motor and a couple of LiFe batteries. That way the motor can use the gearing.  I'm hoping it won't be completely uncontrollable with an 18 foot board on top--we'll see. I might need to set up autodial for the ambulance on my cell phone.
a motor!???? you need to harden the #$%@ up!!!!! ;D
