> THE TOP 10 IDEAS FOR
> 5K     RECEIVE FUNDING
> Overview
> Making bikes electric helps people get around much easier than if they 
> were to drive. The kits I use are legal to use on the street, and do 
> not require the bike to be registered with the DMV. Electric bikes do 
> not require the rider to have a liscense either. There are many people 
> who can benefit from an electric bike. Whether someone has an injury 
> preventing them from pedaling, or a lack of stamina, electric bikes 
> are great for everyone. Deliverables include many bike demonstrations 
> so people can get the ebike experience. Also free ebike kits will be 
> given to people with free installation.

> How will the 5K be Used?
> $ 3,500    Ebike kits and lithium batteries
> $ 200    Tools and materials
> $ 1,300    website and advertising
> Budget Notes: The budget doesn't cover a store front, or extra 
> inventory. The $3,500 will buy about three kits equipped with 
> batteries.Although I have most of the tools needed, and bike stand 
> would be purchased with the $200 so I can work on the bikes.
> About Michael Perez
> I am an electric bike builder that has been converting ordinary bikes 
> into electric bikes for the past year. The bikes I have converted have 
> allowed people with injuries and disabilities to get around. Electric 
> bikes also help people get around by bike instead of driving.
