How did you decide to get and install a motor rather than buy an e-bike? Is there a motor you would recommend similar to the one on this e-bike: http://ohmcycles.com/electric-commuter-bike/?

I live in CT where there are alot of hills so this would be great. It would give access to places where my knees can't go. So my questions is what brand/model of electric motor did you and where from and how much? Sounds great. I live in CT where there are alot of hills so this would be great.
