I bought my first 1000 watt electric motor bike from Eagle Motorcycles Philippines last year, 2008, to putter around on in beautiful Subic Freeport, in Olongapo, Zambales. It was such a joy to drive around on a motorbike that didn't choke me with fumes and best of all, it was so quiet! I was able to sneak up on all sorts of wild 
life that abound right off the paved roads winding through the forests around here.Our little surrogate daughter, Alysha, loved the motorbike from the first day I placed her on one! She is now a year older and is totally hooked on them.
I didn't have any trouble going up the hills alone, even though the unit did slow down on the steeper hills, but now the baby is older and heavier, so I ride this unit alone now for errands.
I have since bought a 3000 watt motorcycle that is capable of climbing the steep hills in Subic. This way my wife Diana and Alysha can easily go along for my rides through the forest or to nearby restaurants and this e-bike doesn't slow down enough for me to care...although of course, being a previous owner of a Honda Shadow tourer, I am looking into the 5000 watt unit.
I haven't figured out yet how to tell Diana that I am getting even a larger e-bike! hahaha
