Power supply for child's electric bike?

Bradley

I have just been given a little child's bike that is said to be electric. It has a small motor and a few globes attached here and there. when a button is pressed the wheels spin. This is when I hook power to it from a converter from the wall. My question is, what is the best way to have it go itself with power on it and not a massive cord going to it from a power point!

Answer
Is there a place for a battery on this bike? If so, determine the voltage the motor takes and install the proper battery. I would guess that it would take a 12 volt battery, but make sure. Get a charger for it and let your kid(s) have fun.

Everyone seems to be riding them these days..
But it seems the range is limited anyway. and those DIY jobs look home-made

They are 'green', and give the rider the environmental benefits of a cyclists, without the work. It would also allow riders with health issues the ability to participate with their friends on cycling adventures. Like small motors, the electric counterpart is fickle, and prone to breakdowns. The 'home-made' only makes them potentially less dependable.

They also tend to be popular with youth riders, who (and the parents) often wrongfully thinking that it is legal for their children to ride these small motorized vehicles. In many cases they are not legal, but they are ignored by police from active enforcement.
