When you say "Made", is it a conversion/addition to an existing bike or something else?

Here in PA, we have a series of old abandoned railroad tracks that have been converted to bike trails and in fact, they are known as Rails to Trails. The surface is most commonly finely crushed limestone and some are asphalt. It is now possible to travel by bike from Pittsburgh to Washington DC on a bike trail that?s known as the Great Allegheny Passage. I?ve been an E Bike owner for about 4 years and use the Passage for short trips quite often. We often bike on paved trails in Ohio, West Virginia and Virginia. I don?t agree with riding an E Bike on heavily congested roads unless there is a dedicated bike lane. Most E Bikes top speeds are 20 to 30 MPH and I don?t think they are safe at those speeds. The speed limit on the trail we use is 15 MPH. They are safe if driven responsibly on a trail.Comment

Merc,
there are several folks making conversions for bikes, that will let them work on existing rail lines
basically a side car type thing, remove the front tire, attach the bike via the forks, and the rear tire sits on the rail, the front straps to the extension that goes to the other rail, and off you go
it will hold your backpack etc as well,Comment
