OT: DeWalt's new mud mixer for my electric bike

[John Doe]

Although I have had no trouble** using DeWalt's "20 V MAX" line of
drills to power my electric bikes, their new mud mixer "DEWALT DCD130B
60V Max Mixer/Drill with E-Clutch System" looks righteous. It's heavy at
7 pounds but it will apparently run cool even when pushing my bike at 20
+ miles per hour.

**The gear case gets hot when it's 95+ Fahrenheit, maybe different
grease will help. But the regular drills are superlight.

It's a beast. The only unnecessary things it has is the movement
activated auto shut off (to help avoid breaking bones) and the LED
light. Using their 20/60 FlexVolt batteries, it is a 60V motor. It will
directly drive either the front or back wheel. At 0-600 RPM (no-load) on
a 20" wheel, that's 35.7 mph. I guess that will be somewhere near 25 mph
real world. I've done 120 mph on a motorcycle when young, so that should
be doable.
